I agree with your general sentiment but Jessep was totally incorrect. His mindset was ultimately third worldish. Russians and other browns beat their subordinates to death, and then blame a few underlings. Americans don't, or at least, SHOULDN'T. There are lines that shouldn't be crossed, regardless of the responsibilities laid upon you.

A decade and change of most nations in Europe being so anti native male they have been explicitly using them as whipping boys. Polls that show how many people would fight for the country are in the 10-20%.
That though is a troll account. I mean "Greta Thundberg Respecter."

Let's hope none of them find out that the super serum we feed our soldiers remains in the residue of their sweat and shit and piss. If the iranians find out they can attain these powers by eating our shitty underpants we're screwed. It would be especially humiliating for the USA if they livestream this for propaganda purposes. Oh god please tell me they don't figure this out.

Claims are the partnership actually broke down back in December, with the official reason being the French refused tech transfer as part of the deal. The public announcement on the April 2nd is pretty convenient though.

I'm tired of this stupid cope. The 30 years war killed a much higher percentage of Europeans as total population than any other war. But there were apparently still people willing to be based and die like that in the 7 years war, Napoleonic wars, WW1 and WW2. If your based population could be exterminated in war so easily Europe would have been cucked long ago.
What you are looking at has nothing to do with people dying in war. But useless eaters being propped up by technology and economic policies then empowered by stupid politics. Between a fifth and a quarter of the native population of Europe are some flavor of communist and between a quarter and a third are just neolibs that see people as interchangable slop. And don't act like the Democrats in the US are any better and they are also about a third of the population.
There is another tangent which is that some cultures have different thresholds for things like martyrdom and self worth. If I was that pilot I'd like to be rescued but if somebody on my team would likely die I personally would feel conflicted about being rescued. I also find the Israeli practice of body retrieval through combat means just strange. If I'm dead I don't want someone to risk dying over my corpse. But that's just me.

Then people are going to need to learn to un-buckbreak themselves instead of constantly reliving their trauma like some Gender Studies major whose boyfriend's parents disapproved of her. It's good to learn from the past, but not to lived forever trapped in it, unable to take in new information.
I don't think it can be overemphasized how fatalistic Islam is; whatever has happened was divinely preordained to happen. Which means, since the pilots were rescued, that's what their god wanted to happen. Now why would he side with the Great Satan over his specialest good little boys?

If this video is not fake or AI manipulated, I have a question:
Haven't these niggas learned anything at all? Why meet in person? Why not have a virtual meeting? I'm sure that these guys were really preparing for this war for years (decades even) and set up a military Intranet to allow exclusive communications between their bunkers/command centers and didn't tie their military electronic traffic to the civilian infrastructure, right?
Is propaganda for consumption in the English speaking Internet.

They only logical reason: because they haven't launched enough missiles their allies and neighbors.
And that kids, is why the middle east is the way it is.

my question wasn't genuine because I'm more just implying the video is fake, because the map being labeled in English for the like one second it's visible does not matter in terms of propaganda value, making it just weird.
It's not like they were tossing up a map of some American target for us to see and go "oh shit they're plotting to attack our shit" it was a map of their own nuclear reactor which we've landed strikes around multiple times now. the map could have just been completely unlabeled and still carried the same effect.

