Remains to be seen if it will be implemented.
It is still widely believed that Iran is looking firmly towards Russia for a revitalization of its Air-Force although China would be the only other alternative.
Now how willing the Chinese would be to draw the immediate ire of Americans by...
Agreed, but what concerns me is that Iran still needs to find a way to fix its air power so they at least have an “up-to-date” fleet that can work in tandem with IADs; relieving pressure from ground based ADS.
Those Su-35s better not be some sort of pipe dream…
It’ll be another 10-15 years, I feel, before we see a healthy number of operational BAVAR-373 batteries.
They’ve never ceased working on it since its original unveiling ~5 years ago. Maybe they are still determining which version of the BAVAR-373 is most suitable for mass production. Obviously...
I think the essence of LeGenD’s point is that Israel/America hold operative military initiative due to their immense capabilities. Anything the resistance forces do is a reaction to their movements and have been thus far, muted in scope due to mutual reluctance in widening the scope of conflict...
Yeah, I was confused about the Hezbollah musings.
I thought both Hezbollah and Israel have a mutual understanding that whilst IDF can inflict far more harm to Lebanon than Hezbollah can to Israel (physically speaking); the resulting violence isn’t worth it due to Hezbollah’s increased combat...
By the looks of it, Iran was never going to get involved in the war to begin with.
Amir Abdollahian, Salami and other IRGC/government officials tend to speak big game for internal consumption but they’re not at all interested in embroiling Iran into what is essentially an open-ended conflict...
Yeah I agree but I don’t think most people (well at least I didn’t) actually thought that Hamas alone could have stood any chance.
Wishful thinking to believe Hamas in Gaza would be able to beat an IDF solely concentrated on their utter eradication. Way too much armor, constant air...
Keep hearing that Israel plans on tackling Hezbollah in Lebanon after they’re done with Hamas in Gaza.
Literal endless supply of weapons, money and equipment.
Insane hold Israel has over America.
So far Hezbollah has shown exceptional battlefield implementation of ATGMs as a Swiss-Army-knife of sorts.
They’ve blown up very expensive Israeli ISR assets on the border and are continuing to blind the IDF as days and weeks go by. This sets up Hezbollah for extensive commando operations into...
Neither side wants war, that’s the key takeaway here.
Falling into “who kills X amount more of people” and destroys “such and such” type of argument doesn’t matter when we know the cost will be high and felt by everyone in someway.
U.S. armed forces in Syria: Iraq, Kuwait, Bahrain and whatever...
A wider conflict seems like something Biden himself wouldn’t want to be involved in (nor interested) naturally. So the essence of this article isn’t exactly wrong.
These sorts of developments aren’t conducive to any sort of positive geopolitical change. If Europe needlessly ratchets up...
