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

[Bharatah]

Information from Brazilian specialists indicates that an A-10 crashed into the waters of the Strait of Hormuz.

Very strange….tanker losses must be more severe than the U.S. is admitting

 

[Kyussis]

Fair enough, never seen that pic before. I still lean towards it being used as a decoy over it being operational, especially if it was a museum piece.

It was a Decoy. That's what I'm saying!

How about starting with closure of GCC land/airspace for attacks on Iran?

All Jets emit heat and heat seeking , missiles seek heat . So it is no rocket science never believe western propaganda on f35 and f22.

Yes and IR guidance under certain conditions can detect and track “stealth” jets better than radar.

Lack of being hit by ARMs when using passive IR tracking is a massive bonus.

Every Reformist and Iranian dispora should realize this:

Zarif should be sent to the u.s. he isn't qualified to live in iran

 

[hasn2009]

we still see US bombers using stand off stealth JASSM cruise missiles

but these are expensive and they have used a very large number of them already, it's not sustainable

We will see increase in ballistic launches from Iran once standoff weapons are depleted because then Iranians will be safe to bring out the launchers.

Most incompetent President and 'Defense Secretary ' ever

Unbelievable - Iran can now shoot down most of these US planes weekly.

If they were war in 2010 or earlier instead of today, we wouldn't see many US planes crashes or damaged. What the heck happened to the US qualities including F-35A/B/C?

B52, B1 and B2 take less risky air corridors which are first cleared using F35+ F22 Raptors

trying to get a air ambush on those bombers is very much more difficult unfortunately

although I would like to see it happen

It is diffucult yes but possible. Until several weeks ago F35 was seen as undetectable and unstopable but now its shortcomings to EO/IIR are more evident with continious hits by Iran. Also the crazy guys at the top of usa management can make mistakes like claiming air superiority over the islands and sending B52s to bomb Qeshm or Kharg islands close to Iran which would make B52s vulnurable but yes it is less probable.

The most difficult one in the list you mentioned seems to be B2. VHF radars or fm transmitters of passive radars can interact-resonance with tails and smaller surfaces on F35s, F22s but since B2 is very large meter wavelength radars wont be enough and larger wavelenth means less mobility-more static radars which are easy targets for the enemy.

One option however is possible in my opinion at least for early warning showing general bearing of incoming bombers. Since B2 is large, flies high in the upper atmosphere and for a very long time because of air friction it creates an ionisation trail behind the aircraft. Certain long wavelength radars are reflected back better from this air ionisation trail and theoretically it can be detected. You cant guide a missile by getting rough direction of this ionisation trail but you can send an interceptor there. In case of Iran currently there is aircraft shortage but certain drones like Karrar can be used for interception as well.

At this rate, the USAF will look no better than the Russian air force if this war can prolong like the Ukrainian war.

This is complete embarrassment to the United States.
