Ok.

Funny enough Iran spent time building missiles and suicide drones.

They're a force to reckon with when it comes to suicide drones and missiles.

True.

This is my point. While they focused on drone and missile technology, Russia and China should have covered their flanks by providing world-class weaponry in areas where they are lacking.

Waooo....never knew about this plan.
I just know the regular pattern of US warlords.
Just imagine what they are planning using their puppet isreal as a decoy.
Ukraine was a decoy, likewise taiwan.
Yea, they go around the globe increasing tensions and provoking conflicts, and when the countries in question retaliate, they make a 'surprised Pikachu face' and blame them for "unprovoked aggression". Then they use their media to paint a completely opposite and false picture of reality to convince most of their 'not so bright' citizens and the visa hungry, pro-western Dumbo's here. tongue tongue There's this video on YouTube of a Canadian and American surveillance plane (two separate videos) flying somewhere in the south China sea with media crew on board, filming and reporting mid air. The reporter was whining about a Chinese fighter jet intercepting and flying "dangerously close" to the plane, accusing the Chinese pilots of "provocative and aggressive behavior". grin cheesy And people in the comment section were asking very important questions. What are US/Canadian plane doing there in the first place? And did the interception taking place around US/Canadian territory? Or close to Chinese territory? undecided
And concerning Ukraine, the plans to use Ukraine as a proxy to "extend Russia" is also on paper. This paper was published in 2019, even before the SMO began.

⚡Britain has announced the possibility of sending its DragonFire laser weapon, which can shoot down drones, to Ukraine, The Telegraph reports.

London plans to introduce the new weapon into its army by 2027. But its prototypes could be sent to Ukraine even sooner, British Defence Secretary Grant Shapps says.

What makes DragonFire special is its cheapness. It is said to cost £10 per shot.

⚡Russian air defence system, trainers arrive in Niger

Russian military instructors have arrived in Niger with an air defence system and other equipment as part of the West African nation’s deepening security ties with Moscow, state television announced late on Thursday.

Niger’s military government agreed in January to step up security cooperation with Russia, after expelling French forces that were helping fight jihadist rebellions in several Sahel nations.

On Friday, African Corps — seen as the successor of Russia’s Wagner mercenary group in Africa — confirmed it had arrived in Niger.

⚡️18 hours ago, Russia double tapped NATO military personnels in Sumy.

The Russians heavily bombarded a NATO staging ground in Sumy. They immediately called in Medivacs.

Russia then bombed the helicopters along with the wounded.

Like I said, they can come freely, like they have been coming, but they will never leave alive. cool Russia has increased its OSINT capabilities, and it would be fool-hardy if the pigmies cum bureaucrats in NATO thinks Russia don't know or see what they're up to in the southern and western parts of Ukraine.

Those other relatively peaceful nations you mentioned didn't take the religion as serious you assume. eg Qatar, Jordan, UAE and Saudi Arabia. They are not as interested in any holy war to fight and kill any infidels like the bloodthirsty Arabs in those troubled nations.

Your post amuse me, but they solely represent your personal opinions and Assumption. International politics and religion are matters far more intricate and significant than individual viewpoints.

The funny thing is that, the whole of Israel, no reach half of Lughansk Republic in donbas. Imagine if Iran lunches 100 missiles in a day add it up with Hezbollah plus hamas, within one week Israel will become devastated.

Ukraine in war generate more power than Nigeria at peace time. This make me ask, is power generation and distribution a rocket science?
Stop this absurd comparison.

Show me one power generating facility that modern Ukraine built?
Everything that Ukraine have was built and financed by Russia.
From the Russian empire to the Soviet Russia.
Everything.

In as much as a despise the Nigerian government and their lack of vision, I still won't make such comparison.

⚛ NUCLEAR EMERGENCY IN POLAND AFTER RUSSIAN KH-47 KINŽHAL HYPERSONIC MISSILE ATTACK:

17 billion cubic meters of natural gas blown up near Lvov.

At dawn, Russia achieved the largest strategic strike in Ukraine in history, when it destroyed the largest underground gas storage in Bilche-Volitsko-Uher in the city of Stryjak near Ľvov with Kh-47 Kinzhal supersonic missiles and Kh-101 cruise missiles, along with 17 billion cubic meters stored gas.

The attack came from three different sides. The destruction of natural gas, combined with Russia's inability to supply new gas, means that Ukraine is "done" from an energy perspective.


A total of eight MiG-31 fighters carrying Kinzhal and Kh-101 aircraft hit the stack, causing a nuclear-like mushroom cloud visible from Poland, 100 km from the Ukrainian border.

The tank was located at a depth of 50 meters from the surface of the earth, which did not prevent Kinžal from going through the stony ground "like a knife through butter" and exploding into the tank.

In Poland, radiation measurements began after what initially appeared to be a nuclear attack there, but this has not been confirmed.

The country currently has less than half of its gas reserves, and after the destruction of the reservoir, it cannot even be supplied from the European market.

Attack your enemy when he least expect. I don't expect Iran to attack the Impostors now.
There are several rules of engagement.

Remember when Iran struck Pakistan?
Did Pakistan wait for weeks before they respond?

Yes, they're calculating the retaliation for any strike that'll be coming from the Israellis, this is why they need a deterrence and they need it fast.
Time is running and if Iran thinks they can stand the west like Russia is doing then they're mistaken.
