.Israel, US Strike Iran After Weeks Of Warning, Explosions Heard In Tehran
- Thread starter Ashwin
- Start date
.Mind-blowing
. After so much media manipulation, are they going to find the russian out in open? As for Iran.. Me think Pak Army might deploy boots on the ground in Iran at US' behest. Otherwise US will have to.
Kurdistan , Balochistan , Greater Azerbaijan - all options are open. Right now the objective is to completely obliterate Iran's NWP , their arms mfg complex along with their existing inventories , destruction of their infrastructure including basic infrastructure like water , electricity & other utilities , target internal security set up including IGRC , Basij & other law enforcement / para militias associated with the regime .
Don't think the allies will go hard at the Iranian Army except the top brass. Idea would be to pit them against the security establishment of the regime.
Destroy as much as you can before calling it a day , tighten the sanctions regime & wait for the remnants of the regime to implode.
As I remarked in my previous post , the bloody uprising last month was sparked off due to water scarcity , precipitous fall in the value of the Iranian Rial causing huge inflation in a very short period of time.
You can well imagine what the situation will be like once this war stops & whoever is in charge will be left holding the baby .
Been raising the issue since the past 4 years before the war in Ukraine on the Indo China war gaming thread on the need to expedite the production of masses of Tactical BMs & CMs in the thousands for ranges between 300-4000 kms only to be laughed at by the usual suspects. @Rajput Lion
Tbe other lesson from the war in Ukraine & the Iran vs Israel & US war are the deployment of a whole array of drones & anti drone warfare besides of course the fact that the importance of air warfare can't be underestimated nor the need for sophisticated ISR & integrated ADS.
We've all the building blocks for the aforementioned categories in house except augmentation of our air warfare capabilities & capacities . Yet our security establishment including this government especially Leaderji are sitting on the fat of their arses twiddling thumbs.
Hopefully whatever's happening now will finally open up the eyes of our establishment to do the needful ASAP.
Many Iranians have spoken about this. Things are gonna get way worse for them at this rate.
Plenty of opportunity for the Chinese to run things.
Sheer dumb luck that the Iranians do not have an air force. Had they had even a 100 jets with strike capabilities, the attacks would have been double as intensive.
I remember goi opening up missile manufacturing to Pvt players last year.
There was also the commitee headed by def sec which discussed allowing 100% foreign owned subsidiary to be set up and considered as an indian vendor in procurement.
Seems like countries like Israel, Russia are keen on this. But I believe that we should negotiate and not insert any clause or loopholes for them to be considered as indian vendor. Foreign OEMs are reaching for too much here.
This could not only work for EP but also proliferation of skilled workforce and MSMEs.
I'm a huge fan of the rocket forces. I wanted us to import cheap Iskanders directly from Russia in the hundreds, but most of the focus was on Israeli missiles instead. I hope we get Russian tech after the war's over, they have some really good stuff. Our new ones are still WIP.
The iranians have an airforce. They just need to integrate guided munitions. Something even Pakistan does. Considering the iranians are a bigger economy they could have easily integrated long range guided munitions on their f-4,f-14 and f-5. The mullahs are incompetent. That's the reality. The Israelis are humiliating them because the Iranians failed to modernise.
When the Pakistanis could use the mirage 3/5 to do the rose program and integrate munitions what was stopping the iranians? They could have easily bought the ls series from the Chinese. Deep down the iranians want validation of the west. It's the same issues with the Turks. That's why they didn't go for the nukes which they could have easily. How bad is your security apparatus if the Israelis keep infiltrating your upper commands. Your mullahs are against fatwas. Your military is in complete shambles. In fact the Iranian regime has similarity to Nazi Germany in the fact that the SS had superior armament compared to the wehrmacht. The same issues was with the Iraqis where the IRGC had superior equipment to the Iraqi army. They are doing the textbook failure of investing more in the religious police/militia than their military.
The entire Iranian defence apparatus is around Drones, BMs and Anti Air/Sea. The problem with this design is that you can do a lot of damage provided it's an assymetric situation. Wherever you face an enemy with decent AD and an air force it's basically over. Iranian AD is mediocre and they have dated Russian AD. Chinese AD performance is below average. So their only saving grace is the overglorified ballisitic missiles and drones.
I didn't know that the ayatollah had a fatwa against nukes. This regime deserves to be destroyed for their strategically and tactically deficient. A land invasion doesn't seem to be an immediate problem but I could see Iraqi Kurdistan and Balochistan being used as a staging ground for destabilisation and then a proper invasion. The way the Iranians are reacting we will see the entire Sunni bloc allyign with the Israelis and Americans to take out Iran.
1. Distracted the world from the war in Ukraine, allowing them greater scope for attacking civilians targets.
2. Consumed US resources going to Ukraine in a second war.
3. Well exactly RR, and the bombing of Gaza supported by the US likely made people in TME more Russian friendly not less.
In this game there is no definitive proof, there is just what everyone knows, as with the 1999 Moscow apartment bombings that abruptly swung the election in Putin's favour, where members of the FSB were even caught by police carrying RDX into Moscow apartments and then the team conducting an independent enquiry all died in apparent assassinations.

Well it was a secret, It looks like everyone knows nowDoes everybody have facilities in the Middle east.
wiki
Australia - The Australian Defence Force (ADF) has used Al Minhad as their main transport and logistics hub in the Middle East since the withdrawal of Australian combat forces from Iraq in 2008. The RAAF had operated AP-3C Orions from the base from 2003 to support operations in the region, however it was not until 2008 that an agreement was signed allowing Australia to command its regional headquarters there. "Al Minhad Air Base - Wikipedia"
At Al Minhad, the ADF maintains a facility, which is named Camp Baird,and as part of the military intervention against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant has deployed Boeing F/A-18F Super Hornets, Boeing E-7A Wedgetails and Airbus KC-30As."> During early 2015 the Boeing F/A-18F Super Hornets replaced the McDonnell Douglas F/A-18A Hornets.
