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

[Viet]

countering ku band ground stations you will achieve nothing but to decrease a little bandwidth, satellites will comunicate each other to reach the nearer ground station.

Not a specific frequency. It’s all about signal runtime, t=length/speed of light. the shorter the way, the faster the response.
Low earth orbit satellites are most suitable for combat operations. operators need live data to control drones, missiles, fighter jets to targets.

Looks like routine maintenance,

Yes - "it was the rapid unscheduled disassembly" service interval light that came on which needed this action.

what is the difference between a near ground station or a mesh network of sats to reach far ground station? 500ms? Acceptable delay to control a drone.

starlink can't be stopped attacking near ground stations.

As I mentioned yesterday, I feared we would come to this. PAF would have to secure any Iranian delegation to Pakistan

(+) 1 x Ford Class Carrier - "Damaged" during combat operations ?

I don't think it was a laundry fire. I don't think Iran hit it either. I think there was a fire in a system as a result of "operations". Could the EMALS batteries have caught on fire ?? Something big caught fire We will never know, but safe to say you don't get 200 sailors injured fighting a fire for 2 days straight in the laundry room..

We didnt see fire or injured people, or how the incident started.

What we all see was the USS Gerald Ford in North Red Sea, avoiding South Red Sea, Houthi area.

So maybe the real reason of USS Gerald Ford coming back to Greece was avoid Houthi, and all the rest of excuses was just another American lies.

USS Lincoln is nearer to Iran coast, if the problem was due to Iran attacks, then USS Lincoln had been more damaged than USS Gerald Ford.

When he says "unfortunately"

lol, so how much did those drones cost that just destroyed tens of millions of pounds of aircraft. A few thousands of pounds? That’s the problem. The US Warmongers prepared for the wrong type of war, and is hopelessly outmatched. Well done Iran.

Whilst powerful optics that hurt the prestige of the US, the reality is E-3C TAIL (0005/OK) alongside comprising E-3B (77-0355/OK) and E-3G (80-0139/OK) were retired and last flew in August of 2023.

Establishing a secure connection ...

The E3 Sentry is being replaced by the Boeing E-7A Wedgetail as the E3 Sentry is an aging platform and deemed to be underperforming in PACOM.

USAF’s First E-7 Wedgetail Takes Shape as Service Struggles to Keep E-3 Sentry Flying

The E-3 Sentry is afflicted by acute parts and maintenance issues as the Boeing 707 aircraft it is based on ceased production 30 years ago. Nearly three

yeah so that makes it totally ok to get a £300 million AWACS destroyed by £30,000 drones

 

[Aziqbal]

US can immidiately replace the losses

4 x E767 AWACS with JAPAN
6 x E-7 Wedgetail with AUSTRALIA
4 x E-7 Wedgetail with South Korea

i think they already have requested fro Australian wedgetails already.

Cry harder

The world celebrates

To over confident to understand need for protection.

When he says "unfortunately"

some are reporting 3 x KC-135 and 2 more damaged

[Yasser76]

They have plenty of KC-135s and they are being replaced by KC-46. All of them are destined for the boneyard after this war anyway.

The real damages are the special mission planes and the fighter jets

This video is very very good - it will be remembered long after this war is over like the image below.
