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

About this video

Max hosts a live stream from his new studio with his father, Bodie Bodenheimer, a former F-16, F-4, and OV-10 pilot. They discuss recent U.S. Apache and Seahawk helicopter strikes against Iranian fast-attack craft in the Strait of Hormuz, with Max analyzing the broader conflict and Bodie sharing his own Cold War-era experiences intercepting unknown aircraft, including a drug-running Cessna, and preparing for potential nuclear war scenarios. Bodie also recounts career highlights spanning multiple decades and aircraft types.

Key takeaways

• Max and Bodie discuss recent CENTCOM reports that U.S. Apaches and Seahawk helicopters destroyed six to seven Iranian fast-attack craft in the Strait of Hormuz
• Max argues that the U.S. military is dominating Iran tactically despite political debate, citing limited U.S. casualties in a large-scale operation
• Bodie shares Cold War-era stories, including intercepting a drug-running Cessna in an F-4 and training with eye patches to prepare for nuclear flash blindness
• Max contends that Iran has long used control of the Strait of Hormuz as extortion and credits current U.S. leadership for placing merit-based commanders in charge
