Iran practically is next door to Russia but US has to travel several kilometres to reach Israel.

There's poor strategic thinking if the support of US to Israel is compared to Russia supporting Iran, it is obviously skewed against the Americans and Isreal.

This is why diplomacy is the best option and they should have seen this strategic disadvantage before murdering of Haniyeh.
Nah bro...geographical proximity or lack of it is not a deciding factor in skirmishes. For instance, you need to understand that US has bases in the middle East, Europe and Asia to respond immediately to any threat, those military bases have been there long before recent existential threats. They also cannot be taken by surprise as most of these super powers including the US spend a lot of money on gathering intelligence and have too many options at their disposal in the event of any direct or indirect threats.
The only challenge in modern warfare is you have to think and weigh the options that will result in less collateral damages but effective enough to deliver the message ( and I am talking about all the actors that will want to jump into this)🤔
Note, Israel 🇮🇱 has not taken any responsibilities or denied for the elimination of Haniyeh deep inside Iran.
if Iran then proceeds to strike Israel on the basis of suspicion without a proof then we may see some tough retaliatory measures from Israel. I don't see a DIRECT CONFRONTATION between Russia and the US anytime soon

I think this news about Russia helping Iran is more political than security and it is done to merely put a farce on Russia support to silence those in Iran elite who might start criticizing Russia and going against her pally with Iran given the fact that Iran have been helping Russia with weapons in Ukraine and a reciprocal is expected.
Russia wanted revenge for the mall bombing.
It's done several deals with USA behind the scenes to the extent Ukraine khazarians capitulated.
The revenge was likely the assassinations.
Iran is screwed because they're dumb.

Re: Russia Sends Air Defences To Iran by wallrichy: 10:01am On Aug 06, 2024
You are perfectly right. If they actually have capable weapons, how come they are yet to end the confrontation of Ukraine since over a year now. How come they have been depending on Iran for drones and some other weapons to fight small Ukraine. They are joking.....



Botragelad:
Russia, a dependable ally? what a farce! Where were they when Israel took out Ismail Haniyeh and those Iranian nuclear scientist? Probably too busy sipping vodka to notice. Let's get real.

Russia's idea of 'support' is sending outdated weapons,etc to their mates and hoping for the best. And since the USA is the bogeyman, they'll inevitably arm Iran, just like the USA is doing in Ukraine.

The real question, of course, is whether these weapons will be anything more than a joke when the mighty Israeli and US war machines come storming in and reduce Iran's key facilities to smoldering rubble just like Russia's currency/economy. Lol

Now, have a look at the photos, would you? That's what a reliable ally looks like - not Russia. If Iran were as confident as they claim, they'd have taken a shot at Israel by now instead of begging for air defence handouts from Russia.

I mean, take a look at the aircraft carriers and warships the US have deployed to the Middle East, that's some serious firepower! And let's be real, Russia's weapons are little more than toys compared to that lot.
Iran knows it, they're just putting on a show for their supporters. Try taking on Israel directly, and see what happens. The Houthis can tell you all about it... if they can stop crying about their last thrashing!😂

If Iran mistakenly send any missile that lands in Tel Aviv, consider Ayetola a dead man, and consider the rest of Iran a desert, this is no jokes. Follow IDF and Halezi to understand better.



I wish Iran restrains itself for peace to reign, but if Iran allow senseless Moslem fanatics to push them to strike Tel Aviv, then the whole world will quiver at how Iran will be reset to Persian era grin

Its not skewed against them, America can deliver missiles in less than 24 hours to Israel.

Check WW2, and tell me how Japan with numbered soldiers left their Ireland to conquer many Southern Asian countries.

You should not be warning Iran if you want to defeat it. Making threats is a sign of weakness in this case.

Russia is a more dependable ally than the US. Ask Assad ask Venezuela. The US uses and dumps - Ask Sadaam, Ask Japan etc. If Russia is as weak as you people say why does NATO exist? I hope you know Russia won the WW2 not the Allies? Till date Russia on a military level is the only deterrent to the US Military Hegemony? China is the economic deterrent. Read and analyze please. It is a pity that the country that is responsible for the highest level of conflict since her conception is being lauded for freedom. However he who controls the media is God. Peace

If you have a spiritual understanding of the hour and season we are in, you know that there is no going back on WW3, this is not like any other news. The 400 years of captivity of people stolen and enslaved in Africa is completed. The prohesy says Babylon (America and all the land of his dominion) The world is about to experience a tribulation that has never been seen.

