Spain orders US aircraft out of Moron and Rota bases due to attacks against Iran.
Our stalwart European allies at it again. Europistan leaders need to obey the will of the ummah.
Has this happened before? Seems significant
Which part? We've already been denied base use by the Brits and Frogs, but overseas.
Spain initially sent like 12 troops to Iraqi Freedom. There was a suicide bomber on the subway in madrid and the King/PM immediately cucked all the way out and withdrew all Spanish troops from Iraq. Spain has been ruled by Muslim thought ever since.
Ferdinand is spinning in his grave, this spinning has been harnessed by the communists for green energy.
Fattah-1 and 2 have always been my favorite missiles in Irans arsenal. They look aggressive and are deadly. One of the harder ones for THAAD and Davids Sling to hit.

Yeah ok that's kinda kino. It needs a sharkface painted on it.
I'm sorry, but the images are reversed, I'm White, you're clearly mulatto.
Post hands.
wasn't exactly a choice for them
when the arabs conquer you, your options are
>convert and submit to islam
>get enslaved
>get slaughtered
if you are christian or jewish you may also get the option of living as a subjugated second class citizen under muslim rule, where you get to keep your religion as long as you pay special jizya tax to your muslim overlords for "protection", but this only applies to 'people of the book' aka the abrahamic religions islam recognizes as such. persian zoroastrians were considered pagans, so they don't even get that option.
Live as a second class citizen and are forbidden from "proselytizing" - aka the Muslims confine you to your little quarter and wait for your to slowly die out.
And Zoroastrians have had uneven treatment by Muslims. Some Caliphs declared them fellow monotheists and thus entitled to the same protections as Christians and Jews. Others declared them pagans because of their religious practices declaring their eternal flame as an idol.
There is a lot more to be said on Islamic treatment of other religions.
In the early days, Islam was a small elite club. They were required to evenly divide the loot from conquests and raids among all muslims, so there was incentive to keep the population as low as possible. Later on this changes and the greatest minds of Islamic law determined that as long as the Caliph was doing things for the good of the people, he could keep all the loot for himself and distribute it indirectly.
So afaik there wasn't even an attempt by the Iranians to use that speedboat swarm tactic they relentlessly shilled as a carrier killer. Anyone know why? Was it always doomed to failure or was it too reliant on a stable chain of command?
Always doomed to failure against modern ships.
To tl;dr: older ships, especially large ones, used to have significant "dead zones" close by. There is a great example of this from WWII where a US destroyer disabled a Japanese Heavy cruiser while taking no damage by nearly deck to deck with it, and just using its 40mm and 5in guns to pound the superstructure adn set it aflame. The large guns coudln't depress enough to hit the destoryer and the 20mm and .50 crews murdered any japnese that attempted to get to the secondary armament - which also couldn't lower enough to hit the destroyer.
Modern ships do not have these dead zones in their CIWS. It woudl be a turkey shoot.
I know that you are jerking off to the Iran invasion war game where the guy playing the Iranian general did a bunch of trolling. This is quoted by retards who don't understand how these simulations go.
First, the trick only worked because the guy doing Iran knew exact weaknesses of US CIWS. He knew at exactly what range to use his speed boat swarms to use terrain to get inside the dead zone, adn he could only do this because he personally knew he guy playing the US invasion command leader, and he knew his plan was to get his ships close to shore to unload troops with maximum speed, so the "Iran Side" was prepped and ready for the exact tactic. The rapid deployment depended on speed and surprise, and due to the personal information, they ddn't have surprise.
Second, the trick doesn't work on any ship built after the USS Cole. For those with short memories, the USS Cole was a US destroyer hit by a suicide speed boat and damaged with 17 killed. The US updated ship building and vessel doctrine. Not only to US ships not have close-in dead zones anymore, but US doctrine is now to engage any approaching ship that doesn't ID itself at longer range with lethal force.
The US wasn't the only nation that took in these lessons Russia has learned it too. You can look at USV kills on the black sea and notice that what Ukraine is able to hit with USVs is nearly all ships laid down when the USSR Was still 'a thing'
Third, the swarm tactic would not have worked if the US commander had deployed his cobra gunships defensively around his fleet. But he didn't, becasue he was trying to go for a blitz deployment.
Now, a bunch of retards love to finger their prostates to "ThE iRaNiAn SiDe In ThE wAr GaMe WaS bAnNeD fRoM uSiNg SpEeD bOaTs" when recounting the story. Because the purpose of the war game wasn't to look at US fleet doctrine. It was to look at how the ground war would go. THAT is why the Iranian commander was forbidden to use his speedboats when they reran the game.
Now, the US commander was ALSO being a little powergaming fucker by deploying his fleet that close to shore to reduce deployment time. What mongs and commies forget when jerking off to the event was on the rerun
the US commander was also prevented from using his clever tactic of nearly beaching his ship to try to get an advantage. The wargame runners basically just told both of them "stop being faggots and help us simulate the thing we actually want to simulate - a ground invasion - instead of fucking around on the coast"
