I do think it is ironic that for decades, Iran has threatened to close the Strait of Hormuz with Chinese silkwirm missiles. Now that they've closed the strait, China is demanding that it reopen.

China finally realized "WAIT! We need **** from the west, too...ooops"

If Iran is still launching drones, we're not done yet.

I cannot conceive of the resources Iran must have used to build so many missiles and drones. It really is staggering.

Imagine how great of a country they could be if they focused on their people and not trying to kill Jews and Americans as their #1 policy.

That's the tragedy of Iran. They've been sanctioned up the ass for 40 years and still one of the more relatively advanced in the ME. If they play nice, are capable of being the financial, tourism, and economic capital of the ME.

Obviously but it sounded like we've been holding something back. Maybe I misunderstood it.

The drones are the easiest part, to be honest. Most of the primary structure is styrofoam in many cases, and the motors, controllers, and data link (if it even has one, assuming it isn't sent on a one-way mission to predetermined coordinates) are easily sourced from China (think level of stuff you can buy off of Amazon).

Why is tracking of our military planes even allowed? Especially when they were preparing for all of this. Seems like we wouldn't want the enemy to know all of that information. I've always wondered since it became popular to do that on the internet.

What strategic value does Cyprus have? Or is it just the only base those idiot Hezballah toads can hit?

Didn't work out for Venezuela. Think they were watching flight aware or similar.

Also, you can only see what the military wants you to see. Theres a little psychological game going on here

I'd assume if we didn't want it to be public info, it wouldn't be.

Not much Iran can really do at this point anyway.

They can turn the trackers off. The public ones are often a diversion, or threat.

This. They turn off the trackers over the water and back on when flying over land that isn't hostile.

Brits used their base there in 2024 to help defend Israel from Iranian attack. I guess that was enough to make their "we're doomed so let's hit everything we can" list.

This is surreal. Trump has been waiting to take care of Iran for almost 50 years.

More correctly, they turn off ADS-B out any time they want to in order to effectively "go dark."

When operating in civilian airspace (including overwater routes, sometimes) they typically keep ADS-B on so that other aircraft can see them and navigate appropriately. The showing up on tracking websites is just a side effect of this.

When "going dark" they have other methods of remaining visible to friendlies (Mode 5 IFF) which is encrypted and secure.

Turkey can handle the boots on the ground piece of this operation if they are so inclined.

They will not be inclined. They are not big fans of Iran by any means as they want to be the big dog in the region but they are no friends of Israel and will not do anything to help Israel's security in any way.

It's amazing how many adversaries Netanyahu has outlasted and basically defeated. With help but he has had a heck of a career.

Man,the end of that shot showing the back of the attack sub with the F-18 heading out ahead of the fleet is awesome. Nobody comes close to the might and firepower of the American military.

Is it just me, or is it crazy that the pilot didn't have his sidearm at the ready?

I guess he is not expecting the enemy to roll up?

He was in Kuwait. Methinks a lot of Kuwaiti people remember the U.S. as liberators, maybe.
