"So something that gets shot down is successful? Ok. Retard.

Boy, you can always tell when somebody's losing the argument!

The fact that Israel, with the help of us, the Jordanians, the Brits and the French did shoot down most of those missiles is wonderful - but you haven't spent a whole lot of time thinking about the fact that most of those missiles/drones if they hadn't been intercepted (at a cost of $1.35B that night), would have hit and caused massive death and injury and damage - at a range of 900 Kilometers. A scientific achievement that should scare the hell out of you. This means that the Iranians can get a weapon into Earth orbit, which means that once they have the reentry part puzzled out (with the likely help of the Russians/North Koreans/Chinese) we can be attacked here.

Both the US and Israel can intercept missiles - but the Iranians have already demonstrated that they have the ability to make a lot of missiles, more than enough to exhaust and overwhelm our ability to stop all of them.

Once they do have a nuclear warhead capability, we have our first terrorist, insane Muslim sect with the power to annihilate - even here.

Your eyes getting a little wider now?

Small tactical nukes no bigger than what we dropped on Japan, delivered when the wind was blowing the correct direction and the problem could of been solved permanently.

🇺🇲🇮🇱 U.S., NOT ISRAEL, SHOT DOWN MOST IRAN DRONES AND MISSILES

More than half of the Iranian drones and missiles that were downed were in fact shot down by the U.S. Navy and Air Force, and Israel would likely have struggled tremendously without direct U.S. intervention – U.S. Officials

At least no mean Tweets, right?

Once again, they project and Biden is the one who is on the verge of starting World War III.

I’m thinking that would be a huge unnecessary mistake. Israel isn’t dumb enough to make that mistake. I think if anyone uses nukes, it will be used against Israel first.... probably by Iran. Remember, it is the jihadists that care not for human life... not Israel, as the demons always claim. Israel can achieve their goals w/o nukes. Now... all bets are off if the left managed to get Netty out of there and replaced by one of their own stooges. But I doubt that will happen. God won’t let it.

Again, you are thinking tit for tat.

The tactics of the west are overwhelming force, across a wide swath of the enemies command and control, strategic forces, air forces, and navy.

Considering that Isreal has the newest generation systems compared to Iran’s dated air forces and navy…that part of any attack will not take long. It would take longer to find the air force as it runs to Turkey or India than it will take to ground them.

The systems for communicating to the missile command will be down in the first minutes. The ability to make a coordinated counter attack will be destroyed in the first few minutes.

Air defenses will be destroyed in the next few minutes.

The biggest challenge facing the IDF Air Force will be refueling their jets to get to Iran.

Sure, Iran may have thousands of missiles…but they have to “come out” to launch. They have been under constant observation for weeks. The IDF knows exactly where most of them are at any given moment.

Your theories are OK, but you are making some assumptions about the survivability of the “systems” Iran uses. I am not so optimistic. Iran shouldn’t want to engage with a modern military.

You're posting to yourself? LOL

but trust me he now knows the reality of the situation. I’m thinking he will back off

You're always quietly cheering for Russia and against Israel ... you're the last person anyone should trust

The Iranian Bavar-373 air defense system is the advanced version of Russian S-400, It uses three acquisition and engagement radars. With its sayyad-4B missiles able to engage targets beyond 300KM.

Whether stealth, multirole or whatever, any F-35 fighter jet within the Iranian airspace will not be returning to where it came from.

Since 2022, F-35s have never been given to Ukraine, even after countless requests from Zelensky. Well, US has been avoiding reputation damage that comes with F-35 being shot down in Ukraine.

It is what it is. F-35s are only good for dropping bombs on defenseless populations in places like Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Yemen and Gaza.

If Israel was to launch a retaliatory strike on Iran, the only options available are ballistic and cruise missiles. Some of which will be intercepted anyway.

Yah sure you are ... yet oddly, you didn't complain when Putin attacked & invaded Ukraine 2 years ago

And you've constantly advised Israel to "hold back" and not invade southern Gaza for the last 6 months

We can all see - thru your actions - what you are

it would be suicidal for Israel to go to war with Iran.

How about merely taking out Iran's leaders?

The F35s shot down drones and missiles the other day. I am pretty sure they will be fine.

The have S400s around the Oil terminals. Those aren’t going to be targets. And as soon as they turn on..they are obliterated.

The US is cleaning out their closets for Ukraine.

But, as a mouth piece for the Tehran/Moscow/Nork axis, I would expect nothing more from you. Have fun selling your crap to idiots.
