AiTellyHow does the US manage to track Iranian mine-laying ships from hundreds of miles away The answer is the P-8 Poseidon.
These aircraft along with the Navy unmanned Submarines are equipped with technology so sensitive, they can detect the exact acoustic signature of a single sea mine splashing into the water. But finding the mines is only half the battle. so How does the US military actually strike back.

The second a US fighter jets take off, the Iranian radar screens lights up. You might remember the last time a US jet was hit by an Iranian missile and the desperate, high-stakes rescue mission that followed. It’s a nightmare the US refuses to repeat. To neutralize the threat before a single shot is fired, the US calls in the EA-18 G Growler “And” Its mission To completely blind the enemy’s radar.
