Any update on the "pilot that was shot down" the other day?

Give me a 3d printer, a harbor freight motor and some MIT grad students and I will drop it down $30k

buddy I was talking about the thing in the video, the missle we have shot 400 of compared to the DRONES the other side uses primarily
but what are we shooting those AT?

That's what matters. Iran is flinging tons of cheap shit, which isn't really doing much damage. Also, interceptors will always be pricey, which is why Israel developed the Iron Beam system.
 




Violent clashes are ongoing between Hezbollah fighters and soldiers from the IDF’s 35th Paratroopers Brigade, who reportedly attempted to infiltrate eastern Bekaa. An initial attempt involving two IDF helicopters was thwarted, and efforts are reportedly ongoing. There are unconfirmed reports that an IDF unit was ambushed.



Strikes on the UAE continue throughout the night, footage from Dubai.
 
The missiles aren't the issue, its the drone and they can be launched from a shopping mall parking lot from vehicles that are designed to blend in to society and the eastern border of Iran is almost as large as the American border with Mexico, meaning its porous as fuck and there is no hope of interdiction of weaponry the longer the conflict runs. Iran has tailored its military for this exact scenario because only a retard would have tried competing with the US military
Yeah, I agree with you. I got lazy and did not list the drones. Those are most definitely the biggest threat to shipping. I don't see any way the US can deal with those in a cost efficient manner. You can't use airpower to stop weapons that fit in a large car and can be launched from hundreds of kilometers away. As long as Iran remains a functioning state they will be able to build and use these things. The US basically needs to regime change Iran now if it wants to avoid economic crisis.

your trying to fuck up a worldview alot of these guys have to desperately defend to stay sane

alot of people needed this win to prove the US is still a military power and that all our failures were us "not trying hard enough" but every day this stretches on it gets worse and worse, buddy is casually unsanctioning the guy we sent ALMOST 200 BILLION IN MILITARY to defeat just to TRY and stabilize this shit.

look at the naming convention, its the same as his silly "midnight thunder" or whatever it was he called this one epic fury, it wasent SUPPOSED to kill the ayatollah cause it would cause this oil spike.

So not only was the a titanic fuckup militarily but now on a geopolitical level we are just screwed, we leave we look bad we stay we waste countless dollars and make the whole situation worse.

this is what happens when the tail starts to wag the dog
You’re confusing Europe’s interests with America’s. Russia is a threat to the EU, not the US, and no one cares what those smug and ungrateful cheapskates think.

Russia and China are currently only allies of convenience and it would be highly beneficial for American interests if China is isolated. It is therefore in our interest to rebuild ties with Russia and move them away from China.

If Europeans feel differently, they’re more than welcome to cut their social programs, rebuild their militaries, and declare war on Russia. Until then, if the United States wants Russia to be able to sell gas, then Russia will sell gas.
 
Interesting happening in the Beqaa valley:
Middle East Spectator — MES:
❗🇮🇱/🇱🇧/🇮🇷 BREAKING: An Israeli commando force has been besieged by Ridwan Forces in the Nabi Sheet area, Beqaa

@Middle_East_Spectator

Three Israeli helicopters landes on the Syrian side of the border and crossed into Lebanon, but were immediately detected.

They're currently under fire.

Hezbollah is filling the sky with bullets to prevent the arrival of more Israeli forces by helicopters.

❗🇱🇧/🇮🇷/🇮🇱 WATCH: Huge amounts of gunfire in Nabi Sheet, Beqaa; Israeli commandos are completely encircled

@Middle_East_Spectator

Hebrew media: 'A difficult security incident in Lebanon under military censorship'

❗🇱🇧/🇮🇷/🇮🇱 BREAKING: In a separate incident, an IDF force was just ambushed north of Khiam, southern Lebanon



Interesting happening, take it with a grain of salt due to the sources however.
 
The US basically needs to regime change Iran now if it wants to avoid economic crisis.
Regime change does not solve anything. You'll just end up in another Afghanistan or Iraq situation, by 2006 the Taliban controlled 50-70% of the country while the US puppet republic just barely controlled most cities and the suburbs. The regime in Iran is very popular in the countryside which trends religious and conservative. If you cannot control the countryside its basically a situation where the cities are under perpetual siege. Stop falling for the usual trap of focusing on the opinion of city dwellers because they resemble Americans the most, they're not the people who are important, they'll be isolated blips in a sea of seething angry rebels while the US spends insane effort to keep the highways between them open until morale plummets and we pull out.
 
has this been included in the thread yet? Is this not an act of war chat?
US/NATO have been doing the exact same thing in Ukraine, feeding the Ukrainian forces intelligence and targeting data on Russian positions. Providing direct support, i.e. military aid and intelligence, to one side in a conflict is not strictly casus belli. However, the other side in that conflict may interdict that support by force without it being casus belli as well.

For instance, the sinking of the RMS Lusitania in 1915 during a voyage from the US to England by a German u-boat. It was a very controversial attack, over 100 americans died when the ship sank. Yet, the US did not immediately declare war on Germany over it, in fact they did not officialy enter the war until 2 years later. This is because while obstensibly a cruise liner, The Lusitania had been loaded with over 170 tons of military aid for Britian before leaving port in New York. Germany knew there was military aid on the ship via their spy network, which is why they sunk it. Despite the loss of American lives, the US did not declare war because The Lusitania was carrying military aid, and thus was a legitimate target.

It's MES so take it with a whole shaker of salt but there's a few videos so something is happening.



An unidentified object gets shot down and crashes in the Bekka Valley region of Lebanon during clashes between Hezbollah and the IDF.



Multiple channels report this to be surveillance footage of the initial Israeli paratrooper landing in the Lebanese Beqaa Valley.
 
The point being the narrative of the past 10 years that the West is losing its military edge is officially dead.
On the entire planet, there's pretty much us as military powers go. Then there's Russia. Then there's China. The three of us are pretty much indestructible, plus we have nukes.

Shit drops off really quickly after that and everyone is fighting for fourth and fifth place, and any of the three of us can obliterate those within 24 hours.
