LordAdam16:
here's the interesting part

a few days back, us media was mouthing off about their military plans for ground invasions
one was to establish a makeshift base where they would pave a runway and airlift excavators
in a bid to extract iranian enriched uranium

guess where they planned to establish this base?

same isfahan where they just lost four aircrafts

they had already telegraphed this move last week

---

there is some legitimacy to the musings by some commentators
that the events of this weekend have all been part of masked attempts at ground incursions
or at the very least, they are testing elements of or how to proceed with a ground invasion

-Lord

I read omething like that too but I dismissed it, thinking no amount of guts can make them try that suicide mission. Now it seems likely especially with the sacking of so many generals.

Iran: We shot down F-15 jets.
US: They went down in friendly fire.

Iran: We attacked the USS Gerald Ford.
US: Fire started in a laundry room.

Iran: We shot down F-15Es.
US: CENTCOM denies it.

Iran: We shot down rescue planes.
US: We destroyed them ourselves

Wait oooh, why can’t the USA military just accept that Iran military hit them, at least The Russia military admitted many times but never USA or Ukraine.

They even denied the latest F-15 shoot down until they found out the pilots were in Iran

LordAdam16:
they said helicopter was stuck in the mud

helicopter and mud for desert

mk these people fear oluwa
today na easter sunday!

🤣😂😀

-Lord

The only thing there is to find out now is whether US soldiers were smoked off the air or they took a hit, landed, and then destroyed the aircrafts as they left Iran.

There was no mud there and there is no logic behind landing two C-130s in the desert unless they took damage and had no other choice.

I believe the aircrafts were hit by maybe manpads and were damaged and unable to continue with the mission.

Not even a fuuuullll will believe sand made 2 aircrafts unable to fly and also made 2 helicopters unable to fly.

This is the most likely scenario.

Dem dey celebrate Russia equipment losses, e reach their turn dem wan gaslight us to believe say e no matter.

Who be mumu?

As US don lose more military equipments in 34 days than Russia wey dey fight for 4 years, e good for una eye?

Make una better start dey panic because if this war last another 6 months, US go dey beg Ukraine to borrow them equipment.

Iran dey burn through US weapons too fast. Not sustainable.

6 months is a massive, massive stretch

This is the 'mud' that the C-130 plane and the helicopters were supposedly stuck in. You be the judge. That said, the first rescue is understandable given the location, but the second one is a disgrace for Iran.

⚡Telegraph reports that China has sent 4 ships carrying chemicals used to produce missile fuel to Iran.

Analysts assess that these shipments could theoretically allow Iran to produce hundreds of additional ballistic missiles.

They should send some finished missiles too

erniok:
If it mad3 it back to the base, then it was not shot down as he claimed.

Yes but it's unlikely that it will fly another mission anytime soon

Mikasaobi:
The one thing we are learning from this war is, if the USA fights Russia or china it’ll be a disaster for the USA. It won’t even be a fair fight.

If nor for theother objectives that Russia has, I would have said Putin should abandon the SMO and let USA build as many bases as it wants.

Mikasaobi:
The refuelling happened at the border region, then the helicopters used the terrain for a low level penetration. Pictures of the helicopters in Iran confirmed they were flying low.

Iran eventually shot them down so what’s the fuss about.

Exactly. It also turned out that both A10s were hit but one of them made it back to base.

Or the Somali pirates who were hijacking ships for ransom.

The strait of Hormuz doesn't belong to Iran. Two countries UAE and Oman border the Straits on the southern side.
That tells you that Iran is the problem .

Why are you blockading Cuba?

Alamkiir:
BREAKING:

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Initial reports that another US F-16 fighter jet was shot down over Iran tonight

It’s still unconfirmed, but wreckage photos have surfaced

Not shot down. The engine's discroproburator overheated, loosening the trisphenic kinkilator that helps the excorcisous filter to keep stray evil spirits from flying into the engines.

On a serious note, I hope it is true

23jerryking:
Would the pilots be retired as well? Hell no, they take that experience to the next mission, do you know how much damage these jets have done since the start of the war? How many did Iran manage to shoot down? How many pilots have they captured and used as leverage?
Machines are many in the garage.

I've told you before. Until recently, they have been firing from outside Iranian airspace. Now that their JASSMs and Tomahawks are running low, they are flying into Iranian airspace. I believe you can see how that is turning out for them.

23jerryking:
Thank God you already come out clean by stating the obvious 😂😂😂. Would you obey the oder if you happen to be one of the troops? I should carry manpad in broad daylight and do what even machines are hiding to do🤣🤣.

Manpad no be cutlass wet u go dey carry around na
Complex SAMS emit radar signatures. A camouflaged man shooting out of nowhere doesn't

23jerryking:
Hitting cannot count as achievements, actual shot down should be the main thing. The fact that they could even go in the first place says a lot.

What's this guy saying? Do you think they land after taking a hit and go on another mission the next day? Most of them would take months or years to fix. Some will even be retired for good.

Hmmm na wetin I dey reason since.

See as helicopters just dey fly pass unchallenged.

If Iran no correct am quick, they'll be smoked really hard.

Iran's geographical advantage is a double-edged sword. The landmass and mountains allows enemy aircrafts to move around if they fly low enough.
Iran has also lost many long-range radars and their more powerful SAMs are slower to set up and too vulnerable to counter attacks.
For now, they rely on popping out of mountains, firing at aircrafts with light missiles, and hiding again.

What my bloody civilian head thinks is that they should further spread their troops around the country and arm them with manpads. Make them second-guess every inch they move inside Iran

"Crashes"

These people take us for fuuuulllsss.

But it crashed na. The pilot forgot to off the gas cooker after frying eggs while bombing Iran

Initial reports of a downed— sorry, crashed A10

From sacking generals to losing jets and critical assets; everything they have mocked Russia over has happened to them in just one month.

Didn't Fani Willis proudly publish this one?
Prisoners of War are not fugitives. There are international coventions that guide how POWs are treated.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

An F-16 is sending distress calls.

shoodboi2:
US news networks are reporting that Iran shot down a US jet. They obviously couldn’t deny this one unlike the previous ones

They attempted to find the pilot by flying low with helicopters but they have been forced to retreat. Some reports are saying one of the helicopters was hit.

It's crystal clear now that USA is running out of stand off missiles. They have no choice but to be flying deep into Iranian airspace.

basilico:
What separates the savages from the civilized.
If the Iranians get to the American pilots they will parade them on TV.
Something the western armies would never do.

Saddam did that. Hamas does that.
Savagery at it's worst, it's like they are bereft of humanity ,like they haven't fully evolved.
Yet they are the same ones who complain when their captured fighters don't get 3 course meals.

Sp what about what you did to Maduro? Isn't that savagery?

Masterviolence:
What about the supposed friendly fire?

What and the tankers that supposedly collided?

I believe those ones were cleaned up. I can't remember seeing any image

After France joined Russia and China to veto a UN resolution concerning the strait of Hermuz, Iran let a French ship pass the strait today
