F-22s right now:
I had the thought earlier today that this is kind of like the Strangereal world setting of Ace Combat games in which whole wars are played out pretty much entirely by airborne assets, and ground forces don't matter.
Without compromising OPSEC at least a little, unfortunately, no. As for the ground, we're deployed far from Iran in an extremely cushy field. Being non-specific, a rarely-mentioned European territory. Funniest story I can describe is a squadronmate winding up on the local news after getting a rental car stuck on a steep hike access road. Good hunting!
The turks I know are embarrassed how much erduan is sucking islamic cock. Turkey is a democracy (a shitty one but still democratic) so theirs always a chance they will vote in a non retard. They're also in NATO so they can't fuck around as much as Iran.
The Chinese are a bunch of assclowns.
we gotta get better missile defenses that was fucking pathetic.
of course they are, they sold this to iran and venezuela as something that could TRACK F-35s. presumably because it could track their own current prototype stealth aircraft, and they were hoping it was on par with the F-35. it would seem that these things can't even track helicopters if venezuela is anything to go by. then again, it doesn't matter how good your equipment is if everyone you put in charge of it is an in-bred retard.
It'll be like Venezuela. They find some random person in the regime to take charge so business as usual can carry on while the US government declares victory and people end up wondering what the point was.
The Department of War under Trump has been doing very well, because he's content to move units into an area and then just hang out until an opportunity presents itself, rather than starting with a purely political directive that forces constraints on the operations. In this case, the necessary resources were already on the scene and the operation started *because* it was the perfect time to kill the leadership of the Islamic Republic.
Exactly, lest Gunther unleash his powers and launch a crusade in the name of the Pope on Israel.
TBCF they aren't exactly wrong. E-dog has been inpower for too long and is getting a little big for his britches and dreaming of resurrecting the Ottoman empire.Also I saw this and chuckled.
Give a jew an airtsrike and he's going to want a glass of sarin gas.
Trump is expecting the Iranians to do it themselves, he brings all the US' toys back home if they cuck out.
No but you see before they were Chinese and Russian puppets so it was good. Now they are back under America, so its bad.
They got INSANELY lucky and remember, their very first expedition out of Arabia was slapped back by the Byzantines.
Operation: Trump Card. Maybe they're saving that for whoever we topple next?
With any weapons system, 100% effectiveness is just not possible. That's the point of massing interceptors, increase kill rate. It's all statistics. Missiles are notorious for having a high fail rate, as long as its within "acceptable tolerances".
He has those ambitions but realistically he can only expand into what, Northern Syria and/or Northern Iraq? He ain't restoring the Ottomans.
Trump is a delegator, and thus is willing to let the generals run the wars instead of micromanaging them with State Department bureaucrats & on the advice of glowies.
I definitely think that if Trump is naming these he will name one for himself but it has to be big. Yuge even. Something like in Europe or Asia.
This kind of thing isn't entirely new. American history is filled with these little micro-conflicts that were resolved relatively quickly (in comparison to many European wars) like the Barbary Wars or individual Indian conflicts, Desert Storm, etc. Maybe not as swift as this or Maduro, but we've long had an extremely effective military that has the capacity for what we've seen in Iran. In cases like Vietnam or Afghanistan we just had to have one hand behind our back because of political interests or people in office actively undermining our efforts.
I cant wait till we find out our only injuries are when private shit head drops a bunker buster on his foot. Normally in Israel you end up with one or two israeli casualties when 18 year old just out of basic/drafted private Shlomo didn't listen to his commander and took the humvee around a bend at 90mph and flipped it down the side of a cliff. Seriously in Israel you're more likely to be killed by some nervous private or your vehicle overturning than the enemy. I know when israel took the rest of the golan there weren't any combat casualties except for when some 18 flipped his jeep after hitting a guardrail.
that's the name of the operation we'll be undertaking in roughly 6 months to depose the CCP.
