US-Iran standoff 2019- #2

They make all the parts needed for even older F-4s to keep them in the air, & could do the same if it was worth having more modern F-16s in their AF (1 example is allegedly in their posession), as discussed earlier on another thread.

Unfortunately, that's true. Zionist tentacles are all over DC, even other countries. Haley and Lindsay Graham are among the worst.

Does the Russian Military fear the B-1?

The B-1B is the equivalent of the Tu-22M3... does the US fear the Backfire?

Does the US have a better air defence network that Russia does?

They will of course respect it... but MiG-31s with R-37Ms will eat them for breakfast... the B-1s based in Norway will likely never get off the ground because of Iskander strikes destroying the runways.

The sole fact that those F-14S are airborne, after those 50 years, is mindblowing.

One of the things driving the replacement of the F-14 by the F-18 was that the F-14 was too expensive to operate and maintain... and that is the more sophisticated D model Tomcat... not the older A model Tomcat the Iranians have.

Irans ability to keep those aircraft flying is astounding... a country like Germany or the UK probably couldn't do it without US assistance, but Iran... under western sanctions managed to keep them working is something you would put not just put on your CV... you would put it on sheets of paper and put it on walls and telephone poles near where you live.

I am biased but I would like to see them get the production licence to make MiG-35s and MiG-29Ms... and for them to then produce those aircraft for the countries that the US has screwed over with F-16s like Turkey and Venezuela and Pakistan... and eventually when it wakes up from the American nightmare, Argentina.

That new guy they have seems to be a Zelensky Trump type guy... you vote them in because they talk peace and better relations with the Russians and ending wars and bringing US soldiers home from places America does not need to bleed in, and then when they get into office it is sanctions on Russia and more wars...

Used to be called shell shock before the posh names

The U.S. Department of Defense has announced that since the October 7th Massacre by Hamas in Southern Israel, Attacks by Iranian-Backed Groups against U.S. Forces in Eastern Syria and Iraq have caused at least 186 American Casualties with 130 of those Labeled as Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs).

The first rifle I ever bought was a 1944 Mosin carbine and being rather green I took it out to a friends farm up on the side of a hill overlooking a large flat plain.

I remember the first shot... into a tree... the shockwave from the muzzle blast was a shock... the ringing in the ears and the roar of the blast rolling out over the plain.

The muzzle flash was about the size of a 2 litre bottle and was bright orange in the evening light.

Can't imagine what the impact of supersonic missiles with large explosive payloads would be like to experience.

Ironically these days officials would be forced to take this seriously but back in the day they were often considered cowards who were just faking it to get out of their duty.

War really is hell... not everyone is cut out to kill people, and you can't man up or toughen up when  you are broken like that... that is not how mental health works.

Is it wrong of men to not be so upset about these injuries to Americans... when was the last time America worried about the similar or worse injuries they were inflicting on others to force their way on something?

Of course that doesn't make it right.

The current losses by the Americans /British / Israelis , in terms of human losses or financial or diplomatic are all in the short term , bearable and sustainable . There is little or no political opposition by Americans or Europeans to wars and their participation . The axis forces and Palestinians alone at present , seem unable to either expel Americans from their bases or stop genocide against Palestinians . A projection of current trend , would mean an expansion of their bases in the ME , expulsion of more  Palestinians from their homes and  further siege and bombing of Yemen . The medium to long term future , will no doubt be different to what we see today .

The explosion was caused by a storm and heavy Rain  , causing explosion : The Tehran mayor has banned Rain from falling in sensitive areas   to protect pipelines .







Small UAV or terrorist ( small terrorist ) can not destroy this . So cover the pipes with soil . Missiles with big warheads more easily intercepted by AD . Why not attack the refinery ? Perhaps better defences and AD ? UAV attack should have been attempted , even with AD . But it was not .......because it was done by placing explosives by hand .
