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

[mulj]

The main reason that the establishment does not severe ties with those countries is that
1. Many young Iranians want to immigrate to those countries, specially for education, and it will piss them off,
2. The regime itself has too many close family members in those countries.

Other than that, for the life of me, I don't understand what good having ties with these useless Eurotrash does for us.

Beside climate to move away from heat europe is less and less apealling place for living beside few microstates.

this was an industrial accident in I believe China, saw that video years ago

Not really. The voices inside are speaking English, not Chinese.

Getting completely into the Chinese bloc comes with its own advantages.

Oil sales would be taken care of. Besides, India needs Iran more than Iran needs India.

Yep, they need two or three suppliesr at least to play bargaining games.

If you launch 100 drones costing tens of thousands of dollars each and only 1 or 2 reach their target, it's clearly less efficient than missiles.
IRI focus on ballistic missiles with fewer drone launches seems like a rational tactic.
It would have been even better if there were cheap long range drones solely for decoy purposes.

Given the opponent is airforce dependent, the drones soak up combat flying hours to counter the drones and while they are doing that, the jets cannot attack you. A mission to defeat a drone costs more than the drone by a lot. It is a military calculation at the end of the day.

Haifa was already attacked, pipeline and storage.

Israel uses average 250K barrels of oil per day, of which 220K comes in via Haifa. Few more targeted hits on it will quickly put it out of use.

I follow the above as one of my go to sources of what's happening in Ukraine conflict

The channel also speaks about iran-israel conflict and the news he says China has begun supplying weapons to Iran, he mentions A.D
He also mentions Pakistan -india conflict and how Pakistan was successful in shooting down Indian planes
Other sources are saying Pakistan and China are supporting Iran

Israel just announced strikes are taking place on Iran right now

No aircraft is useless against a F-35. A pilot operating a thousand miles from base wants to drop his load and go. He hasn't got the fuel for a dogfight with any aircraft, which will be disruptive to his mission. And it is also the radar/BVR capability of an aircraft. Pakistans most capable aircraft for a long time were re-furbished Mirage lll aircraft suitably upgraded.

The Syrian air force kept the Israeli air force at bay for years with Mig-29's.

Honestly too late and too impractical for Iran to develop a fighter aircraft system. Bringing Pakistan into this discussion would not be good comparison at all because Pakistan-India rivalry is old where the Pakistan Air Force has groomed itself over the decades to fight India and really created a topmost class ecosystem of integrated air defense and offense with considerable Chinese help. Some videos by the Indian analyst Pravin Swaheny should help understand what I am saying.
Iran will be a huge wasting money on fighter jets. If they even manage to fly then would be shot down but most would be neutralized before even flying. Better invest in potent air defense systems and surface to surface missiles to target Israel.

Really bad news coming out of Iran:

Shiraz Electronics Industries, which produces nearly all radar systems in Iran, was destroyed by Israel

The infrastructure can be rebuilt. People are still ok, so short term impact.
