I must confess, I really don't like that 23mm on the 6x6. It just screams "technical" and is a waste of the platform.

I guess it might be better if it were remotely controlled inside the cab and had advanced radar and options for drone targeting.

Exactly!

?I heard an F-22 has been shot down or has crashed in Kuwait. Can someone please verify it?

NOPE, its a U.S. Airforce F-15E Strike Eagle that Crashed Reportedly In Friendly Fire Incident not an F-22, Near Ali Al Salem Air Base, Kuwait.
And that is comfirmed at the moment.

There are also rumours that Iran has SHOT DOWN an F-15 Fighter Jet, there are not comfirmation for the Iranian claims.

Here are X links to the video of the downed aircraft and the pilots after ejection.

Earlier this morning, two U.S. Air Force (USAF) F-15E Multirole Fighters were shot down in a friendly fire incident and crashed in Kuwait.

Footage from the scene shows one aircraft completely engulfed in flames, while the other appears to have sustained fire damage concentrated… pic.twitter.com/BGYOCFWeGm

We can now confirm that 3 US fighter aircraft are down!

It seems like this is the only way to survive being bullied by the West.

Lol. More like the only way to attract bullying from the West.

US won’t tolerate any other hostile country that tries to build a nuke capacity. You can’t be clever by half by pausing enrichment yet setting infrastructure in place that reduces your breakout time and building military grade fortifications for a ‘civil’ site.

Allegedly by friendly fire. That Kuwaiti pilot only needs to down 2 more F15s to become an ace

Yes, you are right. I went back to see the video again and can confirm that that was indeed, an F15.

On a different note, one has to admit that the Iranians have a very difficult situation at hand. The fact they are still standing despite all that has happened to them, shows there are aspects to this conflict we don't know about.

Love them or hate them, you just have to give it to the IRGC, they are incredibly resilient! Even Trump himself is impressed with them when he wondered why they have not ''capitulated''/collaped.

Definitely, nobody thought they got that much balls, so far so good they've attacked US allies and other European country bases all over Asia, I think 15 defferent countries as been attacked.

If Iran goes after Gulf countries water desalination plants then it's game over.

The only way these rich middle east countries get water is through desalination all their oil and money means nothing without water.

Actually it's very easy to take out a desalination plant, I wonder why Iran hasn't done that

Despite the upcoming fuel shortages African countries still don't want to buy fuel from other African countries and Russia.

They'd rather collapse their economies

Stop this ignorant "Africa" bullshit and rather talk about a specific country! For example, South Africa imports most of its crude oil from other African countries (Nigeria, Angola, Ghana and Algeria).

I remember leaving a similar comment on the Internet a week ago. Some r-ednecks think we buy oil from Iran

Something interesting: The Cheetah D airframes are so old that Winston Churchill was alive when they were delivered to the SAAF. They are so old that they were flying before the Apollo moon landings.

Well, they were rednecks.
This Tin-ear character has the annoying habit of talking about 2 or 3 countries and saying "Africa". I now fully understand why Kikuyu was always riding him!
