I know what you're trying to say but it doesn't really prove a point. I would not expect shipping vessels to detect drones. Shipping vessels have a small crew and they work deep in the ship maintaining the working parts, or in the tower doing navigation and shit. They don't work out on the deck where they can look up at the sky. Their equipment is meant to look for other ships and obstacles in the water that they need to avoid. Their equipment is not looking for aircraft like a military ship would.

Beyond that military drones fly very high. If you watch any of the drone footage of ground attacks you'll see people and animals on the ground milling about totally unaware that there's a crosshairs on them, then GATGATGATGATGATGATGATGAT they are still milling about because they can't hear the shots, then there's a cloud of dust from the impacts and they all go scrambling for their lives. Even if Iran's drones are worse than the US's, they're probably hard to see from the ground, especially by people who aren't looking for them. The ocean is also very noisy, there's waves, there's the engine noise, and there's a lot of wind because there aren't obstacles to slow it down. They would not have heard the drones either.

It's not the actual shipping vessels that would detect it. It's the Military instillations around the area that would. Iran's right across the strait. Iran is USA/Pissrael's/Saudi's "greatest enemy." If they was to try and fly something over, we would of detected it for sure.

I also HIGHLY doubt Yemen could of done this. This really seems like either an inside job, or kikes