Please read Daniel Chapter 2 and understand it. Put your house in order it's about to go down, hunger, death (war) and pestilence, the message was unambiguous in the ongoing opening ceremony of the Olympic games.

Jeremiah 51

11 Make bright the arrows; gather the shields: the LORD hath raised up the spirit of the kings of the Medes: for his device is against Babylon, to destroy it; because it is the vengeance of the LORD, the vengeance of his temple.

28 Prepare against her the nations with the kings of the Medes, the captains thereof, and all the rulers thereof, and all the land of his dominion.

That's right. Stop trying to suck up to people assassinating your high level presidents and officials. It's an embarrassment to everyone to watch, much like watching turkiye and the sauds after they were assassinated.

America defeated Germany thousands of kilometers from them, and Germany was not a rag tag terrorist group like Iran. It was the world power then.

if Russia ever imported drones from Iran, could be at the very early stage of the conflict. That's because Russia have set up multiple Drone manufacturing plannt right on Russian soil. Need I remind you, Russia and USA are 2 countriies with highest and Advanced weapons manufacturer and Russia's weapons industry is obviously much larger than USA.



Don't forget, Israel has got friends (other countries). Recall not quite long ago, Iran embarrased israel by sending drones to israel and a lot of countries helped israel shot most of the down.
USA knew what they were doing by having footprints in several countries. Israel is going to rely on those.

Iran is far from Israel so a lot of their missles & drones would have to travel over other countries. Russia got advantage when fighting thhe WEST (including USA) in that they are so large most of her enemies could be reached very directly. Those they can't reach directly, they would rely on their strategiic friend Belarus which is more like an extension of Russia. BUT unfortunately for Iran, Russia ain't fighting Israel, only shipping them equipment. Russia is even friends with both Israel and Iran, just that the bond with Iran is kinda stronger than that with Israel hence Russia remains nuetral.


Something some people in here seem not to understand. Russia is both friend to Iran and Israel.


The support from Russia ain't equal with Support from USA.

USA is friends to just Israel and hostile to Iran hence complete Support for Israel BUT Russia is friends to both Israel and Iran hence sort of neutral. Make another country come attack Belarus first.


in terms of Weapons industry, Russia is much bigger than the WEST. and have even further increased since start of conflict with Ukraine + they're selling to Iran, not donating to them
Stop embarrassing yourself online, the US has the largest defence industry in the world, highest manufacturers of weapons highest exporters of military weapons.

US doesn’t need to travel several kilometres to reach the Mediterranean Sea. They have a lot of military assets and capabilities already deployed in their bases in the Middle East. Their assets are simply being redeployed. That is what military bases can do for the US.

Don’t forget those assets are offensive and defensive in nature. The batteries of Russian defensive capabilities will first be targeted.

So Iran doesn't even have air defence system upon all the noise? It means any message from Isreal aircrafts and ballistic missiles will be well delivered, signed and stamped.

They better think twice, Russia is at war and will have limited donations to make
You just spoke my mind. Imagine, making threats and serious noise all this while without having any advance defence system.

Misyarning kids! You didn't know that the US and Soviet have always supported opposite sides in all the wars Israel has fought with the jihadi middle eastern countries since 1948?

How come these yeye strategic disadvantages haven't manifested till now?

How come the US and Israel have always come out victorious, and the Soviet/Russia-Jihadists alliance always lost?

You jihadists like giving yourselves some false moral boosts and hopes.

A Russia that's still struggling in Ukraine after over 2yrs of a useless, unnecessary war of oppression and intimidation is in no position to save you jihadists. Again, Russia is also dealing with her own jihadists in Chechnya, just as China is dealing with hers in Uighurs, and India with her own in Kashmir. Nigeria's own is in northern and southwestern Nigeria. Many countries have this burden of jihadists and terrorism.

What will save you guys is to stop your terroristic teachings in the mosques, remove terror inspiring verses in the Quran like Surah 9:5, embrace peace and tolerate members of other religions.
You are talking rubbish. What happened in Vietnam war when the soviet supported them. Didn't they chase americans out? What about Cuban missile crisis. Didn't Russia shoot down American Bombar? What happened? Nothing

Don't underestimate Russia. I put it to you. Take out NATO Russia will bleed America in all out war. Hollywood actually made us to believe there myth that much. Russia is the father of space science. Argue witj facts or make i drop them for you
