My reply was sarcastic. I even bolded the punchline.I think i'll start tagging sarcasm from now on, because i think you misread it.

My bad! I missed the emphasis! Apologies.My reply was sarcastic. I even bolded the punchline.
Israel claimed.. nice joke. Tell me more?We will know soon enough. Israel claimed around 180 ballistic missiles were fired. Previous time Nevatim airbase received about 7 hits from BMs.
Why would it glow in space where the temperature is almost 0K?Remember, the context here is a satellite in orbit detecting a launch and cuing the AN/TPY-2 and other radars to start searching in that area. Medium range ballistic missiles fly in a high arc, and can be detected and tracked by powerful radars from enormous distances (2000km+). AEGIS for example will track he target and guide SM-3 to an intercept vector in outer space. The last stage will switch to terminal IIR homing and collide with the warhead. So you see, infra red homing works well after the ballistic missile has completed its burn. The warhead is still hits from the ascent and in space glows like a Christmas tree to an IIR camera.
While the entirety of the Red Sea was occupied with US Navy. We found out how good Israeli long range strike capability is when they sent drone copters to Iran lol.@plawolf Pathetic long range strike capability!? Israel executed several binning runs on Yemen with its Air Force, dropping JDAMs on targets that are further away from Israel than Tehran. It used its own tanker aircraft fleet to accomplish this.
Good. Looks like I was wrong to assume that Hezbollah had been quiet after the Iranian missile bombardments. Now is the time to give the IDF a proper fight.
Seems like Iran is to Israel what Israel is to Hezbollah.
Turkey is a snake and I hope they're planning a slick move this time. If Israel, Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas, Houthis go out out on each other leaving Israel significantly injured and all others near dead or dead, Turkey has the oppertunity to go in fresh and hit Israel with everything they've got just when Israel thinks it has won and can lick its wounds. But Turkey won't move if there are no significant wounds on Israel and it won't move if most of its Western weaponry have shut off buttons on them. While everyone else is taking punches to the face, Turkey would do best to use the time to quietly figure out how to jam the kill switches on its NATO gear. If Turkey snakes out a last minute destruction of Israel, it will be the hero of the Muslim world and it will have earned incredible respect in most of the non-Western world. If it pulls it off, I'll actually start calling it Turkiye LOL
Israeli response to Iran will aim to cause ‘significant financial damage’ — source
Israel’s response to Iran’s missile attack will aim to cause “significant financial damage,” an Israeli source tells The Times of Israel.
The feeling is that the response “must be significant, and it must come soon.”
Only for terminal guidance when the background is space. For actually tracking the bus, IR field of view and lack of ranging information, only bearing, doesn't cut it.This is wrong. SM-3 performs a kinetic kill via collision in space using an imaging infra red seeker. This is will after the missile burn has completed.
