...... Ummm 20 year old weapons are used all the time in combat. It's about the storage, maintenance and upkeep state of those weapons. Podunk countries don't invest in that type of upkeep, therefore, they see large rates of failure. Non-podunk countries do invest in proper storage, maintenance...

If this is true, it is telegraphed in a way to give Iran time to prepare. Again, to show that Israel won't simply accept this, without blowing the entire region up in conflict. I'd be very surprised if an Israeli retaliatory strike featured anything more than limited, targeted strikes.

Thanks for sharing that HUD footage. Pretty cool stuff. The West makes some damn fine weapons platforms, with some awesome targeting capability.

If you read the bill, purpose of the money is pretty explicit. The overwhelming majority of the money is to enhance and re-supply Israel's air defense systems, further hardening the country from attacks the like of which we witnessed yesterday... And the reality is that said air defense network...

This is for the best IMO. 1. Israel 🇮🇱 got to smoke some IRGC baddies in Syria. 2. Iran 🇮🇷 got to respond and save face in the region among their allies. 3. Israel 🇮🇱 will likely get $14 Billion in additional military aid passed. 4. Ukraine 🇺🇦 will likely get $60 Billion in additional...

Andrew Perpetua's visually documented and geolocated losses for Russia and Ukraine, Saturday, April 13th.

The Israelis reported "minor" damage at the base. It is possible that nothing important at the facility was hit, but it's also possible that fairly significant damage was dealt.

I'm actually pumped about Iran retaliating because it's likely the catalyst that gets the U.S. supplemental aid package for Ukraine / Israel passed quickly. That means tens (if not hundreds) of thousands of Russian families that will send their loved ones to Ukraine and have their lives...

It was a pretty insignificant attack overall, basically orchestrated between the two countries so that Iran's population felt vindicated for Israel's strike two weeks ago.

I don't expect to see a major war either. A decent response might be mass cruise missiles strikes from the Persian Gulf, aimed at smashing much of Iran's oil exporting capacity along its southern coast, as well as international trading ports. Essentially, you send the message that if they want...

That would be juicy. I'd like to see to see a saturation attack vs Iranian air defense to see how it comparatively handles such an attack. A large scale ballistic / cruise missile strike on Tehran would be interesting. Just to see how well Iran's air defense holds up. Raining fire down on the...

So it's a little complicated, but this is how it all fits together. The U.S. has a supplemental aid package worth $95 Billion usd in the House of Representatives, waiting to be voted on (it already passed in the Senate). That package includes $11 Billion usd in military aid for Israel 🇮🇱 and...

Agreed. No way they intercepted 100. 20-30, with 10'ish impacting?... That I would believe. 100 seems silly. I'm sure they probably intercepted 90%+ of drones though.

All I care is that it's enough for USA 🇺🇸 to pass their $95 Billion usd defense supplemental and that countries like Britain 🇬🇧, Germany🇩🇪, France 🇫🇷, Italy 🇮🇹, Spain 🇪🇸, Canada 🇨🇦 and the Scandanavian countries get serious about passing additional meaningful aid and quickly committing to...

1 confirmed Israeli casualty so far. Has anyone heard anything different?

Hitting what?... That's the question. Big difference between hitting the Negev, or the outskirts of a city, vs hitting city centers or Israeli bases.

Definitely not drones!

You're right, but I suspect THAAD would only be used in an emergency type situation. Very, very expensive.

As expected, they'll counter in places like Syria... Per the plan.

Any idea where they were fired from? Just curious about the flight time, reference Israel's ability to intercept them with David's Sling and Patriot PAC-2...
