If the U.S. militaries assessment was that they didn't want to continue down a direct military confrontation with Iran at this time then clearly the only way for them to save face and get out of the mess they created would be to:
1. Claim that there were no casualties and that Iranians either...
Seems like your overly obssessed with casualty numbers when the fact is in war casualty numbers have NEVER resulted in victory for one side or the other! And I do NOT believe the 80 casualty figure given by Iran's media nore do I believe the 0 figure given by the U.S. especially since the U.S...
That's simple because they couldn't blame Human Error this time around because they knew an attack was coming so guy's eating pizza wasn't going to fly!!!
Come on man especially after Iranian missile attacks in Iraqi Kurdistan and Syria how gullible do you have to be to believe that they didn't...
Yes Gen Solaimani was a famous Iranian general and by the most part he got his fame because he was fearless but don't confuse Iran with U.S. puppet monarchies where the removal of an individual results in a change of the countries behavior or in policy and we don't live in the 18th century where...
If your referring to the USS liberty that's not the same as conducting precision strikes against U.S. military air bases from 100's of km from your own boarders using domestically produce weapons
.
Iran, Vietnam, the Koreans have all hit U.S. ships....
Every video I've seen so far shows the plane was already on fire before that mid air explosion and the U.S. media all day has been trying to pass that off as some kind of prof that Iran shot it down! which is absurd and intentionally misleading. Fact is until the investigations are concluded...
are you blind???
U.S. not admitting to casualties is NOT the same as U.S. not having casualties! And this is NOT new U.S. behavior during the Vietnam war the casualty numbers the U.S. admitted to were less 1/10 of the real casualty numbers. So what the U.S. admits to has to do with the...
Since WW2 name 1 country that has directly carried out precision strikes against U.S. military assets at a U.S. military base 100's of km from it's own boarders using only it's own domestically produced weapons? Iran is NOT like any other country U.S. has faced in the past.
And although since...
So far everything is nothing more than pure speculation!!!!
The one clear mistake made by the Iranian government is their failure to act and ground all flights so soon after the missile attacks by Iran on US bases when clearly there was the potential of U.S. retaliatory air strikes and under...
My prof is in the number of active U.S. military aircrafts stationed at that base. ONLY an utter fool would accept that the U.S. would station vast resources at a large military base in the middle east of all places without stationing one of their main defensive systems there to protect them...
Really? LOL! This was one of the largest U.S. bases in Iraq and you think they didn't even have a patriot missile battery protection??? Really? And you believe that?? FYI Having patriot missile protection doesn't necessarily mean that the batteries were directly located at that base BUT it would...
Mach 4 to Mach 8 are the missiles max speed at altitude NOT it's speed upon impact!!!! How much more damage did you think 450kg to 650kg standard warheads were going to make???? Your not going to destroy 4 bunkers per missile with a 600kg conventional warhead! And it's not like Iran hasn't used...
Why do you think it's not enough??? I think 200 is about the right number.... You'd also need UAV's and UCAV's to do post strike assessment and further strikes....
just to give your some perspective U.S. fired some 60 tomahawk cruise missiles at a Syrian Air Force base (Shayrat airbase) ~2...
The Sat images don't show the entire base and again failures are to be expected especially with BM's and they are not specific to Iran also as with all Ballistic projectiles the success rate improves the more you fire so you have to consider that this was a limited attack and Iran's goal here...
Your acting as if the missiles landed in the middle of nowhere in a military base the size of a small town!! So your the one trying to spread absurd miss information and propaganda!
Military bases are usually the size of small towns SO WHAT? It's what was clearly targeted and hit that matter...
Yea US Air Force bases are defenseless! LOL! CM's are far easier to intercept as was proven in Syria against American CM's!
FYI 50% success rate is rather standard for BM's and in an all out war that number would naturally reduce the more your fire.
And the Base is the size of a small town not...
This is beyond Impressive! The accuracy is astonishing!!!! I think Iran should build 20 new underground missile production facilities to produce these missiles in far greater numbers because clearly no Iranian Air Force would have been able to defeat both U.S. Air Power and U.S. Air Defenses to...
Iran's intention was to send a message that we have missiles that have the range, accuracy & destructive power to take you on and your ABM systems even with advanced warning aren't sufficient enough to stop them.
Fact is due to advances made to Air Defense systems today plus the capabilities...
Basing your intel based on what the U.S. says is absurd! Historically U.S. NEVER admits to loss of assets or personal unless it is directly in it's interest to do so.
And I'm not saying the missiles did or didn't hit anything! Truth is I don't know but what I do know is that if the U.S. doesn't...
The U.S. had intel on Iranian missile movements so they likely had their ABM systems hot and ready to go reports say at least 10 missiles hit the base so we'll see in the coming day's that if these missile hit anything of worth or not but if they did and the U.S. ABM systems were active and hot...
