I don’t think there is any way to know about Irans current stockpile’s given all the ammo depots hit, I’m certain it’s quite a bit but not sure if they have enough for millions but I’m sure they do but for how long is the real question I would say
2026 Israel-US vs. Iran conflict [Military updates/News Only]
- Thread starter Phead128
- Start date
looks Iran might have shot down an F-15E, it also may have crashed but anyways I think this is the first proof though unconfirmed of crash/shootdown within Iran

Who knows. Could just be from the friendly fire incident in Kuwait.
Shilao's own take on this:
His view is this wave of firing makes the story from Washington Post more likely - that'll be the one were they plan to land spec ops, build a runway, then land excavating equipment to dig out the uranium and then transport it away.
The plan would have been discussed, sensible people in the Pentagon think it's a stupid plan and don't want anything to do with it, so they start leaking it to the media to show that some in the military also think it's a dumb idea. And now Hegseth is firing anyone he thinks isn't onboard with the plan.
I'm curious if you guys think with today's JSOC, could Operation Eagle Claw be successfully carried out today?
They discussed this on Chahuahui too. The best historical comparison is something like Cactus Air Force during Guadalcanal campaign where they operated fighters from Henderson Field while getting attacked by the Japanese by both land and by naval bombardment on the regular. But with Henderson Airfield they took over a nearly completed air field from the Japanese, then Marine 1st Engineer Battalion spent 6 days working around the clock using material and equipment left by the Japanese to complete the airfield sufficiently to base fighters.
If you have to do this in the middle of Iran, air lifting in either rapid-set concrete or sheet plates yourself then it's scary to just think about the amount of logistic involved and how many things can go wrong. And that's before you get to the Tomb Raider-isk half of the operation.

It could but the background from the photos I have seen doesn’t match what I have seen in Kuwait but jts still unconfirmed
Qw8 doesn't have mountains.
The other thing is that the closest major Japanese base, at Rabaul was about 1000 km away so they had significant logistics problems trying to get forces there. Iran on the other hand would already have significant forces close by and easily be supplied.
