I think it was a malfunction, I can't see any projectiles in the footage of the moment one of them suddenly combusted.

I definitely see something catching up to it exactly when it goes in flames.
 
I'd say the primary mission now is to destroy as many missile launchers as possible. You can always take out the leaders any day but the missiles are the most dangerous weapon Iran has now. If they get launched in the air, it takes a few interceptors to shoot one down. Taking out the TELs and silos means saving lives and will be the difference between a seamless victory vs drawn out conflict.
 
Yeah if basically anything else happens in the world, or this becomes an even wider campaign due to other countries joining in, it could start to get very ugly very fast
The question isn't really going to be how long Iran can sustain itself throwing cheap drones it has stockpiled for years underground but how quickly they can actually install a new leader
 
Kind of a meme. We'll get the heat death of the universe before running out of JDAMs/GBUs (there are tens of thousands). Tomahawks are more limited but have also been rarely used outside of the opening salvo. I'm more worried about interceptors. Thankfully Iran is chimping out and involving the whole region, so its not just the US expending munitions. lol
 
1,000 military targets, wow. Looks like we won't get troops on the ground.

Kuwait has the right to defend itself.

I think a lot of the box counters have just been so coked up on the Military Industrial Complex for decades at this point that if they see munitions stocks go down at any time they start to get nervous like if you go into a hoarders house and take one box off the pile their world ends.


Holy shit Kuwaiti friendly fire has gotten more confirmed kills than Iran at this point
Bro the security guards outside of our consulate in Pakistan has more kills than Iran at this point.

Wdym Persia is more kino, Iran literally means "the realm of the Aryans".
Someone should have told them that before they picked the name. They wouldn't have made such a big mistake then.

What the hell is Zionism? I heard people claiming the belief that Israel can exist is Zionist. Is it true?
It's what the retarded nigger cattle like to call those who aren't retarded nigger cattle. Same as racist, Nazi, misogynist, fascist, etc. So I know I feel pretty cool when I get called that, whatever it means.
 
It's gone bro
No...Tomcat bros....

It makes lefties and 5th columnists seethe.

I know man, it's terrible. The war in Venezuela has only been going on for 2 months and it's already killed 4,000 American soldiers. I see no reason why the war in Iran should be any different.
Hey I will have you know I hurt my side laughing when that happened. The hangovers from celebratory drinking in base bars nation-wide were in the tens of thousands.
Trump's presidency is dangerous, if this keeps up my face will start hurting from all the smiling I'm doing.

It wasn't that long ago where Chinese F-16 knock offs flown by Pakis were bagging Rafales over the skies of Kashmir, but it appears that was entirely due to Indian ineptitude.
By brother you have no idea.
The Indian pilot was aware of the Pakistani plane. He was aware the Pakistani pilot had a lock on him. He was aware the Paki has launched on him. The Indian pilot took limited evasive/defensive action because the missile was launched outside of what India considered the maximum effective range of the missile.


LOL.

The footage the Mainstream Media won't show you of how Trump knew the Ayatollah was dead.
Weekend at Khamenei's

The Trump Dance is the dance of freedom.
It is 2036. The olympics are starting.
Iran's delegation marches out to the nation's unofficial anthem, the song of the resistance: YMCA
The Iranian Atheletes, as they have been doing every Olympics since 2028, all do a perfectly choreographed Trump dance.

Please, President Trump, blow up the Kaaba, I will do anything.
Use something toxic or radioactive. Please. Please vaporize the boooocks.

I'm pretty sure B2s operate outside of AA strike distances. Even if they didn't, there's a negative chance Iranian missiles could lock onto something that's designed to be invisible to all but the naked eye.
I will try to condense this, so fine details will be lost:
The B-2 would operate at extreme altitude. Even if enemy AA was able to detect and lock, the missile would need to fight gravity and atmospheric friction at maximum levels - this degrades speed and range substancially. The B-2 has the speed, if a launch is detected early enough, to simply be out of range by the time a missile would reach its altitude.

This is Space Marines vs Orks.
This is more like Space Marines vs. Imperial guard with ork equipment.

Oh, lovely. One of those that blames the "evil generals who gladly laid down their lives in WW1 but hated France now!"

France's failure in 1940 has much more to do with poor political decisions through the 30s, a disasterous rivalry between the French Army and the government, and making the wrong guesses/lack of vision that the Germans had regarding communications. You also highly overestimate the position the French were in by June 5, 1940.

First, the Government, which was mostly socialist and secular, had a great distrust of the military, which was largely catholic and rightist. This resulted in the Government taking any precaution to prevent a coup. Which meant a professional army as small as possible. France could only wage war as a mass conscript army or not at all. This led to France being forced to either declare total mobilization when the Germans reoccupied the Rhineland, or give it up entirely. A professional force capable of fighting on their own without conscripts would have easily brushed aside the Wermacht of 1936. Germany's occupation of course being timed to the French economy falling apart, making war extremely unpopular.

The Government also nationalized various industries, including aviation in 1934. This led to rather poor designs from demoralized design teams that used to own the companies before they were stolen. The main French fighter of the war, the MS 406, was hopelessly outclassed by the BF 109D despite being based on a design more than a year newer. The Luftwaffe cleared the skies of borderline obsolete French aircraft and achieved near air supremacy by June. This wasn't "having zero will" or "giving up".

The war on land was mostly due to a great paranoia on preventing German sigint, which gets overshadowed by Allied efforts but broke the Anglo codes on and off until mid-43 and kept breaking Soviet codes until the end of the war, from cracking their wireless communications by getting rid of them entirely. The French army relied on courier and telephone to get orders across. Which, while unbreakable, was painfully slow. The French delay at Sedan was entirely due to poor communications.

Even then, Sedan didn't have to be entirely decisive, except for the brilliant Breda plan to send France's entire mobile reserve into Holland to keep them in the war. By June 6, the remaining French forces were mostly conscripts, reservists, with most of their armor and mobile troops wasted in Belgium, operating under enemy air supremacy. No shit they broke.
Good lord I didn't realize they stacked cope this high.

The fact the politicians betrayed the Military for almost two decades because they were chainsmoking fags does not negate:
France had the capability to continue to fight, but not the will.
Their political apparatus threw in the towel very quickly after setbacks.

So the point still stands:
The French Reputation for Readily Surrendering was well-earned in WWII

Actually the PLA purge seems to be moreso around building consensus around a Taiwan invasion.

The last general who got bagged, was done so under the pretense that he was a “traitor”.
Purging your officers before a war, well known political tactic for battlefield success.

St. Peter wrote that God "desires all people to be saved".

It might not work out that way, but it's worth a shot.
here's your problem:
Indians aren't people.
 
Iran does not have an interim Supreme Leader. When the position of Supreme Leader is vacant, it is filled by a leadership council composed of the President, the Chief Justice, and a member of the Guardian Council selected by the Expediency Council. [Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Article 111]

Arafi is the member of the Guardian Council who was selected. Reports of his death appear to be fake news.

I don't know how credible they are.
