Re: Russia Sends Air Defences To Iran by BlackLaw:
Like we don't know Israel by-pass Russia's supposed S400 defence systems to hit Syria at will.
Or we don't know Ukraine makes mince meat of Russia's air defence systems.

Russia is only encouraging Iran to go at Israel to open a new front against the west and take pressure off them in Ukraine.

It would be too bad if Iran agrees to be cannon folder.

History of warfare against Israel does not bode well for neighbours.

Russia bigger than the the west In terms of military?. What are you smoking Bro?.

Russia outside nukes won't stand a chance against US in any way,most of their techs are obsolete. No dey cap wetin you know know abeg.
Well right now they are firing ARTILLERY at each other in Ukraine
The entire West cannot match Russia in artillery
Russia won't stand a chance? But the Viet Cong did?
The Taliban did?
You are theone that needs a reality check
Tell us any significant military victory the USA has achieved in the last 50 years
They can only pick on tiny countries Like Iraq

If they could not defeat the Taliban they cannot defeat Russia that has the capacity to hit them at home
Simple truth is both countries know the truth and will avoid war
Study history when such nations fight an entirely different country will benefit in this case


China!

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 I disagree bro, a good student of history will know that these things are not as simple as proximity.

The six day war and the 1973 war are cases in point where Israel with the backing of the US took on and defeated a numerically superior Arab force armed and supplied by the Soviets.

Bear in mind that Russia is currently engaged in Ukraine and it's arms have been shown to be dodgy against the relatively outdated equipments supplied to Ukraine by the West.

A regional war would hurt Israel but I don't see how Iran survives it.

When did they tell you that?.

Same Russia with a weak economy of less than 2 trillion dollars?.

Anyways,Russia a Christian state is the last hope of you jihadists,so what do I know.
You know Ukraine is partnering with Isis and Al-Qaida, right ?
You know the USA created, trained, funded and used jihadis in Afghanistan and Chechnya and Syria and Libya right ?
You are a little bit confused, you are the one whom is on the same side with jihadis, not me.

How can artillery be your measurement of military firepower? You need to detach emotions, sit down and do some basic research to understand these things.

Anyone can lose a Guerilla warfare. Russia or the Soviets as they then were, lost to the same Taliban you've just mentioned (when Russia invaded Afghanistan).
The Americans took over Afghanistan within 30 days but had issues holding down the resulting insurgency. That's normal.

Move over to Ukraine, we see a situation where Western missile systems from the 80s are penetrating Russian defences. Old defence systems such as the Patriot are taking down Russia's most advanced missiles and aircrafts.

Even the artillery that you mentioned, Russia has to rely on China and North Korea for supplies.

Russia's advantage in Ukraine is mostly about quantity, not quality.
And this advantage can easily be removed if the west agrees to transfer better equipments to Ukraine and remove restrictions on their use within Russia.

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 at all deceived. How long has the US been trying to "contain" Iran? ... having it in position where it cannot defend itself militarily? .. where it can be easily invaded if necessary? ...the reason why Iran is demonized? Wasn't it then same strategy used for Iraq? ... and Libya? ... demonize and find an excuse to invade? North Korea ... same thing... they must not have nuclear weapons to deter attacks ... we must be able to attack them without significant retaliation. Iran ...they are a threat to Israel ... let's see if we can start a war by drawing them directly into the Gaza conflict. As a country ... they stayed out. Israel is being used same as Ukraine. Attack Lebanon ... that's their friend and a sovereign state ...maybe they'll bite the bait. They kept out. Well let's launch a direct assault on their soil... which they did. Their retaliation would then be construed as an attack which requires a heavy response and achieve the objective... to go to war with Iran Now Russia is sending advanced defense systems .... this is a wrench thrown in the wheel ... did not cater for this. Now what?... would North Korea also send weapons? Proxy war in the making... the US nor Israel does not want peace... they want to conquer. Israel now has to think of the damage Russia can do to their infrastructure..... especially the Ben Gurion Canal project ... their future major income earner . ... war mongering Biden is out ... but he got then assurance that Kamala will continue on his foreign policy path ... to destroy Iran and ensure Putin must become a puppet ... do as I say or be punished. One World Order in effect and we don't recognize.

US is sending warships and fighter jets to the middle east to defend israel, now Russia is also arming their ally


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
You have no clue and idea of what you saying
Have you seen the size of the US globe master aircraft and it's extremely short take off capabilities
When they land 5times, you are extremely armed to the teeth
Have you seen an aircraft carrier 😂😂
They are sending 2 strike group , 2 subs in a group
Have been graced to see the USS Harry Truman in 2016
Of the coast of Ghana it was like Lagos on water😂
Over 60 jets and aboard
And you talking of a dying Russia
When Ukraine is taking out S500 with old ATACAMS

lol, so Iran's military is a rag tag to you, a country that is close to having its own nuclear weapons
Oh yes.

Hezbollah have also been touted to be "close to having their own nuclear weapons,"

Also, rag tagged because they have to depend on Russia for their air defense system, when Russia depends on Israel for their own air defense systems too. grin grin

Rag tagged too because the army they are trying to fight (Israel) are not "close to" but have developed so much nuclear arms that they have perfected the art of it in a way that they can boast of the ability to clear the world.

Now you see why they are rag tagged? cheesy cheesy cheesy

Re: Russia Sends Air Defences To Iran by Rupertek: 12:44pm On Aug 06, 2024
I disagree with you. There a limit to what Russia can do in support of Iran. Russia is embroiled in a war with Ukraine already and doesn't possess the capacity at the moment to fully support Iran the way it would have wished. They need support of their own..
You are not saying that Isreal is stupid and didn't analyse.
Be aware that Russia has a relationship with Isreal too and wouldn't want its destruction.

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.
Are you not ashamed of this useless talks. Bunch of 32 country ganging up against 1 country should spike a bizarre meaning to you. That should tell you that US alone can't contain Russia lol. If you know how much US fear Russia eh you will run. Ukraine is like Russia that's why they are even able to stand so far. Even Trump knows this. In his recent speech he said Russia is a war machine. That emphasis on war machine should send you a meaning. Be there doing NATO, na Estonia abi sweden you wan use go win Russia lol

I think your hatred for islam has clouded your thinking and made you very dumb. For your information, I've never been Muslim in my entire life, I've never even contemplated becoming Muslim. You seem to just want to talk about islam all the time while others are talking about something else. Anybody who holds contrary opinion to you would magically become a Muslim in your broken brain.

You claim they are penetrating blablabla?

How do you know this ?

The reality is that Russia is advancing and claiming territory every day?

Shut up you are low on combat tactics. Even the military all over the world knows that artillery is the bedrock of wining a war. That's why Russia keeps pushing Ukraine back and back. You don't know what is artillery mate. Go watch youtube and find out. Bomebers and jammers. Once an advanced EV and air defense are in place those ones are a gone case.

Now what happend to Abram tank and Bradleys in Ukriane? The work of artillery and tank crews. Air defense checkmate the jets or bombars.

Artillery is a no joke man

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!😂
While you are generally right, western sanctions haven't done much to hurt the Russian economy much.

Except they have been stigmatized and isolated from the rest of the world, with the Olympic games as example.

Besides that, they are doing just fine.
