SportsRe: Legendary Nigerian Goalkeeper, Peter Rufai Is Dead by optimusprime2(m): 5:44am On Jul 04, 2025
Jamesukaegbu:
No he isn't. Vincent enyeama remains nigerias best goalkeeper
I get your point, however his status is legendary,
He assisted in getting Nigeria the AFCON, & he assisted in securing Nigeria two worldcup round of 16 appearances back to back USA 94 & France 98... something Enyeama did only once despite Enyeama's longer spell with the SE's.

Give him his flowers...

So he married at age 20, ok o. Wishing him and his wife many more years of marital bliss and speedy recovery from his injury
Yes he actually got married rather early because his professional career kicked off pretty early- when he signed for Liverpool in 2015, well owing to the fact that the money entered very early, he was probably advised to have his wife early & settle, so that errrm temptation doesn't arise and catch him off guard.

A good choice if you ask me.

Foreign AffairsRe: Iran Admits Nuclear Facilities ‘badly Damaged’ By US Strikes by optimusprime2(m): 11:11am On Jun 26, 2025
DrAda:
I am sure Donald is pleased by this report. CNN insists that the bombs did not hit any nuclear facility so this news massages Donald's ego and rhetoric.

Thinking about it now, Donald reporting that Israel took a massive hit made the Iranians very happy. Likewise Iran admitting that the bombs did some damage to their nuclear facilities supports Donald's narrative. Kinda funny how both parties who are strong advocates of propaganda are suddenly turning into faux journalists and releasing news that are not to their favour.

Meanwhile people are dying, no thanks to this actors causing chaos and despair
Bro you should know na,

Of course CNN was trying to generate or spread a Narrative that Iran was hit for nothing, as "according to CNN" no nuclear sites was even targeted or hit by the bombing... with that kind of narrative, everyone would have said " ah, Trump said hitting Iraq was a lie due to false claims of weapons of mass destruction, now he has done the same thing in Iran"

That narrative alone is enough to provoke political unrest internally and push a democrat agenda and equally inspire unhealthy coalitions externally.

The fact remains that Iran were indeed close to having Nuclear weapon capabilities and the US had to intervene indeed... it is important that Trump establishes that the B2 bombing was a surgical and strategic strike... which he has done.

Whether Iran & Israel argue about Victor's and losers, the main thing is that Iran must not acquire nuclear weapon abilities to ensure the region remains peaceful & for once, everyone: NATO, The gulf region, China , Russia etc are happy that Irans nuclear ambitions have been at the least retarded with their current regime.

O boy see as trucks lined up carrying enriched uranium away from the site. Nentayahu and his big Daddy, Trump were fooled big time, Lol. And to think Trump was thumbing his chest after the strikes. This war has really exposed Isreal on all fronts including their intelligence which had been touted as the best. Intelligence that couldn't detect this movements?.
Iran vs Isreal one on one.. Iran finishes Isreal before 12 O'clock on a Monday morning.
On the contrary sir, I think it was because of this intel that the whole operation was carried out in the first place.

how fast are they?
Cant the radar system of the target locking mechanism be confused with intense and false signals?
There must be a solution?
Once again brilliant question.

So these missiles go at Mach 5, meaning 5 times the speed of sound: standard sonic speed= 1235km/h +/-, therefore 1235km/h x5 =6175 km/h

If a missile moves at 6175 km/h then the reaction speed of a control system to change its direction should be in the range of milliseconds.

Drone swarms can also have a control reaction time in milliseconds however the issue is to match the speed of a ballistic missile, the drones should use rocket propulsion... assuming a control and communication system can control a rocket propelled drone swarm, the cost of pulling that off would be insane

CodeTemplarr:
Hmmm. Thats why they plan well ahead and go for the decisive blows immediately the balls are set rolling. If isreal were to employ similar tactics as Iran, then things will be much more messier for the Iranians.

Isreal is very small and so a bruteforce approach from iran will likely hit juicy targets. Israel's defence is also very expensive. Asides these major disadvantages, i see fewer ways Iran can gravely hurt Israel.

I wonder why Israel hasnt figured out a way to take down more of Iran's zigzag missiles. Something like a curtain of drones should do that. A curtain of drones that identifies direction of incoming missile barrages and just rises to form a curtain, then employ bruteforce in reverse to shoot down the missiles. That should be cheaper than iron dome. Even Ukraine needs such too.
I like how you think, your suggestion was super brilliant... do you have an engineering background?

Anyway if Iran was sending drones, then using a drone swarm like you suggested to intercept could have been a solution.

However Iran is firing Hypersonic ballistic missiles, and the speed and operation of such missiles would make Drone swarms or a drone curtain pretty much useless;

1. Speed: Ballistic missiles are way much faster

2. The kill vehicles of Ballistic missiles have the ability to change or alter direction. So due to the high speeds they move, the control algorithms of the kill vehicles have a short response time when compared with the control algorithms of drones

3. When Ballistic missiles are fired they change trajectory several times especially after going into the atmosphere making them difficult to intercept

4. Lastly the explosive warheads on Ballistic missiles are usually target locked, most of them don't just explode on impact but rather explode upon target lock validation.

