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.

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
What does friend mean ?you keep repeating that nonsense
what does it means in terms of military cooperation?
Is Russia an enemy of South Korea
The bottom line is interest
Israel does not serve Russian interest

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
Idiot, we're talking about the middle east where jihadists live with Israel, not Vietnam and Cuba.

Do you think that the distance will make a difference should US decide to support Israel in a regional war? Their logistics is next level and Israel on their own is more than capable of handling the Iranian military and more on their own. Should this turn out to be a big conflict Iran is going to lose very hard!

Poor thinking US already has military bases in all those regions:Saudi Arabia, Djibouti ,UAE, Kuwait, Bahrain ,Syria,iraq,Oman,jordan & turkey
They have aircrafts carriers, submarines in d Mediterranean sea and Arabian sea.

You just spoke my mind. Imagine, making threats and serious noise all this while without having any advance defence system.
I am shocked! this is akin to committing suicide!
Israel is far more superior than Iran in both offensive and defensive capabilities.

Iran is only superior in having more number of tanks and 10 times as much number of Israelis soldiers. But Israeli has more advanced tanks than Iran. They are far from each other, so having more number of tanks and vast number of soldiers have zero advantage.

But Israel has F15 , F16 and the most advanced, stealth fighter jet in the world - F35, not to talk of nuclear weapon, and superior allies.

High budget air defence system was penetrated by Chinese balloons
Stop this self deceit it is not by the budget size
We know how much was spent in Afghanistan to achieve NOTHING
Russia is more than70% the size of Africa
Israel is 70% the size of AKWA IBOM

No air defence system can cover Russia entirely
And it is NATO together with Ukraine not Ukraine alone

Good time to be a military contractor.

What services can you render?
Supply of weapons
Supply of logistics
Supply of support services

Contractors and subcontractors are cashing out massively.

Also check the trend analysis stock prices of major weapon manufacturers across the globe and thank me later, for example Lockheed Martin, Boeing etc

Whilst the idiot majority are vocal taking sides on the conflict, the silent minority are busy cashing out on the blood and sweat of their fellow humans. What a system!

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!😂

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
it's not even that they don't have a defence system, it's that the ones that Russia have promised to send to them won't be able to counter Israel's Aerial fire power and is no where comparable to iron Dome. Ukraine with a piss poor aerial power have been sending drones and missiles into Russia with good success rate. Russia can't give what they don't have.

NATO is not involved in the offensive in Ukraine. NATO only contribute money for Ukraine and willing individual nations within NATO send weapons.

It’s a different ball games when all disparate military assets in NATO coordinate and attack Russia. Russia knows this.
Re: Russia Sends Air Defences To Iran by Originalsly: 10:53am On Aug 06, 2024
We will see US running to China ... to get assurance that China will not get involved. We will see the US running to the UN .. to prevent Russia from sending advanced missiles to Iran that cause a threat to Israel and insecurity in the region. What was being downplayed is that Russia and China have been having joint war games where as the two can quickly and easily unite as one force. The US fears that in any conflict ... they are a confident force against Russia ... but not at all if Russia gets the backing of China. If China does not give that assurance ... only then the US will genuinely seek peace and rein in Israel. Would Russia send hypersonic missiles to Iran? That will have Israel shivering and the US trembling because it can easily penetrate the Iron Dome or whatever defence system. Let the wailing begin.

Proximity or geographical advantage not poor strategic thinking .
Your choice of words reflects the picture and state of your mind- a biased embittered one.
Talking of strategy, never known a military with poor strategic judgment like the current Russian military. You guys term Putin a chess master, but he’s currently piloting one of the clumsiest operations in history.

Air defences that have been helpless in Russia controlled Crimea. It's not about those s300 and s400. It's all about sending a message that Iran is not alone. Those air defence are not cutting edge.

So you don’t know US pretend to the whole world that she’s seeking peace, meanwhile she is willing to respond in a devastating manner against any attack and she will term it “reactionary”.

Don’t be deceived, US is having Iran firmly placed on her radar. Those fighter jets deployed by the US are not toys, that’s an extreme, overwhelming fire power,

No military in the whole world can confront the US in its current deadly state. Be careful what you wish for.

I'm not surprised by this move from Russia, Iran has been helping Russia with weapons for some time now, a major dependable ally for Russia as they continue to supply Russia with missiles and drones to fight Ukraine


Middle east will soon explode into chaos






I wholeheartedly agree with you
Dont forget that the US have military bases all the world.... !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That’s not 100% involvements.

If NATO military boots are on the ground and are using their different military assets in a coordinated manner against Russia, then that’s Nato in play.

Right now, their contributions are so fringe.

If you want Russia to feel the full weight of NATO, let it intentionally hit any NATO nation with missiles, then the playground will change. Before you mention Russia nuclear weapon, don’t forget that UK, France and US possess nuclear weapons on their triad as well.

What aerial fire power does Israel have? Many of you like to talk nonsense
What is the distance from Israel to Iran?
So what will they send?
Bombers or Misssiles?

How many sorties can Israel fly daily
Stop all this nebulous gibberish

Israel cannot sustain flying aircraft to Iran daily a distance of over 2000 kilometres i

That will not be a meaningful war
They can only achieve successful strikes when they are unexpected for tactical effect

Israel is tiny
70^ the size of Akwa Ibom
Its so called firepower is the USA
it cannot defeat Iran and there are other players in the neighbourhood that are unpredictable

You claim to know everything when in actual fact you know nothing. The US has military bases both naval and air bases all around the Middle-East with hundreds of modern fighters jets, drones, warships etc. So stop exposing your acute ignorance and face your shameless, clueless, hopeless and useless Tinubu government that you support.

Guy rest abeg
If NATO is not involved Ukraine will not last one month
we saw the full weight of NATO in Afghanistan

If Russia hits a NATO country nothing will happen

NOTHING
Russia is now at war with NATO already

Go and look at a map and compare the size of NATO in Europe to Russia

The only direct confrontation will be nuclear

Russia will not waste time on conventional war with NATO

You are probably right strategically. But all that didn't matter during the 6-day war when Israel overcame the Arab alliance. Israel is obviously not interested in diplomacy; it actually aims to totally destroy Hamas as promised by targeting important leaders; thereby weakening the organization. Israel is out for revenge and blood! But as an pan-africanist; seriously, I am disinterested in Gaza war as far as nuclear weapons are not used.
