News carried frequently: children among those killed by Israeli counterattack.
Forgotten is the siege of taunting, provocative attacks by the Muslims to start all this.
I saw what you did there.
May all the Arab martyrs' virgins in the next world look like Helen Thomas's older sister.
I am certain I saw one of those missiles do a U-turn, chase then explode. Anyone know if I’m seeing things (go ahead, speak up) or are those missiles capable of that type of targeting?
My prayers for the Jewish nation.
My prayers for the Lord’s hedge of protection to be around them and for victory over the Islamic fascist terrorists.
Their speed and small control surfaces makes them not the most maneuverable of vehicles. In an airplane if you know you are being chased, you wait for the missile to get fairly close then you do violent turns to evade and make the missile overshoot. Once that happens the missile doesn't come back at you. It goes ballistic and usually self-destructs.
When a missile leaves the launcher it can radically steer a new azimuth under power (while the propellant is burning). Some radical changes in direction are possible and you may have seen that.
There are two videos up now, twilight and night, and I'm curious at which video and time stamp do you see the maneuver?
It was a night video but I don’t know which one it was. There were a bunch of them posted today on social media and youtube.
It took awhile to spot it in the barrage, but that may be the one you saw. It could also be a missile from the center battery just becoming more visible but I think it is an intercept maneuver. Pretty slick for a system like that!!
The incoming missiles are following a ballistic trajectory. From launch a dedicated interceptor can be targeted to it and wouldn't require that much of a maneuver to intercept point. Maybe the iron dome missile was retargeted after launch??
Israel fights back and talking heads MSM will be bitching about mean Jews.
I have seen this movie before.
Park the f’n Atlantic Fleet in the Mediterranean, inside Israel’s territorial waters, and carpet-bomb anything that even farts in Israel’s general direction.
Combo explosive/incendiary to ensure zero recoverable remains being paraded on Al Jaz.
This crap been going on all my life.
Every square inch of Gaza is thoroughly relieved that I have no say so.
ONE MORE night of provocation...
JUST ONE MORE, and I’d guaran-damn-tee there wouldn’t be a f’n flea alive by the weekend.
And Iran can gawk at the sudden destruction of their proxies, and suck it.
And my Red Phone convo with Putin would be exactly this:
“After provoking for years, Jihadi idiots started this, again, and we’ve all wasted enough resources on this region over the decades that I finally decided to finish it. The result might not be exactly as you’d prefer, but you also won’t need to spend another single Ruble down here. It’s messy, but we’re paying the bill.
You’re welcome.
Enjoy your freedom from past entanglements.”
Israel should level the strip. Any other nation on the planet would.
Thank you.
