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

Mod Note: No Insulting service personnel!
Sorry, I didn't get that.

Which service personnel? Are we not allowed to insult the child killers who brutally murdered tens of thousands of children in Gaza and over 150 children aged 7-12 by bombing an elementary school in Iran?

And now the Epstein coalition is murdering innocent civilians in Lebanon? Aren't we allowed to insult them?
 
Am I missing something but why use an intermediate missile to target UAE when better to just target with 6-8 SRBMs?

Is it as the K-4 is almost impossible to intercept?

Maybe because of the size of the warhead.
 
I think Iran doesn't want to ship American warships

because it could back fire and American public support for expansion of the war could trigger a wider war against iran

so Iran needs to be careful

Forum policy is going forward no insult to any service personnel lost in combat, be they Iranian, US, Pakistani, Indian. This is an agreement made by Admin - any issues please take it up at GHQ section.

Thank you.
 
In a contested or dominated airspace you cannot continiously track enemy planes by active radars. You can get snapshot pictures only by active radars or you need to use passive radars or iir sensors for continious coverage. Not sams but anti air drones would be the key for future high altitude defense.

Iran has Karrar drones converted to carry a2a missiles that can be reusable by parachute landing. Actually you dont need 1000km ranged drone. Altitude to reach 12-15km is the key requirement along with the ability to carry a short range a2a missile and onboard iir camera to track enemy planes.

So a smaller version of Karrar that can carry a2a and reach those altitudes of 12-15km would be a huge threat against enemy aircraft. Also karrar has engine at the upper part of fuselage. It is exposed to enemy aircraft radars looking from above from 15km altitude. So it has somewhat high rcs in air to air engagements. Jet engine below the fuselage would hide it from enemy radars reducing the rcs of anti air drone. In that case a2a missiles needs to be carried at the wing tips or sides of the body though.

Karrar anti air drone:

Jet engine below fuselage example:
 
That will be this one:

It was in friendly territory when I tracked it and it issued a general emergency. So Hostile fire is 100% out of the question as it was burning fuel to initiate an emergency landing.

The aircraft was 62 years old and had been flying daily sorties since arriving in Tel Aviv on the 6th of March.

If a KC135 went down and another declared emergency, it suggests some sort of buddy aerial refuelling to transfer fuel that went wrong?
