Depleted uranium warheads that kill our navel assets within seconds.

Iran's "Sunburn" missiles refer to the SS-N-22 Moskit (P-80), a Russian-designed, supersonic, ramjet-powered anti-ship cruise missile. They are considered a severe threat to U.S. and allied naval forces in the Persian Gulf and Strait of Hormuz due to their high speed, low-altitude flight, and evasive maneuvers.
