They can have immunity from us. Turn them over to the Iranian people though.

What's the point of going after hotels? Especially in the regions crown jewel.


Israel says they targeted high rise apartment towers near our bases to try to kill American military personnel families so maybe they are just aiming at hotels to kill Westerners.

Irans current regime is done whether we finish them off or not, they have attacked all their neighbors in the region, I could see several of these countries providing weapons to the Iran public to finish the job in the future

I don't mean to minimize the damage…but what kind of missile hit the Burj? A teeny tiny one? An arrow with flame?

It doesn't seem terribly impactful, compared to damage in other areas.

It's entirely possible I also just don't know what I'm looking at.

so if their reports that their air defense never got a shot off sre true, couple that with what happened in VZ or appears we have some sort of check mate tech operational that changes global strategy going forward

Turkey watching their Kurdish region. Also, NW of the batt altar is a nato awacs loitering in the area.

Also, I'm surprised the UAE, KSA, Bahrain, and Kuwait have not announced direct attacks in facilities at least associated with the attacks. I would think we could give them simple target packages - maybe not if we haven't trained with them though , i don't know.

Probably better to have them stay out of the way for now.

That's what the F-22s were there for. The mapped air defense systems and destroyed them.

Agree. They don't fly unless we give them the okay to do so.

very well could be. some of the stuff I've seen is it looks like the systems were just turned off. we know the growlers dont do that. they just overwhelm the bands to limit radar ability. i understand that the 22s can spoof systems and create a wild goose chase for opponents. (see the Goodyear blimp signature showing up)
dont know something more seems to be at work here

That's more of an F-35 thing. The Australian twitter rando that made that claim is FOS

I'm a little late to the party but haven't we wiped out their missile batteries by now?

Trying to overwhelm ADA I assume. This is what all the prep time has been about. Hoping they planned for all of the estimated launches that Iran has capacity for. Seeing they have an estimated 2,000 missiles. Taking out launchers significantly reduces this capability. Hope more launchers were taken out in this salvo.

Can I just point out the dearth of stories about Iranian civilians being targeted comin out of Iran after what has happened and continues to happen? Yeah that one story about a school being hit but no pictures, film, nothing.

The PR pushback ability of the Islamic regime has been severely downgraded, IMO.

They have hundreds of mobile launchers. I think we have taken out a lot of their hardened launch sites but the ones mounted on a truck they keep hidden. Also a lot of these strikes are also drones and not missiles I think.

The Israelis hit two cave complexes that sheltered mobile missile launchers trapping them inside but like Saddam and his mobile Scuds they have a lot. I think the estimate was 2000 ballistic missiles and they have fired a few hundred already

It is complicated. Will try to post later with some detail. Difficult to do.

Has the resistance already started?




Anything new on this? What happens here could be a barometer for the new insurgency.
