Israel, US Strike Iran After Weeks Of Warning, Explosions Heard In Tehran

Yes much of the infrastructure we see today is due to this government. Credit where credit is due. But without corresponding investment in items discussed before it's a classic case of well begun is half done

The Americans are investing billions in boost AMD coverage around Guam. But they not sure whether it'd hold up against sustained PLA attacks.

Imo, the IAF has taken a pragmatic approach.

In any case, once the tri-service theatre commands are set up, we should see a consolidation/rationalization of military bases and facilities around the country.

Once asset allocation is decided, additional investments in ISR, IADS, EW, cyber + infra hardening will likely follow.

Key IACCS and joint logistics nodes reportedly already operate out of hardened facilities. But not much is known about them.


Rapid dispersal tactics are WW-2 tactics . Land in the middle of nowhere & camouflage the plane. In this day & age of 24x7 satellite coverage including SAR , TI , IR & Hyperspectral Imaging & so on how effective are such methods going to be is anyone's guess.

Yet, The USMC is pivoting to the same rapid dispersal tactics in 2026 to fight the PLA in the Pacific.

Btw, they've already given up their 70+ ton Abrams MBTs and AV-8B Harriers for lighter JLTV/ATV type vehicles whuch will be used for everything from AD/EW/CUAS + F-35B, et all.

In the final days before it was destroyed by a United States submarine in the Indian Ocean, the Iranian frigate IRIS Dena was sailing toward Sri Lanka in response to what sources say was a diplomatic invitation extended weeks earlier by Sri Lankan authorities during a multinational naval gathering in India.

The IRIS Dena, a domestically built Moudge-class frigate commissioned into the Iranian Navy in 2021, was part of the country’s Southern Fleet.

The vessel was torpedoed south of Sri Lanka on March 4, killing dozens of sailors in what analysts describe as one of the most significant naval strikes in the Indian Ocean since the Second World War. The attack unexpectedly drew Sri Lanka into the widening confrontation between Washington and Tehran.

But details emerging from multiple sources familiar with naval communications in Iran, India and Sri Lanka suggest the ship’s final movements may have been shaped not only by the escalating United States–Iran confrontation, but also by a sudden shift in Sri Lanka’s diplomatic posture — one that left the vessel waiting in open waters for nearly eleven hours.

During the gathering, Sri Lankan naval representatives invited the Iranian frigate to make a courtesy port call in Sri Lanka following the exercise, according to three sources familiar with the exchanges at the event, including one who said they had personally seen the invitation.

huh? wasnt the LRLACM 1500kms? maybe it is 1k and i misread but yea, weve caught up significantly but again theyve been at this for decades and obviously the tomahawk is a lot more stealthy and what not.
Indian subsonic missile development is the most ambiguous project in history. Brute majority of Nirbhay tests were failiure , but publicized as success.

That project is later shelved i think & took a rebirth with new name LRLACM eith indigenous Manik engine , only god know its current status & range.

So far most of the succesfull Nirvbhay tests were less than 650 km ranged one except one which touches 1500 km asper report . So the LRLACM range should be be between 650 & 1500. Wotst scenario, it may be as low as 650 km because Nirbhay touches 1500 mark on its first successful test, which could be a base parameters flight.
 
Nonsensical analysis by that Chinese. Trump's victory was so certain, you don't need any sort of predictive model to tell that. Even i was so certain about his victory.
Now Trump's iran attack, it was a surprise that he started before the conclusion of Ukrain war, or else that also certain.

Victory of war, that is delend upon the victory. For me US already had victory over Iran now. Their main objective is Regime change and halt of Nuke program, i think both were acheived.
