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

[PakSword]

Few advantages the the US had:

1 - complete air superiority
2 - precise location of the pilot
3 - lack of enemy's ability to mobilize quickly

Knowledge of the precise location when you know that there's no Air Force left of the enemy is in itself such a huge advantage that you can search for the landing sites around the area, plan the full operation with the full knowledge of terrain with the help of advanced satellites and continuously bomb from above the surroundings to keep the enemy engaged.

Iran only had an upper hand in the missile and drone technology. My question is that why Iran didn't fire missiles when she knew there are no air defences to protect the US commandos?

Supporting failures of Iran blindly will help no one. Iran had plenty of time to capture the pilot(s) when the location of downed aircraft was known.

we can just hope tht rectify their mistake next time!

 

[Master Chief]

How do we know that the A-10 that was shot down wasn't due to a Manpad?

Fair point. But much more needed. That occurred yesterday and it seems Iran had certain vectors covered either by MANPAD or something else. The Americans chose a different entry point and succeeded.

Like I say, Iran isn't far off. Just plug these significant gaps in the network.

What second "pilot"? Was some else extra shot down ???

ie "in addition to a successful rescue of another brave pilot yesterday"

We know about 2 lost A-10s, a possible F16CJ and this F15 ..

The entire Iranian ground force will be kabab in hrs...They are kind of fresh meat in front of USAs firepower.

Iran's luck is good that gulf countries haven't decided to flatten Iran yet even though Iran attacked em several times.

Gulf can't flatten for crap. They would be hit with missile after missile...

They don't have the complete air superioty bro.
That happened only bcz of Iran,s incompetence when it came to quickly mobilize forces. It was easy to shoot down slow moving rescue aircrafts and helicopters using shoulder missiles Russia has provided them.

Irans luck is good that gulf countries haven't decided to flatten u yet even though u attacked em several times.

That remains to be seen. That can ONLY be claimed after a month of combat on the ground. Even then, once guerilla warfare tactics take over, the americans will get decimated in a way that has never been seen before.

The gulf countries even combined, CANNOT mess with Iran. If they did, they would be PERMANENTLY damaged in a way that they can NEVER recover from.

Hard to believe, but Assad had one of the densest air defense networks for an Arab country. He lost it over time due to civil war and defections and Israeli strikes after his forces had to retreat.

Syrian AD was lost when all the officers went home, not because they were defeated in active use...

 

[Yasser76]

All these aircraft listed the US has a crap load in reserve I'm not saying you're coping but your post is very exaggerated. US military puts a very high value for their men and woman and will go to great extremes even losing equipment by the $millions if it means bringing him back safely.

That is not the point. I may have $1 Million in the bank, if I lose $50,000 it will still hurt me, and a lot of the kit lost is not in production anymore

 

[hussain0216]

True. Using sports analogy, the US military have been the 'Visitor' team since the end of WW II. Unfortunately, the US military as a 'Visitor' is NOT what you want. Desert Shield/Storm, to date, is the only transhemispheric power projection by any military.

Iraq had no real way to target allied forces

The U.S and allies had MONTHS and years to build up hundreds of thousands of forces, tank, equipment, establish provision lines etc etc

Most countries are like that in the world, they are weak with major issues

But you do the same thing you did against those countries against countries like China, Russia, India, Pakistan, Iran, Turkey, France, Egypt, UK for example

Bigger countries, more weapons, more assets

That's why their is now a existential crisis, created by irans blockade of the Hormuz and the clock is ticking and Iran can use that to build pressure, punish the world and get it's demands met


Your military KNEW THIS

It was your slavish bowing to the Zionists that trapped you

If Iran had actual air force, they could have zoned their rescue teams approach...Arial recon could have revel pilots position using thermal instrument.

Iran's sky is naked...Iran is in even worse position than Iraq was.

I was wondering why Iran isn't even surrendering, is it due to Persian arrogance. But in a war like this against last boss and his right hand u have to be well prepared.

 

[ShapurII]

The IRGC is in talks with even more countries about passing through the Strait of Hormuz.

It seems that our blockade of the straight is slowly becoming ineffective.

Sure, we will earn money this way, but I thought the whole purpose of this block was to cripple the world economy and force the US to stop the war.

 

[Persian Gulf]

Then they will feel the full might of Iranian ground forces.

What ground forces?

 

[Kyussis]

This was 40km from Isfahan, their 2nd second largest city and home to their largest nuclear facility. If American forces managed to land on the ground, rescue their pilot, wait for another rescue plane to land and then evacuate all without a single casualty how are they going to stop a ground invasion?

How are they going to "invade" Iran if every farmer with a rifle is going to be taking shots at you? This episode proved that there be no flowers for U.S occupiers in Iran.

 

[SecularNationalist]

Well it's obvious this conflict is escalating and there will be more US jets shot down in the coming days. I believe Iran is a quick learner and next time they will be more prepared and that means US pilots will be captured or killed and rescue planes will be shot down.
