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

if the US truly rescued this bastard, then Trump will certainly launch a very bold ground invasion. and by this evidence, Artesh and IRGC have zero preparedness or competence to counter such an invasion, and it will go extremely badly for Iran.

They knew where the pilot was due to beacon, tracker, comms etc picking him him, causing confusion is difficult but not impossible, especially if the areas was sparse

It's completely different trying to force thousands of soldiers into a country trying to resist, where your launch areas and points of invasion are known


Irans biggest problem will be facing the air attacks protecting any ground force, not the ground force itself
 
Propaganda value. They don’t want Iran parading him on TV and making the U.S. and President look weak.

Do you think Russia does this stuff in Ukraine? No.

Do you think China would do this stuff? Also No.
So is that propaganda value worth the exchange of military resources to obtain? Men and equipment will certainly be lost to get it. Meanwhile, the drone and missile attacks continue and ships still aren't crossing Hormuz. I think the idea that Trump would have called off an invasion because of one pilot is not realistic.
 
Jack Murphy, a US journalist and military commentator who previously served in U.S. Army Special Operations (including as a Green Beret). He is the co-founder of The High Side, hosts The Team House podcast, and reports on national security and covert operations.

I think he is right here. Considering his military background, he may have first hand inside news.
tbh he has a vested interest in saying the pilot was rescued, whether he was indeed rescued or not has still yet to be objectively determined
 
forget the islands, these bastards are flying freely between Esfahan and Shiraz in central Iran for several hours
That's what air superiority gives you. You think in black and white don't you. it is never a good idea to show one's card to win a mere battle.
 
in Afghanistan the US immediately removed the Taliban from power and sent them hiding in caves for 20 years until they got bored and withdrew
U.S. military 'rule' was only in Kabul. Outside of about 30-mile radius it was Taliban or lawlessness. Somewhat similar in Iraq. Outside of 'Green Zone' it was all terrorist land. Even a potato head will know that U.S. Military can't rule Iran.

This is very embarrassing for us. And very concerning too. This actually gave me a headache yesterday and I had to take a break from PDF lol
 
Even if the terrorist has been found and saved, the bigger issue for me is lots of loss of life on Iranian side trying to capture him, so its a big loss and a small morale boosting victory for trumpy pumpy.

The one thing I would say is, its very different searching and trying to capture a copilot and invading and holding an island. The copilot was likely constant on the move an island isnt going anywhere.

Still not a good moment if true for Iran.
 
But at same where is the army or IRGC ground forces ? It seems like nobody was aware. It's possible the AA guy who shot down the F15 did not actually believe he shot it down and didn't corroborate that appropriately.

I'm also doubtful any reports of firefights. There is probably limited US special forces involved.

And I also think Israel is helping with airstrikes trail which they have extensive experience in
Cry what you want to cry .

If air superiority or any technological advantage really mattered in this war, the US & Israel would’ve actually won it by now. 🙄

Well currently, Iran does not have that many dimensions to their military to work with. They have to pick and choose where to exert and where not to exert much. Committing serious defense for a mere weapons officer may look like bad optics but for people looking for small victories but I am assuming people incharge there are not those folks...
 
It’s 4:15 AM local time.

It’s been about 2 hours since the early news hit the wires. The operation is likely over one way or another as sunrise is approaching in 90 mins.

We will find out shortly what actually happened over night.

It does matter especially when executing a ground operation. That is not Iran's play. It will start when the operation has completed and forces are at rest occupying.

Or it could be we actually care about our fighter pilots they are very valuable so much so that the USAF, USN, USArmy and Marines have dedicated special ops for rescuing pilots behind enemy lines.
