How U.S. Apaches ANNIHILATED Iran's Mosquito Fleet in the Strait of Hormuz

About this video

Max analyzes Operation Project Freedom in the Strait of Hormuz, where he describes US Apache and Seahawk helicopters sinking six Iranian fast attack boats on May 4-5, 2026. He explains the technical capabilities of the platforms involved and offers his assessment that Iran’s ability to control the strait—what he characterizes as their last major leverage—is being systematically dismantled by US forces.

Key takeaways

• Max recounts that US helicopters achieved a 100% intercept rate against Iranian boats, missiles, and drones during the operation’s first day
• Max explains that Iran’s ‘mosquito fleet’ swarming tactics are designed for surface ships but helicopters eliminate that tactical advantage entirely
• Max assesses that Operation Project Freedom represents a strategic shift showing Iran they have lost their ability to leverage the Strait of Hormuz, potentially forcing regime change or negotiation
