Israel, US Strike Iran After Weeks Of Warning, Explosions Heard In Tehran
- Thread starter Ashwin
- Start date
This will be an eye opening for the rocket force fan boys. There are many out thete rocket force alone will bring victory at the expense of air force.
BREAKING:
The White House outlined the objectives of Operation Epic Fury
Official statements emphasize that this is not a war, but a “major combat operation.”
Stated objectives:
- Demilitarization of Iran: destruction of its missile forces, production facilities, and naval fleet;
- Elimination of the terrorist regime;
- Protection of the United States from current and future threats;
- Ensuring that Iran does not possess nuclear weapons.
It is as useless as tanks in modern warfare. Rocket forces can supplement you in war when you have a strong airforce and navy. Iranians had fired thousands of rockets, apart from finacial implications of SAMs usage it didn't bring any meaningful dent to Israel or US or Arab countries.Our upcoming Rocket Force is exactly for the purpose that you alluded to
Yes, delayed like most of our other projects. But deployment of Pralay, development of longer range(300kms) rocket artillery etc. are steps in the right direction. We will get there
The rocket forces just places our existing units under a new vertical. The actual raising of rocket forces is already happening in the army.
I have seen no pictures of a USN warship docked in India or heading to India for now. Could not find any sources to corroborate the claim if that is what was being implied.
Pakistan only listens to orders from Bade Saheb
The Turks modified the f-4 to f-4E terminator standard with ability to fire som j cruise missiles. Now the Iranians could atleast integrate cruise missiles and guided munitions to the f-4 and f-14 to atleast have missile truck like capabilities.
The shaheds are a cute joke. Lets be real. They are an annoyance at best. The iranians needed atleast standoff strike capabilities but even then I wonder they would affect the Israelis since I doubt the f-14's even reaching Israeli Air space.
Now this is interesting. Is it Akash AD or Barak & which country...

Russia to supply Iran with shoulder-fired air defense system
Russia and Iran have reportedly finalized a contract for the sale of 500 Russian “Verba” man-portable air defense systems (MANPADS) and 2,500 missiles as Iran tries to shore up its air defenses. However, it is unlikely that these weapons would significantly impact potential US operations against...

Barak-8 ig,
Now this is interesting. Is it Akash AD or Barak & which country...
Reportedly, MRSAM interceptors can be used by Barak-MX systems. They are interchangeable?
They aren't. A rocket force gives you lot of bargaining power. The Iranians have kind of held the arab world at gunpoint with these missiles strikes but the fact remains their entire capability is limited to drones and missiles. Their AD is questionable infact considering they couldn't even protect the Ayatollah. The Iranians are only being taken seriously because of their rocket force once they extinguish their stockpiles it will be a cake walk for Nato and Israel. But that will take a lot of time.
Also Tanks are not at all outdated but they need to be used in a swift combined arms operation if you have entered attrition phase drone and trench warfare are your only way to survive.
U.S. President Donald Trump: "Effective IMMEDIATELY, I have ordered the United States Development Finance Corporation (DFC) to provide, at a very reasonable price, political risk insurance and guarantees for the Financial Security of ALL Maritime Trade, especially Energy, traveling through the Gulf. This will be available to all Shipping Lines. If necessary, the United States Navy will begin escorting tankers through the Strait of Hormuz, as soon as possible. No matter what, the United States will ensure the FREE FLOW of ENERGY to the WORLD. The United States’ ECONOMIC and MILITARY MIGHT is the GREATEST ON EARTH — More actions to come."
Operation Ernest Will redux?
en.wikipedia.org
More on its history:
Even IN should join this or coordinate closely as it is the mandate of IN to maintain SLOCs which iranis are determined in disrupting it.
Hope lack of modern Mine-Sweepers won't bite us in the back, if iranis start minimg the straits and gulf.

Akash is not

'd, so that's not it. How many
AD we have anyway? And is barak really ? I was of opinion that it was indiginised to good extent, not withstanding that it's jointly developed to begin with . So, what else are there?
Yeah, exactly, don't know what Hellfire is trying to say over here.Akash is not
How many
So, what else are there?
Barak-8/MRSAM is a co-development, we developed the rocket motor and the rest of the components are to some extent
in India by KRAS.Akash is fully indigenous and the rest of the AD systems that IAF operates is off the shelf procurement from Israel and Russia/USSR.
Americans would probably jam or tinker with the radars of these SAMs using Growlers or other assets when conducting ops using F22/F35 and then pin the blame on Iranians. Pak and Saudi anyways dont necessarily have the capability to discern who is jamming their radars.
Yes. But actual raising just like full-theaterisation is some time away.
Neither tanks nor Rocket Force is useless. In fact, they are vital tools of winning any war. As stunning as it looks, air-dominance can't win you actual wars without boots on ground. And above two(especially the latter) are perfect tools of just doing that.
