Interceptor debris again.

Another BM was intercepted over Turkey today, debris fell to Antep.

I disagree; firstly piece mentions nothing. And apart from what any politician or gov appointed bureaucrat says, Indonesia and Turkey signed what is basically an enlarged MoU; not a direct sale. Turkey promised to deliver an ITAR-free aircraft matching Indonesian needs within 120 months, and...

You have schools in UK inside army bases. It's the middle of the city. We have army HQs close to schools. Incirlik has an inbase school for American soldiers' children.

We don't really know the details, type certification is different than the engine certification. TS1400 have been going its own certification process for the last 2 or so years. These are long arduous processes.

First 2 is ai slop; 3rd doesn't add anything new. We've known from the beginning that Kaan sale to Indonesia hangs on the aircraft being ITAR free; only known component that's under is the engines. We've heard from officials that the aircraft will be delivered to Indonesia with TF35000 from the...

There's not one single proof that any Chinese GBAD was bought and deployed by Iran. They were all just claims. None of the strike footage so far show any Chinese GBAD.

They provided rhetorical support, as well as token financial. They also invaded the border for a few hours during 2020 war while Armenians were retreating to stop Azerbaijanis chasing. Between the two wars they allowed Indian shipments of weapons to pass through their territory as well.

Eh, unlike other systems like mortars, BM launchers etc in the city which are targets; GBAD is defensive in nature. This video should be close to an army facility in the capital, or was it the shin bet HQ; unsure. HQs are in cities, it's normal, expected. Cost of war for both sides. That girls...

That is from last year. - They do not really announce casualties. Iron Dome is pretty autonomous; don't need to have soldiers close by during launch. Who knows where the command center of the battery is.

10 minutes from identification to interception. Total flight time was probably about 11 minutes.

Southern Cypriots said it was from Lebanon. - Azerbaijan released a notam closing the southern part of its FIR for "ops reasons".

Why would Pakistan attack Israel? Countries and governments be it democratic, autocratic or theocratic first care about their wellbeings, then their people's wellbeings. Israel is not a threat to Pakistan; it's barely on its periphery.

Meh. They did try hard to have peace with US before, during and after the hostage crisis, even after Lebanon. This is also multifaceted. They never pressed the button on going the last mile for nukes for 2 decades. Counter-revolutionary events are hardly religion specific. But it didn't...

Drones struck near Nakhchivan airport in Azerbaijan.

Yup totally forgot about my staging. It is the booster. Unsure about the Iranian one being a booster however, at least 700kms after possible launch site? A bit late, no?

For one we don't know if only a single interceptor was launched or any other details of the engagement at this stage. We don't actually even know if only one BM was launched. Me approving something doesn't matter, it just is. This is the "RoE" in peacetimes like these. During national...

No. All air defence systems and early warning radars in Turkey(except the nonoperational S400 battery in Mürted) operate under the BHHM/CAOC Torrejon which answers to Ramstein at the moment. There's a subunit in Eskişehir at 1st AJÜ and all information goes through there, allowing Turkey full...

China is disinterested in keeping anyone in check outside of their neighbourhood. Doubt it, link me.

Doesn't really matter the class. Target was barely a corvette, more than likely they had no idea they were being watched and more than likely they were completely clueless until the last moment. Sad really. If Iran wasn't such a pariah, a barely combatant vessel being struck in a busy shipping...
