Israel since last time appears to have tried to adapt iron dome(actual one) to try to get tamir interceptors in path of IRBM grade targets in last despera effort(running attacking warhea to effectively run into one of likely paths).

Doesn't look terribly successful for not exactly free ARH interceptors, but I'd like to see statistics...

I hope the pilot manage to steal a F14.

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.

I swear I’ve played this

on command and conquer before.

According to the late Richard marcinko who created SEAL Team 6, his proposal for operation eagle claw was to use railway iron to damage Iranian airfields and to massacre Iranian civilians who discovered their incursion. In this era of drones, this op would be more like Dien Bien Phu than command and conquer. Iranians could position light artillery and shell the incoming U.S. forces even before they complete their runway.

sounds like Iran preemptive attacks.

Regardless the excat cause their onboard computers thought they could reach the target at the right time but couldn't. Taking the guidance system (sensor and computer) as a the full package, the interceptors were confused.


The incoming missile did not maneuver, therefor the interceptors must have been launched too late or their computers did not take enough time of travel, angle of approach and distance into their calculations. The onboard computers only discovered the fact very late and had to do such extreme maneuver and missed. If it was jammer on the missile, I would not expect such maneuver since the jamming would have fooled the interceptors to not to follow the warhead instead of turning to chase it.

I would guess it is more likely that the air-defence radar and computers are too slow to response properly even without jamming.

I was going to add that the ground radar perhaps doesn’t (or cannot) calculate the intercept point at all, and instead just launches the interceptors and expects them to lock on via terminal homing or IR mid-flight which is where it is too late to intercept anyways.

What seems to be an F-15 getting targeted, though there is no evidence of it being hit, there is a lot of flares being pumped out while doing evasive maneouvers so it least it gave the pilot a scare until there is evidence of it being hit.

It looks like a F-16

I think this is an older video from couple weeks ago atleast, from a slightly different angle. Anyways, such an abnormally high # of interceptors for one incoming missile suggests a high value target on the ground.

Am I crazy or did one of the interceptor went after another interceptor? Quite possible for Iron dome as they uses mmw for terminal guidance I think, but then such a cluster fuck may confuse a TVM system too.

OSINT bros says its a F-15

Purge will continue until morale improves.

I wonder if news-media-journos re gonna spin this as 'military division' as they do when putin or xi kicks some military guy out.
Esp considering he purged 12 of them last night not just 1.

Apparently the reason was more about The general was resisting to remove 2 black and 2 female names from list of 1 star general promotions.

This bit is the same as the F15 one
