2026 Israel-US vs. Iran conflict [Military updates/News Only]

And what makes one think these drones have something special that’s suppose to prevent them from being shot down? But of course not the same said for all the Reapers that have been shot down…

I'm saying chinese weapons have had a recent history of being used by dubious operators, such as the RSF, Myanmar and now the UAE arguably on the aggressor side. Which is frankly just a result of the hands-off policy with acquiring chinese weapons. Ends up catering to these kinds of actors

Apparently, the US has indefinitely banned their satellite companies from providing imagery in the Middle East

Lmao.

What are the chances this is a consequence of trying to go in with shorter ranged munitions and the following shitshow yesterday?.

I do wonder that once this achieves nothing either, whether they will walk out or go nuclear.

This is EXACTLY like when Fighterbomer was complaining that export Su-34s had MAWS but VKS Su-34s did not.

What Trump really needs to do is to follow Putin’s example and sentence anyone who defames the U.S. military to seven years in prison. Will work wonders once the land invasion starts.

Debris being collected in Iran, hard to tell what it was and if they are part of the F-15 or something else, though

This is what Solemani's niece looks like BTW. Typical compromised Iranian diaspora.

this is the second one they are deporting.

honestly it is sad that these women who seem to embrace western liberal culture are being deported for having a differing opinion. I guess that is how much of a failure this operation is. that now to get some kind of a win they will start looking for Iranians to deport from the US.

Not really, MALE drones are fairly vulnerable to any sort of obsolete medium to high altitude air defense system.

It doesn't matter if you're a WL-2 or MQ-9, you're going to get smacked down by similar systems.

Hmmmm
> Iran managed to destroy one of US E-3G AWACS last week
> A Wing Loong UCAV was shot down by a 9 Dey SAM, which is a part of the Sevom Khordad Medium to Long Rang SAM system
> On the next day, an F-15 is shot down. Possibly due to same SAM system.

From what I can see is that the loss of USAF AWACS signalized Iran in more starting to utilized more of their medium to long range SAMs instead of heavily using Majid and 358 loitering munition which have shorter range.

This is very make sense since the more longer and robust SAMs, mobile or not, have a lot of radar juice that can be easily read and painted by the US AWACS instead of the shorter ones which tend to have readings that are largely overlook or not that much of a threat.

I can be wrong but this is certainly a stepping stone for possible Iranian counter attack through complete area denial in the long run.

Israel/US operate Wing Loong?

But the plane downed is the E not EX, unless I missed something?
