Gaza-Israel Conflict | October 2023

[Falcon29]

I remember this video, and yes I agree this lines up well with what we know. It's clear this wasn't a RPG actually, it looks like a Kornet ATGM that struck a Panther APC (neutralising 9 Zionist terrorists and injuring 4 more). Kornet ATGMs can target (and destroy) APCs and MBTs (with less success) from 4-5km range, which is a significant capability for Hamas. Unfortunately I still think their inventories of Kornet ATGMs are quite low in comparison to their RPG-based anti-tank weapons.

They don't have a lot of ATGM. I don't even think those are Russian but rather North Korean systems. Anyhow, their homemade tandem rounds for RPG will be lethal against enemy tanks and also mines.

Israel returned Sinai to Egypt and made peace with it - this development shows that Israel can co-exist with its neighbors peacefully

As a result of the ongoing conflict with the Palestinians, Israel is often placed in a difficult position. It is constantly on guard against terrorist attacks, and it is often forced to take military action in response to these attacks. This can lead to a cycle of violence and retaliation that makes it difficult to achieve peace.

Shehab correspondent: Very violent clashes took place between Palestinian resistance fighters and the occupation forces penetrating south of the Zaytoun neighborhood in Gaza, during which continuous explosions and heavy gunfire were heard, after which military aircraft intervened and launched a series of violent raids.

I get that but one still needs to do research and read history to understand what the sequence of events and to judge any entity fairly. You do not have to rely upon mainstream media to understand this theme. You can check original documents and scholarly works instead (your independent research).

Israel can co-exist peacefully with its neighbors and solve its problems with them as apparent in its dealings with Egypt and Turkey. I doubt that even a man like Netanyahu would like to start a war that would lead to billions of deaths. The conflict in the region is about HOW to settle the Palestinian problem.

One State Solution (British)
Two State Solution (United Nations)

Which can work? I do not claim to know. I have pointed out why this situation is out of control since 1948.

The B-52's electronic countermeasures suite is capable of protecting itself against a full range of air defense threat systems by using a combination of electronic detection, jamming and infrared countermeasures. The B-52 can also detect and counter missiles engaging the aircraft from the rear. These systems are undergoing continuous improvement in order to enable them to continue to counter emerging threat systems.

They also said the same thing about about rq-4 but neither it nor the accompanying P8 Poseidon could detect the incoming missile before one of them get blown out of sky, in fact they were not even aware of presence of any Sam there while their main duty was detecting those SAMs

Looks like they are having issues with terminal guidance.

These strikes will be more symbolic than game-changing. Because of all the US naval assets and patriot batteries deployed around the area. Israel's arrow system is also present. Which is also mostly US research based system. Unclear how many batteries and interceptors there are. Even Iran is too far to make a big difference. Only Hezbollah, Egypt, and Jordan can make a difference and force Israeli military to divert assets away from Gaza.

RQ-4 has nothing on B-52 in terms of being equipped for countermeasures. Literally no Western source claims that RQ-4 is survivable in a threat zone. RQ-4 can be equipped with countermeasures but not necessarily.

B-52 is serious stuff.

They are Russian acquired via Syria/Iran, although they also operate a Korean Korean RPG variant (not sure how that got in, I guess through Syria/Iran again).

The good news is they possessed Kornet ATGMs since I think 2011, so should have a non-negligible number, but the homemade RPG tandem rounds will be the bulk of it. They won't be effective against Merkava MBTs unfortunately but should be pretty lethal from close range (<200m) against everything else on the ground.

Looks like they are having issues with terminal guidance.

One Houthi Qods-4 cruise missile crashed in Jordan after travelling c. 1500km / the required 1600km to Israel. Cruise missiles have a 20-30% failure rate, it's nothing new.

These strikes will be more symbolic than game-changing. Because of all the US naval assets and patriot batteries deployed around the area. Israel's arrow system is also present. Which is also mostly US research based system. Unclear how many batteries and interceptors there are. Even Iran is too far to make a big difference. Only Hezbollah, Egypt, and Jordan can make a difference and force Israeli military to divert assets away from Gaza.

Mostly agree, but with two caveats: (1) large numbers of cruise/drones from Yemen are already forcing Israel to allocate substantial air force resources to south Israel to detect and intercept these threats and (2) Syria should be added to that list (notwithstanding its current weakness due to its own war).

B-52 is serious stuff.

The B-52 is a manned bomber that is designed to survive in heavily defended airspace, while the RQ-4 is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that is primarily used for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR).

The RQ-4 can be equipped with some countermeasures, such as electronic countermeasures (ECM) and chaff dispensers, but it is not as heavily protected as the B-52. The B-52 has a much larger payload capacity, which allows it to carry a wider variety of countermeasures, including chaff, flares, and electronic warfare equipment.

Alhamdulillah Palestinians and Hamas are not cowards like many on this forum.

I believe Jordan announced to have shot it down.

If it makes them deploy the arrow system there and moves it away from the north, it will benefit Hezbollah in the event they join in too. Coming days will determine. We also don't know what Netanyahu's endgame is. He has to start providing answers soon. His political career is over. And he has to find a way out of this mess he and his extremist government created for Israel. If they double down with more mass murder and violence, then events will take a different turn.
