Propaganda is an essential part of war to boost troops morales and also quieten home front. US employed it in Vietnam war when they lied about number of viet congs killed.

But what purpose does that serve here since Nigeria( I believe we all are Nigerians) is in no way involved in this war. Whose morales are these Propaganda boosting.
It boosts the morale of the side that controls the media and is very interested in creating a positive perception of itself. That is US, Israel, Ukraine, and their supporters.

The only thing psychological is the posts you’ve been posting here. You are really shameless for still posting nonsense considering the ignorant posts you made before the war.

Your analysis are nothing but a psychological projection from the Zionist or Hollywood. They crumbled and will continue to crumble when they meet reality.

You, 🤡🤡 here and Taco can continue your Schrödinger celebrations. You’re winning and begging ( begging allies for help and begging for ceasefire) the same time, Iran is in shambles and controlling Hormuz with a 2 million dollars fee the same time, they are sending Taco gifts and launching missiles the same time, one part of Iran is negotiating while the other is fighting the same time and the marines are invading and working remotely the same time.

This is not psychological warfare, it’s called schizophrenia where am from. When the smoke clears all of ina eyes go clear.
Are the Iranians winning. Over 140 navy vessels sunk, no air force , 10000 targets bombed .They have launched more missiles to UAE than to Israel the " little Satan" to them

BIG: In a leaked cabinet recording, Israeli Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir warned that the IDF is nearing a breaking point after prolonged conflict.

“I am raising ten red flags,” Zamir told ministers, stressing the urgent need for new laws on conscription, reserves, and extended service.

“The reserves will not be able to hold out under these dramatic circumstances,” he added, warning that “it won’t be long before the IDF is no longer fit for even routine security missions.”

Because the downing usually occurs near the border. Sometimes the pilots manage to steer the destroyed aircraft to neighboring friendly countries.

Sometimes the US & neighboring countries sends special forces to retrieve the pilot and destroy the aircraft completely.
This can't be an excuse for lack of picture evidence of down US plane. US and Isreal has been flying sorties some deep inside Iran. It'll be numb to assume they fly search and rescue every time yet no media coverage

I thought they have surrendered since day 4
Why are they even launching Missiles, I thought if America really means business, they wont be able to fire a single rocket 🚀. I think The US/Israel a fighting Ghosts 👻 Iran doesn’t have the Power to fire a single missile, they are already hungry and begging the World for Food and Medicine.

LordAdam16:
every time iran hits a usrael jet, we get the familiar "where is the crash" comment

so i'll share a detailed explanation




first an analogy

fire an rpg at an enemy soldier
all you'll see are body parts flying
fire a bullet from a handgun at an enemy soldier
and there will be a body
if you hit parts like the limbs, the enemy soldier might actually be able to leap away to safety




in the russia-ukraine war
both sides have state of the art defense systems
they both suffer losses, but the systems are replaced and stock replenished
russia obviously has a better replenishment rate than ukraine

russia has several s-400s and ukraine has patriots, iris-t, s300 and other systems

iran however relies on a homegrown air defense system for sustainability reasons
persia does not want to rely on imports in the middle of a war
in an earlier post, i revealed the backbone of persia's air defense systems
since they rely on missiles and drones launchers
they designed a cheap air defense platform whose primary objective is to take out the main predators of launchers--mid-sized attack drones

these drones are fat, easy targets
and the air defense platform for taking them down are portable, easy to build, and plentiful so they can be dispersed across the large country that is as big as western europe
this platform is not like an s-400 or an iris-t
you don't need an s-400 to take out a drone
in fact, it will be overkill
and even by axis standards of inexpensive weaponry, this inexpensive homegrown drone-centric air defense platform is tens of times cheaper than an s-400

now persia has upgraded versions of these platforms that they disperse across the country
where they perform ambushes
the usrael jets fly thinking there's nothing in the area probably because they've conducted strikes recently without incident
and then they're hit

the air defense projectile does not work as a bullet
but more like a shotgun shell
fire it at a target and when it gets close it explodes into shrapnel
this is how a lot of air defense projectiles work

shrapnel from a drone-centric platform is like a handgun bullet
shrapnel from an s-400 or iris-t is like an rpg

get hit by an s-400 and you'll meet your maker
get hit by a drone-centric ad system and the jet will sufffer shrapnel damage and then you can sprint out quickly into the gulf

any jet that gets hit by these platforms and make it back to base are taken out of service
the american media themselves confirmed that when the f-35 was hit, the pilot himself was hit by shrapnel and the jet suffered damage
and both would be unable to participate in hostilities going forward

would iran like that these jets crash inside iranian territory
absolutely
but there is a tradeoff
the choice is between plentiful domestic drone-centric ad platforms that cover the entire country and are easy to hide
or a few s-400-grade systems with active radars that can be detected by the enemy from outside iranian territory and will be relentlessly targeted and still would not cover the entire country
with their limited funds they logically went for the former

a damaged jet is a damaged jet
everyone will prefer a crash but if it limps away and crash lands in the gulf
it has the same effect
that jet will no longer participate in the war




the f-18 jet hit yesterday fell into the sea
iran doesn't give a sh*t
that's one pilot and jet deleted from the war

-Lord
While I get this analogy and I agree a bit due to the lesser warhead Iran air defense missile pose. But you should know even a simple handgun pellet, shot to the arm can prove lethal. Lethality of the handgun is not just in its caliber but the structures hit in the body as a major artery can mean death in minutes, you won't even have time to limp off.
If Iran has claimed to have targeted lots of jet, no matter how small the projectile is, they should have been a luck of crash inside its territory at least.
Even a small bird strike can prove lethal to the biggest of plane, not to mention hot metals shrapnel tearing through a scramjet engine, you don't need to do much the jet propulsion and combustion chamber will do the rest, blowing itself out of the sky.

