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

[Immortals]

Asked around about it. Other than US military jets shot down by friendly fire, no other manner aircraft have been lost. Israelis and Americans are flying over Iran uncontested. The current Iranian Air Force are not capable of countering them. The missile and drones from Iran has been much more effective in attacking their points of interest, with some legitimate targets comprising of some occupied and empty US airbases, along with civilian casualties in Bahrain (which is also a result of their own feud with Bahrain for a long time).

The only Iranian air defense weapon proven to be useful has been the 358/359 loitering munitions and the Majid passive SHORAD. These are good for tackling MALE UAVs, but not fighter jets.

If iran survives this war, the next step would be to build supersonic versions of the loitering Air defense munitions that can loiter in an airspace then quickly attack a fighter jet. Since these are launched off of rails and simple ramps, they are much more survivable than big bulky air defense systems that can detected from space.

Nonetheless, Iran will need to likely import billions of Russian or Chinese systems and completely rebuild the air defense architecture from scratch with lessons learned from the war.

Iranian Air Force and NAvy were non factors (as expected). I wouldn’t expect iran to invest heavily in either post war.

Problem is what’s the incentive for Iran to stop there is no incentives with no guarantees that Israel will return even without America backing it up needs to keep hitting back all this means is their stock of interceptors are at red they planned this for several days at best thought Iran was going to lift the white flag

CNN, the least trusted name in news, once again peppers a sprinkling of journalism in its opinions pieces being passed off as genuine news.

Doing some searching on my own, and using the power of AI to consolidate the findings, the out is as follows:



Now, let's break this down further:

1. In 2008, the President was George W. Bush. The US was embroiled in both Afghanistan and Iraq.
2. 2011-2014, the guy in charge was Obama.
3. 2022-2024, the guy in charge was Biden. The world was also dealing with covid as well as the Russian invasion of Ukraine

This is why I cannot take CNN seriously.

A surprisingly good article on the naval options the US is now considering to open the Strait of Hormuz. Whole focus of the war for the US has now shifted to lower energy prices for domestic economic and political reasons.

I understand that. My objective was to prove or disprove the authenticity of the post due to the lack of citation by the person who posted it.
