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

[Sal12]

This is embarrassing that US was able to rescue both the pilots.

I misspoke earlier. I dont think the official story was stuck in mud, but stuck in sand. My bad.

But not buying it. Something is not adding up here.

So they got stuck in sand, had to destroy multiple air craft

Then road off on camels into the sunset???

 

[mangekyo]

Is this true?

 

[Shui]

This might give the orange man confidence to send in ground troops.

why! its a war you win some battles you lose some! overall picture matters!

odds are not in favour of Iran the military might of west vs Iran.30 odd days have raised alll our expectations and we expect Iran to win all the rounds but thats not happening...just hope and pray Iran wins the war!

It wil be a grave mistake. Commanders might not have dedicated troops to this due to being unsure of pilots status but now every force in Iran will mobilize if there's ground troops

Trump thinking in hollywood is his demise. Should learn from his servant modi about that experience

Is this true?

Helicopters were surely shot down.

They don’t get “stuck in mud”, right?

So further casualties likely?

 

[Master Chief]

200KM in Zargos mountains is not deep inside Iran. By such logic if Canada had a fighter jet get shot down 500KM inside Montana it would be “deep inside” the US.

The pilot had a satellite communication device and was in active communication with his rescue team. He had a distress beacon. He hid in a crevice in the mountains. The CIA activated its assets. Military satellites were overhead. Dozens of aircraft using thermal imaging looking for him. And bombing any Iranian convoy that got within 3 KM.

The hell you expect to happen? You act like the pilot fell in Tehran and hid inside a dumpster before escaping inside of an ice cream truck.

Iran had a 3-4 hour window after the crash to find a needle in a haystack before U.S. chain of command could mobilize and put a plan together. Intial pics of the crash was reported at 9:30 AM local time. 6 hours later they rescued the first pilot.

That’s impossible for Iran to react and find a person in that terrain before the Americans.

You're right. The failure was not in losing the pilot, but rather was in not exacting a heavy penalty on US assets during the search operation.

Let us now move on ... What's done is done. Iran needs to focus on hitting Israeli sites and prepare for ground invasions and raids

 

[Persian Gulf]

don't be surprised if Trump now authorises commando raids into IRGC-ASF SSM bases. if they can send hundreds of special forces 40km south of Esfahan without being detected for hours, they can already reach dozens of SSM bases easily.

They took down A10s helis and now supposedly a c130 and 1more heli should be better but that's not nothing.

Anyway Iran eeds to impose more heavy costs. Costs and targets which are irreplaceable

Let us hope IRGC is prepared

[Flotilla]

They landed several helicopters and large transport planes in this base, without being detected.

But if an C130 (or 2) were destroyed that means they were detected!.

Iran has the size of nearly half European union, it is impossible to control each square meter well inside the country.

Loosing two helicopters and a large C130 (maybe two) it is a phyrric victory and a clear warning that what would mean a land invasion even with small units.

I agree it is disappointing because every of us wanted this bastard alive repairing B1 bridge but nothing to blame iranian people. Their sheperd and villagers destroyed 3 or 4 aircrafts!!!!.

 

[Master Chief]

Hilariously true. So do not fret on the movies, they will eventually come regardless.

An X post below, beautifully explained as well.

All 3 assets close to one another, i.e. deliberately scuttled due to either being "stuck" or immobilised by some small arms militia fire or goodness knows maybe sand in a turbine. Nothing here suggests any sort of "shootdown" success.
