I like that Grok now writes in Elon's cringy style as well.

That's been the Zionist stance on antisemitism for the movement's entire history.

It's almost certainly 4 times what this study claims.

This sort has happened several times already. The Ukrainians really need to confiscate their foreign volunteers phones.

This conflict showed that Iran really needs to modernise its air force. The j-10's proved themselves in the India Pakistan fight this year, so it's a natural choice. It's a pity that they aren't looking the latest J-20 or J35, but I imagine that China isn't going to export them yet.

Maybe I'm underestimating it, but it always struck me as a weapon that's mostly for terrorisng civilians. Have they used the A-10 against anyone with an airforce?

That's a huge number of planes. Does anyone know how many the deployed before attack Saddam in Iraq 2.0?

That's how I understand it too. I'm even less of an expert than you are though, so I'd like to hear more from other as well.

My best guess it that they see it as a way of making the Israelis waste interceptor missiles and keep Israeli civilians in shelters. If I was in the Iran position, I'd wait till the Israelis have as few missile defences as possible before using my best weapons on military targets.

[–] HoiPolloi@hexbear.net 25 points 3 weeks ago

Can't say I'm surprised. Those missiles aren't cheap. Even with all the Israelis strikes, I'd doubt they have that close to enough ammo to stop everything Iran can throw at them.

I find it really hard to see this all play out and be powerless to stop it. That said, having other users on this site help me sift through all the bullshit and trying to be informed on it as possible has helped me a lot.
