Iran War

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

Well thought out.



They're not looking to "obliterated."
People continue to arrive in the central square of #Tehran, demanding retaliation in the context of the death of Ali #Khamenei.
Another slap given by Khamenei to the Zionist propagandists:
The Iranians are not against the regime.
Trump does not have this support in the USA.

Patience, grasshopper. It took us 21 years to transform the Taliban into . . . the Taliban.
Did you ever wonder what you'd have done during the rise of fascism? You're doing it right now.

Just askin' - I wouldn't disagree that the world is better off without people like the allotoyas, etc. but how does killing this guy differ from any other political assassination?

Whatever you folks would like to call it, it has been a very successful military operation. Based on what I can surmise, Israel is going to finish off the Iranian regime and its assets.

Air to air 8 missiles. Ground attack 2 jdams. That's why there are only 11 f22's needed. Iran has no real air force.
I should have known our resident right winger didn't have all the relevant information. That's how they roll. But not having been in the air force, I always assumed the "F" designation was for "fighter."
The US no longer builds attack only aircraft. It started with F/A 18, now all F aircraft are dual role. The f22's which entered service in 2005 was the last pure fighter built for the US. The F35 has 3 versions, the F35a which is the base model the US has a large number of them. They are the export version now. The F35b which is the marine stol version and the F35c which is the model with all the options and supposedly will only be operated by the US.
Thanks. I suppose the Marine version could be carrier based, but you didn't mention if those other versions could do so. Carrier planes have to have stiffer frames.

"Has been?" It's not over. Based on what I can surmise, nobody knows what will come to pass in Iran. And when will Israel "finish off" the Iranian regime? Sometime in the next 80 years? You do realize Israel can't do much of anything without our money and weapons, don't you?

And how does that distinguish the US from, for example, Russia invading Ukraine or China taking over Taiwan?

Successful? I guess. Bombing a country with no air force and limited air defenses is tough sledding.

DonOld "I'll break it but not fix it trump." :roll:


There's zero sign that the regime is falling even though we are knocking out assets.

F-35C

The F-35C is the carrier-based variant of the aircraft, designed for catapult-assisted take-off and barrier-arrested recovery (CATOBAR) operations from aircraft carriers. Compared to the F-35A, the F-35C incorporates several modifications to meet the specific demands of carrier operations. These include larger wings with foldable wingtips to reduce the aircraft's footprint for storage, enlarged control surfaces for improved handling at low speeds, a more robust tailhook for repeated use with carrier arrestor cables, a twin-wheel nose gear, and reinforced landing gear to withstand the stresses of arrested landings. The increased wing area also allows for lower landing speeds and improves both range and payload capacity. The F-35C is limited to a maximum load factor of 7.5 g.

Of course DonOld and his merry band of cultists have zero idea of what happens next.


It took Iraq what, fifteen years to stabilize?
It's stable now?

I am sorry my "has been" was misunderstood. It clearly was not suggesting the war was over. No one questions that Israel is supported by the USA. However, Israel is leading the action.

The F-47 Trump is expected to be operational by 2029. No word on how it will fare vs the Kuwaitis.
