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

[SABRE]

Iran does not even have AWACS

Iran has put too much emphasis on ballistic sales for too long

They don't even have an air force to speak of. So much talk of Su-35 arriving soon. In the end nothing came of it. I understand ballistic missiles give revolutionary guard and their boss direct control over military operations but ignoring the air force as they have is criminal. Iran has nothing in the air to defend itself.

my hunch is telling me, Iran is getting ready and night gets closer..
and expect the unexpected, next 12 hours are decisive for the region.

Iranians very calm no reason!

Pakistani pilots are indeed highly skilled

but even Pakistani pilots won't achieve anything in 50 year old F-14 and F-4 jets against Israel's F-35s

I couldn't agree with you more.

Which raises questions as to why Iran never moderenized their Air Force with the assistance of China & Russia - two great Partners/Friends.

Despite the media narrative the Iraqi government is more controlled by the US than Iran. Even the pro-Iran leaders know they can't do anything too serious with Iran or they will be sanctioned.

They can buy air defense citing their own sovereignty. They could have removed US troops, citing "independence". Iraq has been turned into a joke country with a glorified policeman force with small arms that poses as an army and a bunch of ragtag militias.

Just another Lebanon with a few cessnas to bomb insurgents, and APCs and Kalashnikov force, nothing else. No Air Force, No Air Defense. it doesn't even have to be integrated into Iran's stuff, just their own system would have been useful.

There is no sovereignty movement in that country since Saddam.

Trure, thats why we need o rush in if Iranian regime faces collapse.

100% assure you Iran would do the same to us if it had the chance

Pakistani pilots are indeed highly skilled

but even Pakistani pilots won't achieve anything in 50 year old F-14 and F-4 jets against Israel's F-35s

Why did the Iranians not buy the latest jets from Russia on urgent basis and S400 could have neutralised those Israeli strikes at it's sensitive locations.

Iran, in my opinion, needs to counter attack.

Otherwise Israeli will start pounding on Iranian AFBs, missile sites, bunkers until Iran has no capacity to strike.

Why no one is talking about radiation leak ?

How Did Israel Attack Iran with 200 Fighter Jets?

The aerial distance between Israel and Iran’s capital Tehran is at least 1,700 to 1,800 kilometers. For such a long-range mission with a return flight, Israeli aircraft would definitely require aerial refueling, especially when carrying heavy bombs.

Israel possesses only 7 to 8 KC‑707 “Re’em” Boeing refueling aircraft, which can provide fuel to a limited number of fighter jets. For a fleet of nearly 100 aircraft, this capability is clearly insufficient, indicating that Israel must have received external assistance for this operation.

The United States has explicitly stated that it did not provide any logistical or refueling support for this attack. This leaves only one possibility: Israeli aircraft likely made temporary landings at an airbase in a nearby country to refuel before returning. The question remains — which country between Iran and Israel facilitated this attack? In today’s era of satellite surveillance, such matters cannot remain hidden.

Another crucial point is that Israeli aircraft would have had to pass through the airspace of Jordan, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, or Gulf states to attack Iran. The movement of such a large, heavily armed aerial fleet cannot be ignored by radar systems. Yet, surprisingly:

No country issued an air defense alert
No country protested the Israeli airspace violation
No aircraft were scrambled to intercept the Israeli jets

This silence is not accidental but indicates a “pre-arranged consent.” It proves that several Middle Eastern rulers were aware of and quietly complicit in the Israeli attack.

On the surface, this attack appears to showcase Israeli military prowess, but in reality, it also serves as a warning to those countries that are silently aligning with Israeli objectives today.


So Muslims betrayed Muslims

they tried to kick out the US troops for a long time but Trump threatened sanctions like they have never seen before and it didn't happen

Iraq did try to buy some Russian air defences but it didn't happen

For the first time, I'm really worried for Iran as a nation state. I pray Iran has something up it's sleeve that would shock Zion and it's backers.

What's worse is that, my worries extend to Pakistan. If a new Government is installed in Iran which is pro-Western, then our Balochistan will be at huge risk.

The network of proxies Iran had in Syria and Lebanon was clever and it was working in their favour. But once Israel waged war against Hamas and blew pagers in Lebanon killing their leadership and Asad fleeing to Russia, the balance of power shifted towards Israel and to be honest all this wouldn't have happened without the support of U.S, Arabs and Turks.

It's obvious all these countries have their own plans and want to build a new Middle East in cooperation.

Iranians have to reflect on their mistakes. Before those proxies fell they could have used that time to build their own defence and upgrade their military capabilities and they had decades to do it. Rather than negotiating deals and allowing inspections on its nuclear facilities, they could have had S-400s, Su-35, JF-17, J-10 etc today and maybe the bomb. Its quiet simple. You either build the bomb or you don't. There is no middle ground.

Why no one is talking about radiation leak ?

there is no radiation leak outside the Natanz facility and the inside can be sanitised so it's not a major issue

 

[hyperman]

They have been under heavy sanctions - can you blame them?

What do US sanctions have to do with Russian AWACs purchases.

North Korea has an AWACS.

When North Korea has shit, I don't wanna ever hear the word "sanctions" again.

Unfortunately, with each passing hour, it becomes increasingly clear that Iran’s military leadership is crippled — possibly beyond repair.

Iran still possesses credible military assets and the means to retaliate, but the real crisis lies in the absence of leadership. It’s looking more and more likely that Iran has lost its sovereignty.

This is a critical test for the Iranian nation — a moment to stand up, regroup, and launch a decisive counterattack to reassert its sovereignty and control over its own destiny
