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

[TsAr]

Can't say much unfortunately....my old man flies fighters there. I only focus about his safety and some of the people there. At work here in the US....all the former veteran fighter pilots (US plus 1 Dane)...oppose this war

Your dad still flies? Will pray for his safety

US oil reserves are set to decline by ~41% to their lowest levels since the 1980s after the US announced a 172 million barrel release

At this rate with Mojtaba appointed India is probably gone from doing business in Iran after all they did in the span of not even two weeks

WTF are you talking about? What makes you think the crew wasn't wearing parachutes?

The crew wore chutes until 2008 the practice was discontinued since the KC-135 is not designed for safe emergency evacuation using a parachute. One of the pitfalls of converting a passenger jet for military use.

Which is why I mentioned, I hope it is true.

You don't have to convince me anything, I will do my own conclusion and judge from there.

I will suggest you base your conclusion on facts. Something which seems to be lacking throughout a good part of this thread.

Considering the amount of fake news and AI slop that has been plowed into this thread, you are a fine one to be talking.

I'll put my ability to research and provide facts against pretty much everyone here. So far, most of you seem content with AI slop.

Before attacking users, use that “ability to research and provide facts” to google “do KC-135s have parachutes” to find press releases. Nothing to do with “AI slop” at all. Fog of war happens. Basic facts do not fall under fog of war.

You simply spoke without research and in a hostile manner that was uncalled for.

I know that now. I still have reason to see the tanker driver. Missed him the last time he was home.

And for that, I will consider an apology. Still, given some of what's been posted in this thread, any insult I may have posted pales to some of y'all.

I have a theory : IRGC is not seriously targeting USN ships to control the escalation ladder now, but if the US attempts a ground invasion or Amphibious Landing on Iran's coasts to open the Hormuz Strait, then the "gloves are off", I think.

Clashes between a ship affiliated with the Iranian Navy and an American ship off the Arabian Sea


Waiting for confirmation from other sources, not sure what it could be given Iranian Navy was destroyed in the early days of the war.

I've seen similar to #1 over Ft. Huachuca on several occasions as well as out over the Barry Goldwater Range.
