I mean, even two Type39B would cost around a billion $. China is the preferred option for our already existing logistical set up, and financially they can offer LoC if we were to make such big purchase. Also, geopolitically Chinese Subs for BN will maintain the balance w.r.t India.

None of this news sources are explicitly verifying that interceptions happened with the first stage fuel tanks. Of course Israeli AD intercepted most of the missiles, but it's definitely the warhead after separation. It is not correct to compare with fighter jets when those are intercepted in...

Does anyone around here uses reddit? I have been there for few months and it feels like it is killing my brain cells everytime I am there. First I thought I needed to adapt and adjust myself with absolute free speech, culturally speaking. But now I feel like it is just too toxic and idiotic...

@Gary is a bit different these days.🙂

It was more than excellent air defence system. Four air forces led by USAF, Israeli air force themselves and then 6 types of Air defence systems. Patriot, Devid's Sling, Arrow-2/3, Iron Dome, AEGIS ships.

@Kartal1 @Rodeo Famous Sprint. Randomly found it. Thought you may enjoy it.

We need four, preferably six state of art AIP boats by mid 2030s to develop credible deterrence. It is not feasible to match Indian's Navy's surface fleet even proportionally to our size.

The issue is, while there are vulnerable complexes, some of the main facilities are also buried deep at least 80 meters into the mountains. According the assesments I saw a while ago, Israeli jet simplely cannot carry heavy enough ammunition to penetrate that. That's is why it is imperative US...

SM-2 block IV and SM-6 are both somewhat terminal phase interceptors. Only SM-3 has mid course ABM which would have more practical utility in such defensive scenario. Gaza is land locked and Hezbollah is not intertwined with civilians population as densly as Hamas. Besides, Lebanon is large...

*USN ships shot down 3 Iranian BMs in this attack. *Only SM-3 and SM-6 from standard missiles family is able to shoot down BMs. People are forgetting in an all out war, Hezbollah (while taking serious casualties) would still launch tens of thousands rockets which would overwhelm the Israeli AD...

Yes, Western systems are stored and maintained better. But you are forgetting a good numbers of the old HARM failed miserablely in Ukraine. Artillery shells and unguided rockets are much more simple and not comparable. They don't have complex guidance electronics.

Nope, even US missiles and ammunition generally has a standard shelf life of 15-20 years. It's normal if 15-20 years old Iranian missiles fails at high rate. (But for now I am suspicious of the report)

@Kartal1 I mean, can't be totally sure but it looks like somebody dug a hole and left the soil beside.

Definitely not intercepted, that is first stage that fell after separation. There is no way, a hit to kill interception at high hypersonic speed would left the whole first stage intact like this. It would've smashed it into many pieces.

Here's a quick summery. So, now we know more than 300 projectiles were launched by Iran and its proxies from Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and Yemen. That includes 170 drones, 30 cruise missiles, and 120 'ballistic' missiles. US and Jordenian Air Forces shot down more than 100 of these drones and...

Sounds like exaggeration.

hundreds, 400/500 is a reasonable guesstimate IMO. Could be more though including old missiles. (Not very accurate) Keep in mind Hezbollah has a lot more that can reach Israel in an all out war. They have to be factored in. In fact, unlike iran thanks to advantage of proximity Hezbollah has...

I don't think they intended to inflict casualties and substatial damage. That would have gone out of control. To some extent, yes. But an actual kitchen sink response from Iran in an all out war would be hundred of BM not dozens. Also, we should not overlook the fact that, more 100 projectile...

I mean their exercise videos seems to correlate with their CEP claims. (I don't think these are fabricated) We will probably know more from the damage assessment, the extent of what happened in that airbase.

Nobody is dead, which mean they can end it here. Everyone wins.
