Maintain decent air force is very expensive thing. But when its needed it can provide insane amount of firepower. Also air force is the only effective air defence.

The cost of long range ballistic missiles is comparable to cost of space vehicles. In fact Iranian Safir space launcher is a modified Shahab-3. Now lets see how many launches of Safir we had at all: 8 launches in 12 years. 4 of them failed. And you are trying to say that Iran has 100500 long...

1) You will need a ballistic missile per shelter. 2) 1100+ km range ballistic missiles are extremely expensive. Iran cant afford many of them. In fact no country can. Thats why without nuclear warheads they dont make much sense. 3) Solid fuel does not make a missile harder to intercept. 4)...

That's total nonsense. All Israeli planes are located in protected concrete shelters. Israel has Arrow-2 and Arrow-3 missile defence and number of long range ballistic missiles is very limited.

If you have 100 F-16s you can make easily 3,000 sorties in a month delivering some 6,000 tons of ammo. With 100 ballistic missiles u can only deliver 100 t. Plus with air force u can achieve air superiority, CAS, anti ship and so on. Israel spends on ballistic missiles very small amount...

Here is my concept of urban/asymmetric warfare tank: * 3 crew capsule protected from all sides with thick armor (not just front like in Russian Armata). * Armament in manless turret: 35-40-mm cannon with programmed explosion rounds (I chose this caliber for high elevation and no detonation...

According to former Armenian ambassador Mikael Minasyan Armenia lost 4750 soldiers: 2250 killed in morgue 1400 killed not delivered yet to morgue 1100 missing https://news.am/rus/news/613327.html These numbers look reliable to me. Anyway Armenian soldiers fought very well in these circumstances.

On IAF site no mention of maneuver kill. On 14th May 1981 an IAF Firebee was carrying out a photography flight above the Lebanon Valley. During the operation the Syrians launched a MiG-21 to bring down the 'photographer'. The MiG pilot approached the area of the UAV and suddenly stalled...

Old Israeli navy flagship (Saar 5) vs. new.

All radars and weapons systems will be installed in Israel. So it will take months before it becomes operational. But it will be very powerful ship for its size.

Here the most needed upgrades: 1) Improved sideskirts and ERA on turret sides. Cheap and effective upgrade. 2) BMS. Very important in modern battlefield to get information from UAVs avoid friendly fire etc. 3) HE-MP rounds similar to German DM-11 and Israeli M339. Important in modern asymmetric...

I rephrased saying "chemical weapons are poor man's atomic bomb". It does not mean that rich countries cant have chemical weapons. In act nuclear powers still had chemical weapon stocks. But it was not their prime weapon. Iran's air force is terribly weak for their country size. That's why they...

You claim that Israel is main reason Iran goes nuclear. But how u explain the fact that Iran fired ballistic missiles against Arab countries but never against Israel? The reason Iran is in Syria is same why it is in Iraq or Yemen: they want to export their Shia revolution all over and openly...

Iran used its ballistic missiles against Yemen. Iran used its ballistic missiles against Syria. Iran used its ballistic missiles against Saudi Arabia. Iran did not use its ballistic missile against Israel. Aleppo quarter wiped out by Iranian ballistic missile. Speaking about state sponsored...

OK seems it was wrong, but why you accuse me of lies? Lie is something done deliberately. And I just reposted information from pro-Iranian pro-Hezbollah journalist. Plus this video does not change anything anyway. Whats really matters is that Fakhrizadeh was a IRGC brigadier general and deputy...

Fake news. Ukraine has no chance against Russian army, which will surely intervene if things go bad for Russian minions.

Calm down. That's him. This is from well know pro Iran/Hezbollah journalist:

He was also an IRGC brigadier general and a deputy defence minister.

Probably they planned to hijack him but something went wrong.

That guy also took pics with Soleimani:
