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

Kuwaiti officials confirm 'several' US aircraft were lost over their airspace. All pilots are safe.


Seems one was a twin-seat F-15 variant and another could be a single-seater of unknown type. Also hearing reports of a helicopter going down but nothing verifiable on that yet.


Not entirely clear how this happened but right now it looks like some kind of localized C&C failure lead to a mass blue-on-blue incident.
 
US military personnel demonstrated an attack by an Iranian Arash-2 suicide drone on the US military base Camp Buehring in Kuwait. It was previously reported that Russia ordered the Arash-2 drones from Iran. Iran also launched a strike with Shahed-136 drones on a US ammunition depot in Erbil, the capital of Iraqi Kurdistan, as shown in the second part. The drone strike caused a massive fire at the US base in Erbil, Iraq.

 
They did not have suppliers during the Cold War and were sanctioned by the P5 when they began imports.

Just having nukes isn't enough, as Pak found out last year.

India and China built up conventional capabilities massively before going for nukes.
Never said they shld have done it during cold war, they could have done it by 2005. Having nukes would have saved them from being bombed but actually it's a good thing they were dumb cuz 1 Muslim country with nukes is already too much for the world.
 
This conflict ALSO proves the importance of QUANTITY ie a large number of Missiles, Fighter Bombers and Drones

Iran is throwing everything at GCC countries and US is unable to defend all Targets in the Gulf countries

Lessons for India

We need Thousands of more Missiles and atleast
100 MORE SU 30s

SU 30 is our only Bomb Truck and is in production, right now

SU 30 can carry both Stand off Missiles and Long Range Glide Bombs

It also proves that it's harder to intercept High velocity missiles,
You need layered systems and plenty of stockpiles to replenish it,

And give ToT of pralay, shaurya, Agni-p, LRAShM, lrlacm, bm-04, to private players too, as there Will be multiple production facilities, and increase Thier numbers to brahmos size,

Missile like pralay at terminal speed of mach 6 can lit the entire pak cants

Need of the hour is hypersonic interceptor. US is deploying 10 to 11 patriot interceptor to protect key area. But failing.

Yeltsin ended cooperation during his tenure and the US allowed defensive imports under Putin. They have been under sanctions since 2009.
