June 15Jun 15 10 minutes ago, Cult Icon said:What is generally not understood in the West because the media has bias is that Russia cultivates good relationships all across the world- just not in the Western world 10% of the world population vs 90%. (Middle East, Africa, Asia etc). They and China position themselves as the alternative to the West.They probably already shared a lot of advanced technologies with Iran long ago, when the war started Iran was the first to rush in to help. Iran however seems to have a problem not getting their top people assassinated by the Israelis.Agreed and not forget that they also formed BRICS.We'll see what happens next. I read that Israel also attacked Yemen, so now they're fighting a multifront war. If somehow Iraq also gets involved then it's gonna be very bad for Israel.
June 16Jun 16 So his birthday parade got overshadowed by the protests, and now it's time for retaliation? Get ready for even bigger protests across the country - just one poor decision from either side could spark full-blown riots.
June 16Jun 16 Time to get scammed again Trumpers!Make the phone in China, slap a 'Made in USA' sticker on it and sell it at a hefty price. 'Eventually' just means this will be a very limited edition with no real plans to ever manufacture the phone in the USA.

June 17Jun 17 So far it looks like drones, Israeli Airpower, Iranian Ballistic Missiles, and AA (US + Israeli) war which would be completely indecisive without ground assaults on both sides. Neither side is capable of large scale ground assaults.The Israelis will attack with airpower/drones (missiles and bombs) while the Iranians will use missiles/drones.US-NATO exhausted their spare AA stockpiles for Ukraine a very long time ago which means that aid to Israel in the long term will have to compete with Ukraine for new Anti-aircraft missile production, which is far too short for Ukraine's needs anyway. This would be a serious problem, especially as the Iranians are good at producing cheap but effective Kamikaze drones to exhaust enemy AA missile stockpiles. Eventually Israeli will run out of AA missiles in a longer conflict due to their slow production and extremely high cost.Long duration missile warfare is slow/expensive/indecisive as Russia has proven in Ukraine, despite destroying thousands of targets. Unless the Iranians use chemical payloads the destruction of Israelis will be limited to that of an aircraft bomb per missile. Both sides should be capable of terrorizing each other with drones, especially FPV.Israel is good at killing civilians in Gaza with aircraft bombs but Iran is a large country with 10 x the population lol. It looks like Israel can be supplied with American bombs & aircraft ordinance easily which would be their advantage. The Iranians would have to find a way to destroy Israel's airpower, certainly by bringing down their AA grid over the course of a longer war. They could also try to get at them with drones.

Israel could attempt something like a Normandy style amphibious landing but it would be impossible without U.S assistance. 6 hours ago, Cult Icon said:Long duration missile warfare is slow/expensive/indecisive as Russia has proven in Ukraine, despite destroying thousands of targets.

Israel could attempt something like a Normandy style amphibious landing but it would be impossible without U.S assistance.Iran has Shahed drones which are cheap(ish) and quick to produce.The Geran drones cost around $50,000 each 2 yrs ago (less if they ramp up production) and bring down $10 million dollar US PATRIOT missiles.Israel has a population of less than 10 million, Iran has 90 million people. It would require Israel to field a multi-million man army lol.
