  • Meanwhile Iran's sending planes that belong in museums into battle, old Su-22s, Su-24s, F-4 Phantoms, etc.

    A friend of mine told me Iran conducted "a raid with Phantoms in Iraq", but I silently dismissed it because I think he's reading too many IRAN MILITARY ass twitter accounts. Did they, though?

    Iran's air defence operators and air force are very brave, fighting against the odds.

    They are indeed. I guess it's an example of what happens when your back is against the wall and you have nothing more to lose. Godspeed to them.

  • Even the most advanced aircraft can get shot down if circumstances align, poor mission planning, operator error, etc are all factors (as seen in Serbia with regards to mission planning).

    And I think these factors will become worse and worse as attrition starts to settle and dig in into the troops and their command structure. IF Iran manages to keep up the pace with its ballistic missiles and drones strikes, while also keeping the bulk of their AD relatively operational, the enemy coalition will most likely start making errors due to attrition, exhaustion and so on. Maybe, just maybe, a lone HAWK battery manages to slip through the cracks at some point and score a kill on some careless F-35...?

    And it's really interesting how a lot of people pay attention to an F-15E getting shot down. It is big news, and it's good that it is big news, because this shit is felt in the homefront. In material terms it is just a number, one less F-15.. so what? How many does the US have readily available anyways? However there's always a symbolic correlate: The US Military built itself a reputation of being near invincible, yet Iran with it's Cold War era stuff while being attacked every hour by technology possible only in Star Wars or something managed to get their kill.

    And about Yemen, didn't they also managed to get a lock onto an F-35 too, even if briefly?

  • F-15 in shambles.

    Happy to see Iran score it's first kill on a manned aircraft.

    Now why, why do these fucking pieces of shit always survive? BOTH CREW MADE IT OUT ALIVE? Meanwhile, whenever the Epstein Axis shoots down an iranian plane, the pilot or the crew whole fucking dies. Plot armor or just an insane amount of time and resources poured into making sure the pilots, even when shot down, do survive (barring the CSAR operations which are strictly common in the US Military).

  • It was bound to happen, eventually. The technological gap between the Epstein Coalition and Iran is far too great for the latter to do anything about it. There isn't much you can do if you're not Russia or China, the rest of us are cooked in different levels, but cooked nonetheless.

  • How does Donald Trump define medium and high grade weaponry? That is not how weaponry is categorized.

    He's the guy who thinks the actual n word is "nuclear" and also made a sketch for a "futuristic battleship" he himself named Trump class or whatever the fuck.

  • I think such adventure can only come if the Epstein Coalition manages to shut down most of the iranian missile launch sites, which is a hard thing to do because most are mobile.. attempting a ground operation while the enemy knows your staging areas and has the missiles/drones to hit them is a TERRIBLE idea. And the amount of materiel and men required for such task is stupidly gigantic, I think AT LEAST half a million men are needed to begin taking some ground in Iran. In other cases you could rely on internal dissidents, the "IDF" and the kurdish militias that want to participate however it appears that there are no reliable, well-armed allies in the interior of Iran that can tie up significant forces (Like the Northern Alliance in Afghanistan).

    Any ground operation against Iran right now is outright suicidal, if the US government and military wants to entertain the idea of receiving thousands upon thousands of coffins wrapped in US flags containing the sorry remains of soldiers, so be it. You don't interrupt your enemy while it's doing a mistake.

    They can do things like this because they're under the protection of Nuclear Weapons.

  • The Iranian Air Force, despite not flying combat sorties, has just scored a free kill on the US Air Force.

    It does say alot about the IAF and their Air Defenses though, thus far all they had managed to shoot down were at least one or two "israeli" drones. As for combat aircraft, the only confirmed destruction on the Epstein Alliance was a likely friendly fire incident. Can't really blame the IRIAF, you can't go up against F-35s, F-15s and F-22s with Tomcats and Phantoms...

    Gotta have Nukes AND Air Defence systems, Ayatollah.

  • Two photos from the F-15E that was shot down by it's own AD over Kuwait:

    AmeriKKKan pilot taken prisoner by a guy with a plastic tube or something

    Same guy (?) being taken to a SUV.

    Given that Kuwait is an US vassal I don't expect these civilians to outright kill the guy (even though he was assisting "israel" in a genocide). I do expect him to drop him off at the nearby US military base saying "here, take care of your shit next time" and drive off.

  • Dude learned about Khamenei like yesterday or so. Surprising he didn't call him a Communist though.

    Either way, the sayings of a "player" sitting in the fourth or fifth row aren't relevant in the grand scheme of things.
