Iran has built a fake aircraft carrier that closely resembles US navy vessels for use in live drills, amid escalating tensions between the two countries.

The replica holds 16 mock-ups of fighter jets on its deck, satellite photos taken by Maxar Technologies revealed.

Iranians better attack replicas. It may seem childish to Americans, and lead us to think the Iranian leadership are like children, but better they attack replicas that the real thing, for if they ever attacked the real thing, it would be all over for the Iranian Navy, the USA would blow them out of the water.
it looks as a joke. US aircraft carrier has some defense but a mock one has not.
