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

[Persian Gulf]

Iran FM claims Iran knew about the attack in advance and moved critical assets before the strike


Iran's space command claims 4 missiles were intercepted near Shahrud but 1 got through and hit a building, though key materials were removed in advance

Given that Israel attacked manufacturing sites, and not military sites, could Iran target sites that belong to companies like IAI, Elta, Rafael ? It would be the same as the type of targets that Israel targetted in Iran ?

they are military sites and those are the direct equivalent and should be the target, I agree

only problem is accuracy of Iranian MRBMs without reliable GNSS

 

[Shawnee]

that's a very serious blow

Parchin, Khojr, Shahrud, and 5 killed and unknown number of serious hits to AD systems

not quite as minimal a response as it seemed

It is major but it is a failed attack

Here Fabian says casting ( I have been saying likely solid fuel casting for 48 hours to @Immortals and you)
Not mixing sphere

Both low value structures. They hit empty over the ground assets.

It is a quadcopter attack again not a missile.

Will Iran retaliate?
Yes
The bus ramming today was part of it.

Did Iran show weakness?
Yes
To quadcopters

If this video is accurate / true - then it is an impressive performance. 18-19 interceptions, with only 2 getting through?

This would further reinforce the view that Israel did indeed try to launch a shock-and-awe type of operation on that night, but failed because Irans IADS blunted their first wave of attacks, so wave 2 and 3 were called off.

This would explain the glum look on Netanyahu's face in the bunker as they saw their attacks fizzle out.

These are some cheap rockets LoL
No way long range ballistic missiles travel so slow.

Ballistic missile booster production site in Shahrud hit and seriously damaged




A serious blow, this site is c. 1000km deep within Iran. An impressive and precise hit by Israel

this large building was fully destroyed, it's not a quadcopter

unless Israeli quadcopter are more powerful than Iranian hypersonic MRBM

Will this slow the casting process?

Was there 50 missiles exploding?

Strategic questions.

Let’s be fair

 

[tsunset]

K-4 should be enough to level a building completely

No idea why Iran never used K-4 with 1.5t warhead in TP1 and 2

Then the question begs that if the site is 1000km inside Iran and as allegedly Israel launched attack from Iraqi airspace, then what Air launched weapons they used to achieve this hit .

I cannot see in details in a low quality picture

I still see the shadow of the building. Integrity is preserved

Black hole should be 50 times bigger after secondary explosions

Every one in Shahrud would hear it.

Hangar is a fortified structure. This is a sheet of corrugated aluminum

Please talk about Iranian AD's performance against combined air assault by enemy AF.Not these isolated events of downing some drones.
Israeli Air Force successfully hit Iranian AD sites not one time but twice.
Its not like Iran was facing some kind of saturation attack,IAF fired no more than 4 ALBMs .

How do you know how many ALBMs were fired that night?

 

[jauk]

Hi,

The number is in 100's on the high side.

Ahhh. You’re a crystal ball ‘Muslim’. Any other heavenly proclamations you’d like to humor us with, ‘son’?

 

[Kyussis]

And I'm generally skeptical of western weapons as well, and don't think they're anywhere near as good as claimed. We've seen proof of that in Ukraine where some systems worked out, but most didn't.

Also, MANPADs shooting down low flying fighters and slow moving drones aren't the same as SAMs targeting multiple incoming bandits, which even you've eluded to in this post. Ukraine saw dozens of Russian fighters shot down by MANPADs, doesn't change anything.

So my point still stands.

There is a reason why Israeli fighters went back in one piece, without a single loss.

IAF went back in one piece because they did not get anywhere near Iranian IADS.

 

[Persian Gulf]

some claims that some Israeli jets entered Iranian airspace
