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

[kobra]

That pretty much confirms it. The ugly phase is starting. No more 'video game'.

Whatever US will achieve in Iran with ground invasion (regime topple, Oil exports infrastructure capture, entering inside and destroying missile cities, capture of 400 kg HEU) whatever they are aiming! This ground operation was not planned earlier, This is planned abrubtly unlike Air campaign which was planned for atleast two-three months!

Amphibious Normandy landing assaults against modern FPV drones good luck with that . Americans will not be ready for FPV drone footage of their own guys being mercilessly targeted, over and over again. It's gonna suck being the first wave of occupiers. To all reports. Iranians have prepared well. Kharg island is Irans kill box.

It won't be amphibious landing at first, will strictly be a airborne assault until landing sites are secured.

I think future of warfare is IR/EO based systems and munitions and portable laser based systems. Not these bulky systems like THAAD or S-500 that need to be protected and can be taken out by 50,000 drone. Look at how many high grade air defense Russian is losing in this war.

It’s hard for any system to stand up against an onslaught of drone swarms and cheap munitions. There is the ammo problem and then their in the cost problem and then their is time to development problem. These systems were built with Cold War conflicts in mind and not $5000 FPV drones.

I think quantum radar is another major field that can impact stealth that’s been in development by the U.S. since 1991. Basic premise is entangling particles in an airspace vector that when distributed by a transiting object (ie fighter jet) would alert the respective counter-particles in the radar system. This would negate stealth as you aren’t relying on bouncing radar waves off the object. And quantum mechanics probalistic wave function says that a particle is both a particle and a wave until it is measured or forced to collapse the wave function into coherent value/point in space/time. I believe that’s what I read way back when I was bored.

Air defence missile system is never meant to be the sole or primary asset to repel an air assault against a superpower air force. Big systems like S-300, S-400, HQ is like a magnet that attracts all the stand-off munitions and swarm drones coming at them. Even if the SAM operator is able to overcome all the jamming and interference signals, the SAM is going to be defeated easily due to its limited quantity of interceptors. The best bet in a SAM in dealing with a mighty air force is those small mobile SHORAD like the Russian Sosna-R that works passively in the IRST/EO mode. This type of SAM can act as a "guerrilla" fighter by lying low and waiting for an opportunity to ambush. Imagine having a thousand of this type of SAM along with MANPADS spread out over 200 locations, you're more likely to score a hit and complicate your enemies' air assault than having those big SAM. The hit on that F-35 really confirms my belief that only passive SHORAD has a chance to ambush against an air force like the U.S. I'm not familiar with quantum radar so I can't comment on that

can someone tag me and rhe video of kc135 shot in Anbar province in iraq

This Globemaster would have already done its drop, it turned its transponder off at ~10:30 UTC, hours ago

While that is true, I don't have a whole lot of faith in 'war planning'. Were Afghanistan war and Iraq war of 2003 planned well? Nothing ever seemed to have worked as planned. Only the 1991 Gulf war appears to have been planned well and executed according to plan. But the main thing that helped was, the goal was limited and President George HW Bush did not become greedy (as in wanting regime change).

Massacre is waiting... they prepared 20 years for this day... 27 days war already proved that. Many surprises are waiting for them

just turned off the transponder more than half way towards Busherr reactor.. special ops on its way

detour toward that island i guess.

F-18 narrow miss over Iran following a strafing run. Rhino aircrew flew very confidently

Thats how haha

Zelensky? Hunter? Or Charlie Sheen?

14 hours no new missile launch from Iran to Israel - longest lull of the war

Hezbollah has been firing rockets all night
