I hope you realize the potential magnitude of what you're suggesting and the subsequent repercussions that the civilians of Lebanon would be forced to endure if Hezbollah succeeded in a meaningful attack against Israel?
It would give the Israeli government all the "ammunition" they need to...
I genuinely hope that a peace deal can be negotiated during talks this week. I'm genuinely concerned about the people of Lebanon. I've got some fantastic Lebanese friends with many family members still living back in Lebanon... I fear that Hezbollah's inevitable retaliation against Israel (fully...
I think that Israel 🇮🇱 and it's regional / international allies have to prepare for large barrages of incoming missiles and rockets, especially those directed towards its major cities, ports, infrastructure and military facilities. I think you'll see them be cautious about they choose to...
Lol what are you talking about?
F-16s aren't even close to being useless. They're simply not going to be used to try to get in air-to-air battles with Russian SU-30s, SU-34s, SU-35s, especially not when they only have 6-10 jets (and a similar number of pilots) in their current arsenal...
New military aid package from USA 🇺🇸 has been announced. The total value of the package is $125 million usd and will come from the PDA pool of funding. The package consists of the following:
- Multi mission radars
- HMMWVs (ambulance variation)
- Stinger air defense missiles
- ATACMS / GMLRS...
Something tells me that behind the scenes Iran is being much more nuanced in their negotiations. They want nothing to do with a direct war against Israel backed by U.S. naval and air power. It's not good for anyone... Sadly, Lebanon will be absolutely devastated as Hezbollah will be the primary...
During the night the Russians sent a column of 13 military trucks (Ural and Kamaz) full of Infantry to try to stop the Ukrainian advancement in Kursk. Ukraine located the column and shredded it with M30A1 HIMARS rockets. Dozens of dead infantry are visible in the footage. It's obvious that they...
On October 7th Gazans (including children) celebrated kidnappings and hostage taking as HAMAS returned from their mission. I didn't claim that they cheered on rape. They cheered men, women and children being forcibly taken from Israel as hostages, to be used as bargaining chips in war.
Again...
Nobody (at least in this thread) is refuting Israel's participation in deplorable acts. They're not some uniquely benevolent nation that does everything the "right way". They've got bad actors in their country, as do we all.
This weird game of trying to paint the Israelis and / or the...
USA 🇺🇸 Navy has sent 12 F-18 Super Hornets from Strike Fighter Squadron 25 of the USS Roosevelt to an undisclosed base in the Middle East, from which they can support Israel if tensions erupt. Along with the F-18s is an E-2D Hawkeye AWACS aircraft and an E-2D Hawkeye refueling aircraft.
USA 🇺🇸...
In the wake of Ukraine penetrating more than 30 kms into Kursk Oblast, they have now struck the Russian Air Force Base in the city of Lipetsk, using a barrage of long range drones. The ammunition storage facility at the base was struck, causing a significant detonation. Apparently secondary...
Israel 🇮🇱 continues to be effective from the air using both conventional aviation and drones.
In this video they use either Hellfire or APKWS (Hydra-70) rockets to hunt HAMAS in Jenin.
In this video an air launched weapon (likely a JDAM) is used to destroy an ammunition storage site used by...
That's objectively not true. They partied in the streets of Gaza in BROAD DAYLIGHT when members of HAMAS returned from Israel with men, women and children as hostages that were meant to be used as bargaining chips in war. A deplorable act that we have video footage of hundreds (if not...
There are people who rape, murder, commit acts of cowardice and war crimes in every country, region, culture, race, religion, military group, etc... Those acts are not unique to any one group and there are no groups immune to those actions from individuals.
Since the beginning of conflict there...
This is when I wish Western politicians were more committed to Russia's defeat in Ukraine. The Ukrainians are in the process of mobilizing approximately 400,000 new troops to bolster their existing military and replenish the high levels of attrition that they have faced. Meanwhile, Russia's 2024...
This push into Kursk Oblast by Ukraine is extremely smart. Russia's summer offensive is dying out in all sectors with the exception of the push to Pokrovsk, which has proven to be extremely bloody and is chewing up Russian equipment at an alarming rate.
By Ukraine pouring an estimated...
Lol I've been saying this very thread for months. Ukraine would be using their F-16s to fly top cover over their cities, tasked with intercepting Russian drones and cruise missiles. AIM-120B/C and AIM-9M are more than capable of completing said task, as has been proven by firing the same...
U.S. CVNs actually have the capacity to carry up to 130'ish F-18 Super Bugs simultaneously. They can keep their standard air wing in the fight, but they can absolutely be used as recovery platforms for naval strike aircraft that are launched from elsewhere. You could easily see a scenario in...
