What exactly were they trying to do the last 5 weeks ?

It’s curious that Israel is running out before the Arabs. I thought the roles would reversed.

I’m actually surprised the Arabs held out as long as they did.

Patriots used to intercept SRBMs are cheaper and are produced in much higher numbers(low thousands compared to low hundreds per year for Arrrow 3/THAAD/SM-3 combined).

Arabs are going to run out soon but maybe can last 2-3 more weeks, whereas Zio-US is already at depletion level for Arrow-3 and not that far off for THAAD.

Looks like the goal has been Haifa - energy facilities?

Zionist official: Iran's new systems intercept the target as soon as it is identified

A senior official of Israel's Ministry of War told the Wall Street Journal that Iran has deployed a complex network of multi-spectral cameras to track and identify American and Israeli aircraft.

My thinking is they will hit the nuclear power plant to cause radiation fall out to make costal defense harder. Russians have all but left. A meltdown would irradiate large parts of Iranian coastline and Islands

I'm not a nuclear engineer but I assume that will send fallout over the waterway as well. Oil tankers aren't nbc protected as far as I know. How many crews will want to sail across that? Especially after Barakah melts down in retaliatory attacks?

️ The Lebanese Ministry of Health reports that since 2 March, 1,422 people have been killed and 4,294 injured in US-backed Israeli attacks on the country.

Yes there was talk especially after June 2025 war of Iran converting radar guided MRSAM systems to electro-optical guidance to ensure higher survivability.

There was a rumor back in June war mostly told by Col Douglas Mcregregors that F35 were locked, it was made fun obviously.

Interception rate is falling rapidly over last few days.

It seems like US is now using SM-3 to only try intercepts on the most critical targets.

Arrow-3 and maybe THAAD are now almost exhausted.

Don't they use those to defend Kürecik station and İncirlik Airbase?

I really don't think that the US and Israel have run out of interceptors yet. From the very first day of planning this operation, it was clear that Iran would launch at least 1500 missiles along with thousands of drones.

I think they are managing the interceptors carefully because they are unsure about how long this war will last.

There are indications from Washington that they are quite taken aback by Iran's hardened position and determination.

Never underestimate your enemy’s will to fight and survive.

The US plan is to turn Iran into a failed state . They are not even trying to hide it

Buildings can be be rebuild! State cannot fail unless their faith and will collapses which certainly is not the case with Iran as we are witnessing.

Iranian air defense is really improving as Iranian officials confirm and their latest performance in the field shows.






️Iran’s Joint Air Defense Headquarters commander, Brig. Gen. Alireza Elhami, said that Iran is now capable of intercepting and “hunting” advanced enemy aircraft, including fifth-generation fighter jets and drones, using domestically developed methods and systems.

He stated that during the Ramadan War, Iran’s air defenses shot down several advanced enemy aircraft and more than 160 drones, including MQ-9, Hermes, and other models, as well as dozens of cruise missiles, intercepting them before they could carry out attacks.

Elhami added that multiple fourth and fifth-generation fighter jets were targeted, damaged, or downed by Iranian Army and IRGC air defense units, attributing this to new tactics, indigenous systems, and operational innovations that have disrupted and confused the enemy.

They have been carefully avoiding targeting energy systems. That is what the latest message seems to be about - more permissive targeting.

US - ISRAEL past 5 weeks: Drown alone is silly; drown together, truly.
