Iran - Israel/US War: Israel-US declare war on Iran, Iran responds

[Ali_Baba]

I think Iran was very smart to invest in its BM program. Its more survivable and creates more deterrence under the circumstances Iran lives in.

No matter how strong your airforce is. It will survive only few days against a super power. The more lasting deterrence will be your missile force.

I am not undermining the value of Airforce at all. But realistically Iran could have only 300 to 400 fighter jets. That threat can be eliminated sooner than BMs which were in 10s of thousands and that too in hardened underground facilities.

Israel has 300 jets, and look at how much havoc they can create with that number.

400 modern jets backed by an effective IADs and base defence is a deterrence that you don't want to deal with period.

But if safety measures like Very Hardened Shelters and some 1-2 jets hiding in caves can be implemented securely, having at least 100 4th gen fighters is better than nothing, as you can still keep the BM force but now the enemy has to spend lots more time finding out where the fighters are kept and hidden while still having to find and take out BM launchers.

May be out of the place. The serious Turkish analysts are now crying for nuclear weapons (not the ones under the NATO command)....

That time is long gone. Countries that started by the 80s succeeded. Now, at best, countries can make alliances with nuclear states now, but nobody's getting any new Nuclear weapons anymore. Maybe 1971 was a blessing in disguise that pushed us. Otherwise Pakistan would have been sitting with nothing in hand, as well.

NK was a rare anomaly in this rule, coz they were a rogue disconnected secretive authoritarian state protected by China.

Looks like the war is going last longer that initially expected.

lol. You know what that can do, it can steal US tech. It can steal how the US uses electronic warfare during war, during war. And communication.

That is epic trolling. If the US hits it, China can enter the war and attack Taiwan.

If they didn’t care B-52s would be fattening cities right now with cheap dumb bombs instead of wasting money on expensive precision tomahawk cruise missiles.

If your excuse for waging constant wars is "Hey look, we haven't completely committed mass genocide against your people" then it's a poor excuse and you've been spending too much time with the Zionists

As you can see, Israel and the US currently are bombing Iran with little to no challenge.

An airforce, even if it lasts a few days, would have allowed Iran to lob missiles under safer circumstances for much longer and under air protection.

Yeh, but they are running out of ammo and need time to resupply. Iran is devastating Tel-Aviv and it remains to be seen how long the Pervert genocidal nation Israel can last. I guess they will make calls to their pedo network partners for help.

Ameen to that. That satanic state of Israel.

Absolutely disgusting to kill innocent school children who were girls in Iran.

People who say Iran does not need to invest in an airforce refuses to recognise that one of the reasons why Iran is in this position is because it has no airforce!

At least three tankers were damaged off the Gulf coast after US and Israeli strikes on Iran triggered Iranian retaliation that put merchant ships at risk of collateral damage, shipping sources and officials said on Sunday.

Risks to commercial shipping have surged in the past 24 hours, with more than 200 vessels including oil and liquefied gas tankers dropping anchor around the Strait of Hormuz and surrounding waters, shipping data showed on Sunday.

At least 150 tankers, including crude and LNG vessels, dropped anchor in open Gulf waters beyond the Strait of Hormuz and dozens more were stationary on the other side of the chokepoint, shipping data showed on Sunday, after US and Israeli strikes on Iran plunged the region into turmoil.

The tankers were clustered in open waters off the coasts of major Gulf oil producers, including Iraq and Saudi Arabia, as well as liquefied natural gas giant Qatar, according to Reuters estimates based on ship-tracking data from the MarineTraffic platform.

On Saturday, an official from the European Union's naval mission Aspides said that vessels have been receiving VHF transmission from Iran's Revolutionary Guards saying "no ship is allowed to pass the Strait of Hormuz".
