You Won't Believe What The U.S. Military Just Did To Open Strait Of Hormuz

About this video

Max analyzes a hypothetical 2026 military scenario in which he describes U.S. forces attempting to reopen the Strait of Hormuz during a fictional conflict with Iran. He explains the role of the EA-18G Growler in electronic warfare, its jamming capabilities, and how Max envisions it working alongside F-35Bs from the USS Tripoli, advanced drones, and other assets. Max also discusses his interpretation of Iranian defenses, underwater threats, and speculates on potential amphibious operations.

Key takeaways

• Max describes the EA-18G Growler’s electronic warfare capabilities, including radar jamming, anti-radiation missiles, and creating ’electronic corridors’ by blinding enemy sensors
• Max outlines how he envisions integrated operations combining Growlers, F-35Bs from the USS Tripoli, advanced AI drones, and underwater systems to counter coastal radars, anti-ship missiles, and unmanned underwater vehicles
• Max emphasizes that controlling the electromagnetic spectrum, airspace, and undersea domain simultaneously is essential to what he describes as opening a contested maritime chokepoint