Foreign AffairsRe: Israel Spending $285 Million A Night On Missile Defense In Iran War (pics) by optimusprime2(m): 4:34pm On Jun 19, 2025
GameGod:
Without doubt, Israel can never take Iran 1v1. Never

Israel is roughly the size of New Jersey, while Iran has a massive stockpile of missiles.

I saw a video on TikTok where a former CIA director claimed that Iran could flatten Israel in a single day.

It makes me wonder what's holding Iran back.
I will try to answer your question which I emboldened in a summary,

Before the breakdown analysis, it is important to note Israel has the advanced aircraft capable of longer range flights, with payload

Now moving forward;

Iran's estimated ballistic missile stockpile is stated to be about 3000.

The aerial distance between israel and Iran is between 1800km and 2000km depending on the city to city.

Iran's missile stockpile consist of short range, med ium range and long range.

Long range missiles (1800km - 2000km) are required to hit Israel.

Out of the 3000 estimated stockpile it is estimated that about 2000 of them are long range.

Meanwhile, it is important to know Iran has a missile production rate of; 50 Missiles per month.


Now let's get to the state of play currently


Israel shot down their missile production sites last year and crippled their 50 Missiles per month production rate, deploying their advanced aircraft to seek and target.

In reply Iran fired 370 missiles at Israel between April - October 2024...

(Take note, their missile replenish rate has been temporarily disabled)

2000 - 370 = 1630

Between the last 6 days, about 450 Missiles have been fired

1630 - 450 = 1180


Israel deployed aircraft and targeted some long range missile reserves and long range missile launchers of Iran over the last few days, degrading their ability to sustain firing. The exact number of Iranian missiles blown are unknown.

However it has been observed that Iran's missile barrages have significantly reduced especially since Israel has been targeting their long range launchers.


As it stands now Israel's "Arrow air defence system" is functioning at a higher optimum due to reduced firing rates.

Reference

https://jinsa.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Iranian-Ballistic-Missile-Estimates-6-16-25-5.pdf

Iran's options of attacking if missile channels are crippled;

1. Using proxies (Israel has suffocated Hamas and Hezbolah already)

2. Attack US forces within the region with short range ballistic missiles (Nobody understands Trumps language now so it's a dumb idea to do it)

3. Attack friends of the US within the region (same issue with Trump, and totally spoil regional diplomacy that was already an issue)

4. Block the straits of Hormuz (more like shoot yourself)


Yes, they are really pressed hard now...


This war is about aerial superiority not regular military warfare and Israel absolutely dominates Iran on this regard.

Dogalmighty17:
US is entering war based on what Trump watched on fox news. Trump's own NIA chief, Tulsi Gabbard has said the US doesn't have any intel indicating that Iran is on the verge of break out capability in its nuclear program. Trump has jettisoned the findings of the NIA and said he'll follow his guts.

Israel's unprovoked attack against Iran will forever be remembered.
So what is Iran doing with 60% Uranium at this time??

I know you want to sound diplomatic or politically correct, but what business does Iran have with those levels of Uranium at this timehuh ??

Please ask the right questions.


If Iran has a Nuke, so will Saudi, UAE, Qatar, Oman even Egypt and the power dynamics of a region already as caustic as the gulf will become chaos.

Don't forget the fact that, Iran openly patronizes terrorist groups like Hamas, Hezbolah and the Houthis.

No sane person will allow Iran get a Nuke given the current conditions and its not just about Israel.

SportsRe: Super Eagles Watchlist: 10 Foreign-Based Stars Eligible For Nigeria by optimusprime2(m): 2:41pm On Jun 11, 2025
The only most likely individual with the possibility of playing for the SE on that list is Tosin Adarabioyo.

Apart from that no chance, with the following reasons
1. Any person who plays the 9 position and expects to feature for the SE team, can forget it, the striker dept is totally full. Except the individual boasts of some exceptional abilities like being able to play midfield, takes mad set-pieces & is both footed, I mean Ousmane Dembele type of shii ... otherwise nothing.


2. Etan Nwanneri is more likely to don the 3 lions than any team.

3. The other players listed have multiple options which have more competitive advantage; take Koleosho for example who can play for 3 other countries besides Nigeria (The case of Michael Olise)

Proof of collusion to undertake acts of terrorism.

Proof of actualising terrorism.

Witness testimony and abundance of evidence.

Government's proscription.

Surveillance and documentation.
If what you listed can be termed as Hard facts,
then as you earlier stated, Political proof is relative.

Which is why I am not surprised you easily wrote off the testimonial of a Nigerian Government official about El Rufai as "Beer Parlor gossip".

I've said again, that mere allegations from political actors does not cut it.

Hard incontrovertible evidence is what we deal with here.

El-Rufai is a politician from the north, of course, it's easy for every crime relating to either his religion or region be used against him in the political arena.

Yet, we need facts and not beer parlour gossip.
Going by your logic, what are terrorism hard facts if citizen statements are deemed "Beer parlor gossip"
