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

[OldTwilight]

Why would russia help Iran against israel? Iranians are Brown/Olive-skinned Muslims whereas israelis are white european jews many of whom have their origins in russia, both of whom are white europeans. That is the reality. China would bea far better ally of Iran.

They don't want to help us, we signed a contract from 3 years ago about joint production of Su-35 , they just have to honor their own contract ...

As Putin said, they even offer joint production of AD system to us, we simply reject their offers ...

They are arms sellers, and after the west sanction we are one of few customers they have.

We are one of last chance Russia has to sell their 4.5th gen fighter.

Israel always uses the "terrorist" label for those who resist it to deflect the fact that Israel itself was born out of Zionist Terrorism! Israel was the original "ISIS".

Yes... Irgun and Lehi (and others) were all overtly terrorist Jewish militias which formed the IDF and were then 'legitimised'...

He has flown to Beijing before I think on the Chammae-1, also flew to Vietnam and Singapore. Idk, its theoretically possible to travel to Tehran via Russian airspace.

I'm not sure, but he definitely took train to Vietnam because that was in the news as to why he travels by train. Took him 2 days to get there.

Ngl that's weak in the grand scheme of things. It's not sustainable to win a war or for deterrence.

I believe Israel is going to start another campaign soon.

In the grand scheme of things, nothing has changed on both sides.
People in Iran do not even notice that there's been a war, even in Tehran. Everything is the same.

I bet it's easier to see the destruction of the war in Israel than in even a city of Iran like Tehran, due to the sheer size of Iran compared to Israel.

What was the extent of the damage at IDF bases? Did they lose any assets or it was just cratering the airfields

IDF censors all details and satellite imagery companies are not selling high resolution imagery of Israeli bases. so no one can tell for now.

So what is the reason they are not honoring this contract?

in Operation TP2 Iran fired c. 180 missiles simultaneously, i.e., using 180 launchers

do we really think Iran used every single missile launcher in the entire country during TP2? we know only 5 SSM bases were used for TP2. There are dozens of such bases (40+).... draw your own conclusions about the likely number of launchers!

@ShapurII

Israel showed evidence of hitting up to 33 launchers (+12 repeated footage)... that is a drop in the ocean and laughable that this could have any material impact on number of launchers, especially considering the biggest SSM bases were not even used (IRGC says not even one missile city was used)

Yes, that makes sense. Why do you think the IRGC did not try to saturate the coalition's air defenses using Shahed drones?

if anyone is interested, you can buy recent 2.5m resolution satellite imagery from Tel Nof for < $20

but 2.5m will not be incredible useful

Yeah, we need at least 1m resolution to be able to see anything at all. Preferably 25-50cm resolution.

Still hearing Fighter jets crossing over Karaj ... something is suspicious ...

Tabnak claims Iranian Mig-29s have been doing routine monitoring of our air space since yesterday, but take it with a grain of salt.
Maybe the rumors about J-10Cs are true? I know I sound foolishly optimistic, but is it possible?

We asked for assembly of customized version to Iran ... creatin assembly line, training Iranian technician take more time ... although there is news that they assembled 3 Su-35 in Iran but our AF decided to no unveil or use them due their low numbers

To receive and use new aircraft that quickly is unlikely.

 

[Kyussis]

Some sources claimed that up to 10 kits where delivered. Up to 4 had been assembled in Iran and where going through Flight tests by the time Israel attacked. Whether or not this is true is not known.

 

[Persian Gulf]

Yes, that makes sense. Why do you think the IRGC did not try to saturate the coalition's air defenses using Shahed drones?

I can only guess that they were not really prepared for this and they also lost access to most of their biggest SSM bases

but they did fire > 1000 drones apparently, but only 1 impacted in Israel

Yeah, we need at least 1m resolution to be able to see anything at all. Preferably 25-50cm resolution.

Agree, which is why I haven't bought the 2.5m resolution imagery. Funny how high res imagery of all Iranian sites is available immediately but the best we can get for Israeli sites is 2.5m!

 

[ShapurII]

Probably, but during 12 days. If they fired 1000 drones in a single day, it would've been absolutely different.

Well, it's their technology after all. What about Chinese companies? Are there Chinese or Russian companies that sell commercial photos?

Khayyam-1 satellite has 1m resolution. It's sad that Iran never publishes any satellite images.
