2026 Israel - Iranian conflict [TEMP LOCKED]

[siegecrossbow]

I know that no U.S. 4th gen has MAW but shouldn’t RWR responded? Or is it non responsive because it was being targeted by a “friendly” radar???

I’ve read explanations from combat pilots on Reddit and found it to be more disturbing than malfunction RWR. Apparently, it is customary to switch off RWR and EW self defense suite when you return to friendly territory because getting illuminated by random sources of radiation makes it really noisy in the cabin… I sure hope they don’t do this in West PAC…

A destroyer could easily have intercepted the ship and asked it to surrender without any danger.

Why would they risk a destroyer by putting it in range of a vessel armed with several anti-ship missiles and torpedos that belongs to a country they're at war with?

There were only 3 options for this frigate: being sunk by a torpedo, being sunk by a missile or being sunk by a bomb.

I dont think its working to lower their guard, Iraqi militias are now fighting kurdish elements, Iran preemptively drone struck and missile struck kurdish base in iraq too (without warning).
If Iraqi kurds want to into iran they will have to fight both Iraqis and various Irani forces at the same time.


Meanwhile the Warmongers are seemingly betting on US to win:

I know alot of people are listening to Professor Jiang saying that US will lose. Until yesterday, I have lost all hopes that Iran could win. Right now, Iran is pretty much waiting for a slow death. It is not the outcome I wanted, but when it comes to money, I will pick the right side

I've made my bet on polymarket and I am betting against Professor Jiang thinking.

As an amateur, can you explain why not in West Pacific?

The number of American deaths could be staggeringly high, far more than the US reported. Perhaps they didn't evacuate the bases in time.
This war is metastasizing into a regional conflict, and if it isn't stopped, it could become global in the event of a global economic collapse.

It's too late to stop the fighting. High probability economic collapse is just around the corner and the USD, as a WRC, will die. It's over. It's funny as I was arguing against someone about the US making it to the 2028 elections a few months ago and, he was very adamant we will not. I still believe the US will survive.

A destroyer could easily have intercepted the ship and asked it to surrender without any danger.

Sinking it and not attempting to aid drowning seamen is particularily cold, as there's virtually no threat to the Americans. As if they are paying tribute to Adolf Hitlers orders against such action.
..heroic Americans...

It's sad but it's war.

Guess Iran modified their trainer jet into a two seater then flew to >10k ft to practice skydiving.
Totally couldn't be F-15 which has never been shot down.

Not going for the other points, but the Yak-130, like basically every trainer, is in fact a two seater. That aside, from what little we've seen so far it doesn't look like a Yak-130 to me. But as it was over Iranian territory we'll know more when the pilots get rescued/captured.

Not to defend the US or anything, but if you don't know how many of those weapons they've destroyed, maybe don't make sweeping assumptions? Unless you've somehow gotten access to the BDAs of the US/Israeli strikes, in which case you should definitely post them, I've always wanted to have access to classified military information like that.

Sure. Look at Serbia. What % army did they take out?

They put up video of taking out painted pictures and broke down trucks. Why? Put up video of military assets. Its not OPSEC. They released more sensitive video as unclassified. So where is it?

The question you really should ask is: can Iran last longer than the west can last without both ME and Russian energy.
Then you should remember how long Yemen lasted.

LOL Why? Not worth the time.
