several direct hits in Israel today

one near the Hadera power plant (unclear if hit or not) and two in the south, including one in an abandoned air defence position in Negev

Well here you have it, this is why the UK has been so quiet about the current affair:

Present state of affairs for the UK MRAD:
9 launchers, so 2 batteries with 2 fire groups of 2 each. The additions, 15-16 launchers total gives the UK 4 batteries, with 2 fire groups of 2 launchers each.


The UK really is in no position to fight an offensive war at this point.

these idiots only realise they were played for fools after Iran is being destroyed by those they hoped would bring them freedom through bombs

France’s Finance Minister Roland Lescure says 30–40% of Persian Gulf refining capacity is damaged, causing an oil shortfall of 11 million barrels per day, hitting Asian markets hardest. In Qatar, 17% of gas production is destroyed, with full recovery taking around three years.

Aljazeera not only reporting the shooting if US plane but also mentioning the possibility of a new unknown system being used by Iran for these hits

Not even a single jet fighter has been shot down and not even a single pilot has been captured so far. This is embarrassing.

especially with them doing literal straffing runs

Iran hits USAF F-18 in south Iran



damage appears to be minor enough for plane to survive

that's not a missile no smoke trail. Probably anti-air artillery.

Well, that is an unfortunate side-effect, I suppose. An orderly implosion without international repercussions may be too much to wish for, methinks.

But maybe out of this chaos grows something much better, eh?

Not really. Takes decades to turn round an empire if not centuries - ask the Turks Brits etc. but as a great favourite member of the forum said - lets wait and see…….

depletion of US and Israeli missile interceptors after only 16 days (today is day 25)

- Arrow missiles are close to severe depletion
- David's Sling missiles are close to severe depletion
- Israeli THAAD missiles have 1-2 weeks left before facing severe depletion

we have seen more SM-3 interceptions recently as a result.

is this from reliable sources ? If it is, it's a significant downgrade from the initial proposals. Namely, points #5 and #7 implicitly hint at non-zero enrichment levels.
Other than that, #8 can be vague and open enough to interpretation that Iran can for instance claim hard caps beyond their current stated range of 2000Km for all types of MRBMs, factoring warhead size.

Do we have the source for this ? I'm curious, this is a real departure from the first alleged leaked readouts from this afternoon which were a catastrophic non-starter.

the US has burned through a large number of JASSMs and we hit a F-35 for the first time in history. as well as a large number of MALE drones. but other than that, our air defence has been extremely disappointing. we are facing two of the strongest air forces in the world whose entire military doctrine is air superiority, though.
