I can't believe why their homes isn't heavily guarded, top Chinese official military or otherwise lives in guarded communities secured by PLA personnel
2025 Israel - Iranian conflict
- Thread starter Maikeru
- Start date
so recognizing that Iran is fked is some how hating on Iran and being with the aggressor? so would you rather be in an echo chamber that tells you "don't worry Iran is fine"?
Iran chose the wrong path. they refused to be friends of Israel & America and chose to side with Palestine/ Russia / China in a quest to change the world order and diminish US influence. that was a foolish dicision which will cost them dearly. America is the dominant force in the middle east, not Russia & not China and definitely not those 5 million Palestinians in the open air prison. if Iran chose to stand against America for honor or whatever then Iran should have aquired the nuke yet they didn't do even that and now they will pay.
those aren't FPVs, those are spikes and similar (purpose-made) attack munitions.
Israel has been doing that for a decade. The difference is scale.
They really tried. They got Darya Dugina, daughter of Alexander Dugin.
Russia also has a more robust internal security apparatus. They have a digital internal passport and digital surveillance. And even then, things slip through.
More wave:
Iran is against an Israeli/American alliance. America is the most powerful empire mankind has ever seen. and you are comparing that to India?
Regarding Air Defense, Iran has a hole in its air defense and mostly in the AIR part. GBAD is not sufficient in this day and age to cover all vectors. You need air based early warning systems whether it is dedicated EW platforms or networked fighters. Iran doesn't have any of this. Makes the ground based systems very vulnerable.
Yup. Iran tried to LARP as a major power and is now paying the price of that delusion.
What Iran needs is to take a breather from geopolitics and focus on, to borrow someone's saying, 'reform and opening-up'. Whether it would be better for them to do that under a nuclear shield is a major decision they have to make - and soon.
Türkiye has a better shot at containing the Israelis / helping the Palestinians in the medium- to long-term than Iran has.
With the crushing of Iran's entire military leadership today by israel air strikes, does this present a new opening for the export of J-35 and other advanced (think beyond J-10ce) platforms to middle east countries?
If Israel can decapitate the leadership of any middle east country on a whim, we all know it aint gonna be US/European weapon systems that are going to save them.
Does a newly urgent need to address the capability gap between GCC and Israel present an opportunity for China to stop "underpricing" its now combat-proven platforms relative to their true value -> the guarantee of arab territorial sovereignty?
