I heard the US bombed the oldest pharmaceutical company in Iran.

They've started targeting essential sectors in Iran.

How low can the so called world police go?

Absolute power was given to kids in adult bodies.
It's their hobby.

Many years back, they did the same in Sudan, they destroyed a pharmaceutical company that was critical to Sudanese health sector.

I can't believe Donald Trumpf, NVBs and even our fav "IrAn wOulDn't laSt tiLl MOndAy" crooner are celebrating what is essentially a quagmire veiled in "victory"grin

It's very funny and somehow counter-intuitive that they sustained this much damage to rescue just one pilot, when there's strong indication they're still going to airdrop thousands, if not tens of thousand of troops in this same country grin cheesy

Make una calma, that shit y'all are trying to prevent will soon be given to Iran on a platter in the coming days.
wink wink grin
Iran would not last till Monday,

They will double down...na by tomorrow we go know wats up. But Iran fuvk up oo..how long did it take them to deploy manpads unit to the area of USA incursions. This doesn't say well about their military. If they have deployed enough men with manpads, the scores for too sweet.
the generals of both ground forces (artesh and irgc) have questions to answer

in fairness, they have sent most of their equipment to valuable strategic assets
in anticipation of a ground invasion

but you are right

order thousands of manpads from russia or pakistan
and send them to forces in areas of us incursions
that is so obvious

manpads will wreck all those helos
and you can't conduct rescue ops without helos

Wars have changed.

Before it was ATGMs, Ambush attacks and RPGs that Hezbollah used against the invaders, now most of their videos are now majorly drone attacks. Less risks to their soldiers and more damage without physical presence.

No wonder there has been lots of helicopters flying in and out of Lebanon.
The casualty rates on the Hez front is specifically astonishing. Even a formal Israeli leader, Ehud came out and said that Israel cannot afford to sustain such casualty level on the hez front for long.

I believe the aircrafts were hit by maybe manpads and were damaged and unable to continue with the mission.

Not even a fuuuullll will believe sand made 2 aircrafts unable to fly and also made 2 helicopters unable to fly.
This is the most likely scenario.

Oga every aircraft has limitations on how far it can travel.

Especially fighter jets. So Iran cannot fly directly to Washington to carry out a mission. It needs nearby bases to refuel like the US has around Iran.

Plus Iran does not have intercontinental range missiles, for now.

If and when they get, you'll find out soon enough that no one is untouchable.

The Iranians are slow no doubt. It'll take them a while but they'll eventually catch up.

They've really tried because it took Ukraine almost 2 years to hit anything significant in Russia.

The amount of destruction Iran has meted out on US vassals is astonishing.

Almost every Iranians should be walking around with manpads at this point or atleast know how to operate it.

iran has an indigenous developed manpad
based on the chinese qw-18

called the misagh

they have three variants

misagh-1, 2 and 3

the misagh can hit any helo
they've been producing the latest version, m-3, since 2017




also new information is that the iranians were searching for the pilot in a wide cordon across three neighboring provinces
chaharmahal and bakhtiari
kohgiluyeh and boyer-ahmad
isfahan

while the americans always knew the pilot's exact location

the four aircrafts were destroyed in isfahan

Which kind Mumu talk be this? Did Iran told you they want to thief US oil, or regime change in US, or enter US to force them to live their Islamic lifestyle. You don ever see where person dey find thieve go make e Com steal in property. Is it not the thief that will locate his victim. In this case, the US want to thieve oil, so they enter middle east, set up bases, to make they thiefery easy

It is frustration. It is evident Trump is tired of the war but his pride and ego won't allow him to quit. He wants an unconditional surrender from Iran so he can claim a win.

The only thing there is to find out now is whether US soldiers were smoked off the air or they took a hit, landed, and then destroyed the aircrafts as they left Iran.

There was no mud there and there is no logic behind landing two C-130s in the desert unless they took damage and had no other choice.

It surprises you because you are not following the war with open heart.

Did you study the region where the attack happened and how it happened.

The aircraft went down around the Iranian border with Iraq so the rescue happened within not forgetting the airman must have try to move away from hostile environment toward friendly side.

Secondly Iran is currently not using active radar system that is why the aircrafts don't see the missile coming but the downside is that you can't protect your entire airspace. Protecting the entire airspace is not necessary is Iran large stretch of deserts and mountain.

Borders are usually empty so what is the big deal about the rescue and it doesn't even make sense using c-130 for a rescue of one person so now I am thinking about it, I will have to research more the rescue operation.
I’m following the war but i was just surprised at the amount of madness, the USA military pulled up.

I think they were testing the water to see how the Iranian people and military would react if they landed special forces in Iran to seize that island and also try to secure that Uranium enrichment site.
To me, that’s only reason, they tried to use 2 large aircrafts inside Iran.

Anyway, You could almost say congratulations to both the IRGC and US military. What a display of madness by both sides

The Americans got their pilots safely rescued. (Hollywood movie incoming), but there is no way, some of those men are coming home alive.

The Iranians destroyed millions of dollars equipments

Win-Win.

here's the interesting part

a few days back, us media was mouthing off about their military plans for ground invasions
one was to establish a makeshift base where they would pave a runway and airlift excavators
in a bid to extract iranian enriched uranium

guess where they planned to establish this base?

same isfahan where they just lost four aircrafts

they had already telegraphed this move last week




there is some legitimacy to the musings by some commentators
that the events of this weekend have all been part of masked attempts at ground incursions
or at the very least, they are testing elements of or how to proceed with a ground invasion

Sometimes they get Destroyed in Iranian Air-space.

And sometimes the U.S. Destroys its own Jets inside Iran.

Iran: We shot down F-15 jets.
US: They went down in friendly fire.

Iran: We attacked the USS Gerald Ford.
US: Fire started in a laundry room.

Iran: We shot down F-15Es.
US: CENTCOM denies it.

Iran: We shot down rescue planes.
US: We destroyed them ourselves

Wait oooh, why can’t the USA military just accept that Iran military hit them, at least The Russia military admitted many times but never USA or Ukraine.

Location of the USAF forward base set up deep within Iran for the F-15 crew rescue mission.

The base was set up just outside of Isfahan, a critical Iranian strategic hub with missile and army bases, nuclear facilities, and the airbase home to Iran’s F-14 fleet.
