Do we though?
Best case scenario: Iran gets its shit together, sends an active fighting force to the East, with all the bells and whistles. Strong communication between Tehran and Taliban is established with clear intent on Iran’s part that any more deadly raids/provocations will be met with...
Iran needs to conduct some fucking drone operations against the Taliban, film it and release the footage…
This border attack, although not that successful. Is a horrible look.
There’s cells within the Taliban already wanting to “go all the way to Tehran” and this recent deadly border clash is...
No need to call me a "fool" HGV, I'm fundamentally agreeing with your premise...
LegenD has a storied history of downplaying Iranian capabilities and that of its allies (lots of back and forth between me and him and others on the subject during the past 7 years).
Nevertheless, he does bring...
Mobile launchers with 72-80 rockets each and static launchers with 100+ pods will overwhelm the Iron-dome when launches are coordinated with each other to saturate targets.
These defense-systems are not silver-bullets and the quantity/caliber of muntion Hezbollah possesses VS that of Hamas or...
Fair, but I did say "elements" within Taliban, not the entirety of the organization.
Naturally there would be strong opposition within the group, pushing against any notion of getting into a conflict with the Islamic Republic.
On the topic of UAV/UCAV border patrol with regards to the...
Idk, maybe the recent exchange of fire. Constant reports of rising tensions, anti-Iranian rhetoric from Taliban officials?
The trajectory isn’t promising, is what I’m getting at.
Launch an extended UCAV border patrol mission with the sole aim of identifying and destroying any TALIBAN related targets.
It’s clear elements within the Taliban have no interest in keeping the peace with Iran and want a conflict…
I think Legend is taking a more conservative approach. His stance regarding Iran has been always to err on the side of “what we know” rather than what we can imply or wishful thinking and hypotheticals. — Remember, Israel ruined Beirut because they were wholly ineffective against Hezbollah in...
Launch a campaign against Taliban targets on the border…
Iran has the largest UCAV fleet in the region. Surely they can mop up any would be attackers from disturbing the peace.
Iran simply doesn’t posses good retaliatory measures against Israeli strikes in Syria, period. — missiles, drones, and inside jobs on behalf of Iran aside. The clear lack of a decent air-force coupled with adequate ISR assets, shows itself in spades.
Israel is just too far away and Iran is...
There is zero evidence to support the claim that Israeli F-35s have repeatedly gone into Iranian airspace.
Whilst Hezbollah might posses enough firepower to bog down Israel. The idea that they alone can somehow surmise a victory over Israel in a pure military sense without incurring massive...
Ukraine’s interception rates are obscene… Routinely claiming 100% destruction of incoming munitions, of all types, is ridiculous.
The Khinzal interceptions are the funniest.
