Iran's impressive ballistic missile accuracy!!!

Once the US gains air superiority, the game is over for Iran. Within 2 weeks, Iranian command and control networks, Navy, and IADS will be significantly degraded. Then its open season for the US Air Force. Iranian missiles will be intercepted, fail in flight, launchers destroyed and expended. Yes, a portion will get through, but you will need a ton of missiles to be successful. Definitely a lot more on the Assad base, that's for sure. The US didn't even have missile defense batteries in position.
You've forgotten Iran's anti-access area denials weapons which are true game changers against the yankees. I'm not even mentioning thousands Iranian missiles and possibility of annihilation of i$rael.

did you read the second tweet you posted yourself? US couldn't do anything about it because no military assets were in place..

Besides patriot missile defence is coming out as a failed system. it could not even stop the attack on Saudi Air Fields.. Billion of dollars wasted in its acquisition.
Consider following facts:-

1. Surface defenses aren't infallible.

2. An oil refinery contain numerous objects and materials which are likely to make it difficult for a radar system to distinguish hostile objects from ground clutter around it.

3. The attack on Abqaiq oil refinery succeeded because the intruding force had 'angle of approach' outside the line-of-sight of the radar system of the Patriot battery stationed nearby. Additional defenses in the vicinity were not up to the task of stopping cruise missiles by themselves. This was a very well-planned attack.

4. Since KSA and Yemen are at war, Saudi defenses are mainly positioned and oriented in such a way as to blunt attacks from Yemen. Not surprisingly, radar system of the Patriot battery stationed near Abqaiq oil refinery was pointing towards the direction of Yemen as well when it was struck.

Above all, KSA was not expecting a major attack from Iran until Abqaiq incident. Failure of Saudi intelligence?

5. Patriot batteries in KSA have blunted numerous attacks on Saudi territory originating from Yemen since 2015, preventing a great deal of destruction across KSA. This is very impressive given utter failure of much hyped Russian-origin defenses in Syria in contrast.

According to them, they knew it was going to happen, but did not bring a single ABM battery to defend. These people and their nonesense.
They did not.

American mission in Iraq have much more to do with containing ISIS movement in the region (i.e. Operation Inherent Resolve), but not to station advanced forms of defenses in Iraq because US and Iraq are not allies in true sense.

Yes you are right Pakistan is not comparable to America but we can nuke Bangladesh in a heartbeat
Credit to Bangladesh for doing a decent job with the Rohingya refugees. Give it some thought before you nuke them. One nuke or two?
 
Question to professionals or those who know i am just curious to understand whats the blast radius of a ballistic missile ?

an 1 ton warhead of high explosives will give you 150_200 meter full destruction and up to 500 meter of damage to objects

this is interesting..

i just started seeing news detail on battle damage... the accuracy is 15meter CEP ??? wow

https://www.npr.org/2020/01/08/7945...-reveal-extent-of-damage-at-al-assad-air-base


officially, it's under 10 meter CEP
 
But how many nations have the industrial/technical capability to develop these missiles and such guidance systems?

It's best to reduce their reliance on GPS as much as possible as during a conflict, one should not be expecting to rely on GPS and GPS type systems.
Every semi-developed nation can do guidance systems. The information is freely available and even with sanctions it is doable more so now.

This empty tent was a great revenge for 35 mercenaries + 10 top commanders including Abu Muhandis and Soleimani.

Khamenei stronk111!!! :taz:

The irony that tents standing right near are not touched by blast wave or shrapnel. Is that really 600 kg warhead????

Gen Milley confirmed that all of Irans missiles had 1,000-2,000 pound warheads.
 
Everybody knew Iranian missiles have very high accuracy. Nothing new.
 
1000-2000 pound warhead did not touch nearby tent?

Thats barely 10 pound.

Would a "10 pound" do this?


"You looked around at each other and you think: Where are we going to run? How are you going to get away from that?" said Ferguson.

"I don't wish anyone to have that level of fear," he said. "No one in the world should ever have to feel something like that."
