Roughly a dozen U.S. Air Force KC-135R/T “Stratotanker” Aerial-Refueling Tankers are currently up from a number of airbases across the United States, heading northeast and preparing to cross the Atlantic towards Europe, with several appearing to be enroute to RAF Mildenhall in England.

We saw the same thing happen before the Iran War started in June.

They not alone. Lot of transporters moving back n forth rn.

GPS is effectively passive, satellites are active signaling where they are, whatever vehicle or missile just needs to calculate GNSS positions.

It is triangulation basically, just at much larger distances and global.

I am a layman, but to me seems it is whatever which you use, only difference is who has control to desync or shut off satellites of GNSS.

Beidou makes sense if US and Israel get desperate they can not resort to shutdown unless they want to provoke and start war with China.

Though one could have receivers of GPS, GLONASS, Beidou and Galileo in one missile to try to get most accurate positioning.

Since more signals there are, more data there is to calculate, references to positions, thus error margin is lower and lower.

What do you mean by GPS is passive? GPS caclulates the position by calculating signal propagation time to several satellites which then build spheres in 3d plane where the border indicates possible locations, then you get the intersection of those spheres to get your actual location.

I find it surprising that Iran hasn‘t modernized their air force/defence with the time they had and reorganized their alliances. Getting close to China like Pakistan did would have been their best bet but they are too arrogant for that.
I am quite sure that US is preparing for another attack. They removed sanction waivers for Chahbahar as well.

Iran believe they can stand on their own against the US/West and even defeat them . lol. When even China who is over 10times stronger than Iran is careful of conflict and more diplomatic/prudent giving the stakes involved .
The mullahs are not rational actors, their decision making this past decades has been atrocious. I won’t be surprised if if the regime collapse this coming years/decade. I don’t think their current situation is sustainable in the long term . unlike N.Koreans who have grown up in a giant prison locked up from the world and brainwashed day and night by the Kim regime propaganda machine on the only national state TV they have access to, Iranians are more open minded, educated , skilled and prone to seek a modernized country open to the world and connected to globalized trade routes. I’m afraid Iranians will want change at one point and will demand it by force just like they did with the Shah regime.

Yeah it looks like that. Probably this is the big ME announcement the orange paedo was bragging about the other day. Like any self-respected anti-imperialist i root for Iran but i'm absolutely dejected, dismayed and furious at their unbelievable incompetence and flacidity. I fear for them and i think they are finished as a state, they will be bombed from now on at the whims of the zionists and the americans, like Iraq was 1991-2003, in preparation for regime change. I don't know if by some miracle they could stave that now, maybe if somehow build some nukes and ICBMs and be ready to use them against the zionists and americans if their attacks don't stop. But for this they'd have to somehow clean the rot and corruption from within, their most mortal enemy.

PS: Just to clarify, China has been much to keen to kowtow to US blackmail regarding any cooperation with countries such as Iran, so we can't put this entirely on Iran's back. Russia has shown the same weakness, even if the americans are literally behind the ukrainian war and the killing of russian soldiers and civilians.

It‘s no secret that the regime in insanely unpopular within Iran. It‘s just that Shah wasn‘t as murderous as the Mullah and didn‘t go as far to stop the rebellion but there‘s no limit that Mullahs won‘t cross to crush rebellions which happened multiple times with the latest happening in 2022. I think the only way the Mullah regime would fall is if the military rebels from inside or thanks to American bombs which won‘t be good for general population.

The Iranian general population is also extremely dilusional. Majority of them think that they are white and would naively support getting bombed while thinking that they would just end up being another Germany instead of Iraq. Then you have another sizeable chunk who thinks that their empire is still alive and they can take on the West alone. Then another part thinks that divine intervention would help them.

I remember reading comments from an Iranian guy in another defence forum. Apparently for him China was too cheap and the quality of its hardware was not enough. Apparently for him, Iran desrves only the best from countries like Japan, Germany etc. These people have no awareness of their own situation.

You are describing the Persian diaspora in the West. Iranians in Iran are the polar opposite of the average Iranian you encounter in the West.

Given the Israel factor, if Chinese weapons are being sold to Iran, the US will prevent this by:

1. threatening more sticks to China
and/or
2. offering more carrots to China

Of course, given the recent results of the US-China trade war, the US stick is being found lacking.

Iran also didn‘t present itself as a reliable ally that China would risk anything to protect them. Their incompetence led to Meng Wanzhou getting arrested. Otherwise they had some cards that they could have played like oil and a possible future naval base in Persian Gulf. In the end of the day, it‘s a dilusional incompetent country and the only surprise is that they survived this only which I think is owed to America‘s blunder in Iraq that led to Americans being wary of new wars. Otherwise Iran would have been turned into another MENA parking lot a long time ago.
