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

[Persian Gulf]

Israel claims Iran fired 200 missiles

50 were not intercepted because they did not impact important targets
and a 'small number' of missiles impacted important targets

so 60-70 impacts in total / 200 missiles. 30-35% is in line with TP2.

we only saw videos of maybe 10 impacts. so there is a very effective censorship...

Bro the F-35's came in unopposed. You need to understand Pakistan has got air war very right.

Irans fighting the main lieutenant of a super power waz….

No matter what AF Iran procures, it’s just not going to cut it.

IDF warplanes are launching dozens of aero ballistic missiles from stand off ranges.

As far as we know, so far only drones have penetrated Iranian defenses.

 

[Ali_Baba]

Iran has a golden opportunity punish the baby killing Zionists.

Iran needs to get control of its skies first... IDF has a level of freedom of operation that is worrisome.

 

[Aggregate]

Is the news true that supposedly, Iranian aircraft are evacuating to Pakistan?

Its not a bad strategy. Many countries do this in tough wars. Pakistan evacuated its important planes to Iran too, in 1965 & 1971. This is why you build such alliances with countries around you, to have strategic depth.

TP2 for the hundredth time

It's painful to watch Iran being bombed so easily because they don't have a proper airforce.

Its their own fault for not trying
What ever is happening to Iran because of their extreme incompetence like indians but thats good for us, i have sen what a shia extremist regime can do, we saw that in syria and iraq

But we gave them nuclear designs they went and sold us to americans

They had decades to build an Air Force with china and Russia help but they just ignored it

They arent serious about national defense its just fear mongering and false bravado..reminds me of indians but even to more extreme end


What they are good is throwing money to malitia and hiring shia all over the world to keep the proxy war

Mr Khamenei is and has been a war leader of Islamic republic of Iran.

he went to front lines to defend the country at border with Iraq during ~80s when so many of these so called "vatan parast" officers fled the country when we were at war with foreign country that has been supported both by so called east and the west .

Have faith if you want in him, but this lays on his head above all else.

Iran urgently requires air defense assistance from Russia. To adequately defend at least part of Tehran’s airspace, it needs a minimum of 5–6 LOMAD (Low to Medium Altitude Air Defense) and 3–4 HIMAD (High to Medium Altitude Air Defense) systems. Without this support, Iraninan regime is in grave danger , it doesnt matter how many BMs they have, they wont survive the massive onslaught. Russia, in turn, risks losing its last ally in the Middle East.

 

[Persian Gulf]

They will probably succeed if we can't deter them.
They will first bomb our ground forces, then the roads around those places.

IRGC special forces should be deployed throughout the facility, including inside Fordow itself.

Bhai I asked the same question to mr Shapur that what would you do with an AF?

Would you go up against the USAF or IDF F-35’s? Operating out of ABs they obviously sharing with the USAF in the Sy-Raaq?

How would you exactly shoot down aero ballistic missiles with your AF?

Knowing aero ballistic missiles have that typical bell curve trajectory at Mach-2/3 depending on the type.

These are important questions no?

Maybe you are right, it's easy to retrospectively say this should be there and this should not but obviously there are huge constraints for iran


My point, in general, is this whole conflict right now ...in the hot phase ....seems to be structured around a finite supply of Iranian missiles versus full spectrum Western attack


The reality seems to be that Iran can cause significant nuisance, missiles and trade and oil disruption, but it cannot inflict defeat, but also it can face a defeat itself

If that was the intended strategy and equation, anyone could have predicted the result 10 or 15 years ago ... no nukes no worries

 

[NationalistPKDude132]

After Iran is down, Balochistan in Pakistan is goodbye.

Why do you think that? we will bomb the crap out of BLA then

 

[Meengla]

Yes exactly this, but also I don't think China will actively take on Israel like this.... My suspicion is they are too cautious to actively and unnecessarily incite USA

If the recent NY Times article about how Trump wants to carve up the world into 'three spheres of influence' has merits then maybe China is given the overlordship in Asia and western Pacific, in which case America, via Israel, controls West Asia / Middle East up to the western border of Pakistan. Pakistan is not in the Middle East. Iran is. Not a bad situation for Pakistan.
It is just an speculation though.

If IR falls, next regime will be so anti-Russia it will make Ukraine blush.

Im getting same feeling like yesterday afternoon... iran regime change is indeed possible now.