You can't rationally say dozens of active targeted jet make it alive, without even one ounce of explosion or system failure or is US jets made of bulletproof and immune to shrapnel hits?
It shows one thing Iran reports are over blown and few once in a time incidents.

Good Russians are giving overwhelming love and support to evil Iran against good Israel.

Re: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by Mikasaobi: 8:15pm On Mar 26
What’s the point of surrounding Russia with military bases if you can’t protect them from Iran.

If you can’t protect the bases and abandoned all the billions dollars equipment, how will you protect troops in a staging area for an invasion. Will command and control be in civilian areas, what about logistics and supply.

They say it takes at least 3 military officers in logistics to sustain one soldier in the war.

Logistics and supply are; moving food, fuel and ammunition, technicians for communication, doctors and nurses, mechanics e.t.c. It’s very difficult to hide these guys in a desert region, will they all be in civilian areas.

How will your invasion work if you can’t protect them from missiles.

LordAdam already gave a wonderful explanation as to why American jets don't fall inside Iran when shot. The missiles used against them are small and primarily optimized for drones rather than jets. So jets are heavily damaged but not destroyed and able to scurry away after being hit.

A second reason is what WriterNG has said, which is that US jets often fly along the border and coastline. This further improves their chances of quickly leaving once shot.

American and Israeli jets are not flying deep inside Iran or over Tehran, first because they can't. And secondly, because they generally have no reason to. Russia literally fires hypersonic missiles into Ukraine from deep inside Russia. Russia even drops the dumb FAB bombs into Ukraine from Russia.

The US does the same in Iran too. If they need to go into Iran, they use drones instead. Or missiles like Himars or Tomahawks from ships. Generally, everything except jets.

🔴 Hezbollah lured an entire Israeli armored company into a textbook ambush last night on the Taybeh–Qantara axis

Tuesday, Israel's 7th Brigade sent a remote-controlled bulldozer to probe Hezbollah's defensive lines between Muhaysibat and Qantara.

The fighters spotted it and let it pass. They wanted the real prize.

Wednesday at 6:50 PM, it came. A full armored column of Merkava tanks and D9 bulldozers, rolling single-file toward Qantara.

Hezbollah waited. Every vehicle entered the kill zone. Then the order came, and with the battle cry "Ya Rasul Allah," the fighters launched.

Guided missiles slammed into the middle of the column. Four Merkavas and a D9, all destroyed. The column was now cut in half.

The rear platoon popped smoke to hide. It didn't matter. Missiles found them too. All four tanks burned.
The lead platoon tried to push through into Qantara anyway. More missiles. Another D9 and two more Merkavas gone.

The surviving soldiers abandoned their vehicles and tried to evacuate their casualties, fleeing on foot back toward Muhaysibat while Hezbollah artillery pounded their command posts and reinforcements.

Final toll: ten tanks, two bulldozers. An entire company's worth of armor wiped out in a single engagement.

And this was the second time in three days. Two days earlier, Hezbollah destroyed eight Merkavas in a similar ambush on the Taybeh to Deir Siryan road.

Any operation on kharg island place US naval asset deep in the gulf and exposed to saturated Iranian fire. Troops on Iranian soil will also be exposed to counter artillery batteries and drones from Iran.

The question is how many fatalities are US willing to sacrifice knowing how the American populace react to service men death. Your regular American won't follow Trump like Putin using Russians as cannon folders.

Can US air asset provides enough cover?
we will find out the answers to these questions as early as this weekend

what is clear however is that pedolf is being handled by reps of the genocidal ghouls
witkoff publicly parroted pedolf's claim about the iranians begging for a de-escalation and a deal after pedolf's initial threat to strike power plants

that is proof that all the crap pedolf is being mocked for are actually based on false sh*t his genocidal ghoul handlers are feeding him
the secret point person
the private begging
the gift

you can be certain that if the kharg island op is approved
the pdf would not be given the full picture
the risks will be downplayed
they are already presenting any ground op as the final blow that will force persia to capitulate
the bottom line is that tel aviv wants boot on the grounds and they will manipulate pedolf until he gives the green light
it's really not that difficult

BEST VIDEO OF THE YEAR
Rare moment of truth at the UN from brave Kuwaiti dissident Jasem Aljuraid, invited by UN Watch:


Mr. Chair,

I heard the term “colonizers.” But who are the real colonizers?
A Jewish Kingdom ruled in Judea for a thousand years. We, the Arabs, took this land.


Who Arabized Egyptians, Phoenicians, Persians and Amazighs? It was us, the Arabs.

So why does the council enshrine a lie by keeping a permanent agenda item on Palestine, while ignoring the indigenous heart of Israel returning home?

Let us be clear about who is actually defending our sovereignty. Today, Israel is a fighter for peaceful nations, freeing Gaza from Hamas and saving Iranians from the Islamic Republic.

What Israel is doing to the IRGC — stopping a genocidal regime from acquiring nuclear weapons — is a gift to humanity.

There are 57 Islamic countries and only one Jewish state, Israel. Despite the ongoing hateful desire to eliminate it, Israel has not only survived, it has thrived.
I don't believe in miracles, but this is one.

So I ask the UN: when will you end the ritual of condemning Israel?

Is it not time, instead, to learn from Israel? How to defeat terror, defend free societies, and pursue peace.

Thank you.

(UN Watch)
