Sounds about on par with a middle eastern military "might"

Does anyone know for sure why Iran is choosing to attack random sites in otherwise neutral Arab states rather than concentrate its fire on American military installations? It seems like its just wasting its munitions on far too many different well-defended sites when it could have probably caused way more than three US casualties in Kuwait by just concentrating and salvoing fire.

I think it was mentioned by one of the remaining Iranian ministers that so much of the army's top brass got killed that individual units are working independently from one another.

Iranian pilot somehow got out of Iran with a MiG29UB and got to Kuwait. Defector?

Or just trying to get out of the line of fire. This has happened several times before in these sandbox wars - a bunch of Iraqi pilots fled with their MiGs/Sukhois to Iran during the '91 Gulf War, which is how the Iranians got a hold of most of their Soviet/Russian planes in the first place. And during the Libyan Civil War a Mirage F1 pilot flew all the way to Malta to seek asylum.

So Hezbollah decided to stick their noses in and get clapped, but what are the Houthis up to now?

Essentially, they have said "We support Iran, denounce the attacks on Iran and reserve the right to retaliate with Red Sea attacks when we decide to". AKA.... Please don't bomb us, we are just saying what our overlords would want.

Has today's bombings killed any major regime members? All I'm seeing on the wiki pages is from the 28th.

All the top brass got killed on the 28th, today was all about hitting military infrastructure. Israel is apparently doing decapitation strikes on Hezbollah's political and military wings.

If they're already having fighters go AWOL, they are fucked fucked. Once you lose your pilots, you might as well just suck-start a shotgun right then.

I mean, he had balls for going up in the air in the first place, given how the US and Israel have established total air superiority.

That looks like an f-15 of some variety, the MiG29 air intake is underneath the fuselage, in the video they're beside and beneath the cockpit a bit.

No, that's definitely a Fulcrum - wings and tail have a different angle and sweep than on an F-15, plus you can see the intakes underneath the fuselage.

Looks like Kuwait shot down an American F-15E.

They stuck the pilot in the trunk of their car and are taking him to get help

Bigger problem. It's a 2 seater plane. Where's the other pilot?

Optimistic, it looks like he bailed out from a stricken aircraft. It seems very silly to throw a nice 4th gen acrobatic fighter away like that trying to penetrate well defended enemy airspace without real support, especially when you doctrinally rely on ballistic missiles to achieve the exact same thing in a sustainable way.
Definitely a sign of shortsighted desperation to strike back, though. They'll need quite a few back home if they hope to destroy any US aircraft while defending.

Yeah, its a very gay name. Ironic and post ironic names suck.

WW 2 DOW knew how to do it. I might suggest something like Operation Scepter or Operation Longstride.

I have suggestions:
  • Operation Macarena (when it's Cuba or Mexico's turn)
  • Operation Lumber Mill (rearming Japan and authorizing them to fuck up the Norks and Chinese - iykyk)
  • Operation Snowjob (Greenland)
  • Operation Maple Autumn (Day of the Rake)

Sounds like someone is a Doubting Thomas. Do you need to poke a finger into the wounds in his side?

Here is a list of unconfirmed from the 28th (this is about `14 hours old so the info may be outdated) but may include some new names

The figures reported or suspected killed include:

Mojtaba Khamenei, son of the slain supreme leader who is considered to be a successor candidate. Israel’s Kan state broadcaster said there were indications that Mojtaba was killed, though this remains unconfirmed.

Esmail Qaani, head of the IRGC’s elite al-Quds force.

Majid Mousavi, the IRGC’s air force chief who oversees Iran’s ballistic missile attacks.

Saleh Asadi, a senior intelligence officer.

Mohammad Shirazi, head of Khamenei’s military bureau.

Hossein Jabal Amelian, chair of the research and development agency of Iran’s defence ministry.

Reza Mozaffari-Nia, former chair of the research and development agency of Iran’s defence ministry.

If the pilots landed in the US, they would be deported back.