Now the next mystery is how much of those suicide drones they have assuming that is all accounted for before a ground operation in Iran.
An example of an average day somewhere else with a similar class UAV
I hope the number of UAVs Iran has produced is taken into account by US intel. All that there currently is, "is just talks" of a ground operation. I am still just convinced this is all just Iran and US launching missiles at each other's airbases.
It is known that Iran pays great attention to the development of unmanned aircraft systems of various classes. Within the framework of this logic, the Iranian industry has developed and brought to production a lot of strike systems, incl. including loitering ammunition. One of the latest developments in this class is a product called "Rezvan", first introduced just over a year ago.
Adopted
At the beginning of 2025, Iran hosted another exercise of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps from the "Great Prophet" series. As part of these activities, the use of various systems and weapons, incl. several new models, was worked out.
One of the novelties was the loitering ammunition "Rezvan" (Persian. "Paradise"; a common toponym), also referred to as "Raad-2". Products of this type, and in fairly large quantities, were demonstrated to the Iranian press. In addition, it was reported about the conduct of combat training launches and the use of a new BB / UAV against targets at training grounds.
As is often the case with Iranian weapons, the organization that developed Rezvan remained unknown. The exact timing of the development of this UAV is also questionable. However, it is clear that by the end of 2024, Iranian enterprises managed to produce at least a small batch of such equipment. In the future, kamikaze drones could go into a large series with the delivery of entire batches to the combat units of the IRGC.
Just a few weeks later, in February 2025, an exhibition of the achievements of the Iranian military-industrial complex was held, which showed the new capabilities of the Rezvan UAV. It became known about the existence of full-fledged self-propelled complexes capable of using such armored vehicles. Drones were proposed to be placed on ground, surface and underwater platforms.
In April, the Rezvan UAV became one of the exhibits at the IQDEX 2025 exhibition in Baghdad - this time its export version was presented. It is curious that the ammunition for foreign customers differs from the basic modification in some characteristics and combat potential. It also turned out that the UAV has a noticeable margin for modernization.
Combat training missions
Since the beginning of last year, the Rezvan AP has been repeatedly used in various exercises. In the wake of these events, official Iranian structures published photos and videos of drone launches and flights. In addition, these products were not forgotten to be praised - like any other domestic products.
During the exercises of recent months, loitering drones attacked different targets. First of all, they hit ground targets of various kinds, mostly stationary. Launches against surface targets, including moving ones, were also demonstrated.
The last known training launches of Rezvans took place in late February, just days before the attack by the United States and Israel. It is quite possible that such firing was carried out not only to practice skills, but also as a kind of warning for potential opponents. However, foreign aggressors did not take into account these or other signals.
To repel aggression
It can be expected that the Iranian armed forces have now accumulated a significant stock of Rezvan products. During the current hostilities, these drones have not yet been used - the limited flight range does not allow them to be used in the current situation. However, the situation may change in the near future.
According to various sources, the United States is preparing a ground operation with the landing of a contingent on the Iranian coast or with an offensive from third countries. Regardless of the direction of such a strike, the Iranian army will be able to use its APs of various models against advancing enemy troops.
Obviously, new UAVs / Rezvan APs will also be used in such strikes. They will allow Iranian troops to identify the enemy and hit him within a radius of tens of kilometers from the starting position. Targets for such drones can be various armored vehicles, firing and launch positions of various systems, command posts, etc.
Technical features
Rezvan is an unmanned aerial vehicle designed to conduct reconnaissance, detect and subsequently destroy various ground targets. Apparently, it was developed taking into account Iran's own experience and current foreign ideas. This explains a certain similarity with the already known modern BB / UAV.
The drone is built according to a scheme popular among modern BBs. It received an elongated fuselage of a round cross-section, accommodating the main units. In the central part of the fuselage, folding planes of the X-shaped layout are installed on hinges. In the tail there is a plumage of a similar design.
The total length and wingspan of the Rezvan reach 1.5 m. Launch weight is 22 kg, of which 5 kg is accounted for by the combat load. The export version of the UAV carries a warhead weighing 4 kg.
Underwater launch of the drone: release of the TPK cover and UAV exit. Footage from an Iranian TV report
The UAV received an electric power plant. With the help of an electric motor and a pusher propeller, the device develops a speed of up to 60 km / h. Flight range was initially declared at the level of 20 km. Then a range of up to 50 km appeared in open materials with the possibility of increasing to 90 km. The flight takes place at altitudes of no more than 1500 m.
The video signal is transmitted by radio to the operator's console. The UAV/BB has a remote control mode and possibly some standalone functions. Apparently, it can move along a given route and aim at the object specified by the operator.
Control is carried out from a remote control in the form of a tablet computer with special software. The delivery set also includes communication equipment and other devices.
The drone is delivered in a cylindrical transport and launch container. The launch is carried out using a pyrotechnic charge, which ejects the AP from the TPK, and also gives it muzzle velocity.
On land and under water
Several options for using Rezvan are proposed. The unmanned system can be used as a portable or transportable one. In this case, the UAV TBM and the operator station are delivered to the starting position by the crew or by a suitable vehicle. The TBM is positioned in an inclined position with the help of a biped.
A version of a self-propelled complex based on a pickup truck was also demonstrated. A launcher for six containers is mounted in its body, and the controls are located in the cockpit. Camouflage in the form of a roof over the launcher is provided.
UAVs can be carriers of boats or ships. In this case, the TPK are installed directly on the deck. A variant of covert placement of the Rezvan in a body of water was also demonstrated. With the help of some equipment, the TPK is installed, apparently, on the bottom, in shallow water. At the command of the operator, the container lid is shot off and the AP is launched. Further flight takes place according to the standard program.
High potential
Loitering ammunition and other variants of light and medium class attack UAVs have long demonstrated their potential. With the competent organization of combat work, they can be a full-fledged means of reconnaissance and destruction or successfully complement other systems and complexes within a full-fledged grouping of troops.
The well-known Iranian BB / UAV fully meets the current requirements for such equipment and have demonstrated their capabilities during a variety of tests and exercises. Along with other products, the recently appeared "Rezvan" has also passed a similar test in practice.
Nevertheless, it should be borne in mind that the actual combat use of UAVs in an armed conflict is radically different from the use in the framework of exercises. A real enemy will use camouflage, organize air defense using a variety of means, etc.
According to various sources, the United States is preparing a ground operation against Iran. If these forecasts come true, then the Iranian armed forces will have the opportunity to test their weapons and equipment in battles against a developed enemy. Obviously, in such a situation, the new Rezvans will also be used. Whether such UAVs / APs will be able to confirm the design characteristics is still unclear.

I hope the number of UAVs Iran has produced is taken into account by US intel. All that there currently is, "is just talks" of a ground operation. I am still just convinced this is all just Iran and US launching missiles at each other's airbases.

I concur, but a bigger issue in that conflict was the restriction on operations in Northern Vietnam. In my opinion there would be no unified, non-communist Vietnam without the ability to invade the North, and that was compromised from the very beginning by political machinations.

AI-atollah.
They haven't. Learning is blasphemous. You should be illiterate like the Great Prophet. If you were supposed to know something, Allah will have you know it. Inshallah.
Anyway, it all must be face to face. They run things by Turd World rules, which is if you don't have your subordinate right there in front of you he might be slacking off or scheming against you! They might not understand your orders (as they are retarded turd worlders) or they might "not understand your orders" (as they are feckless, honorless turdworlders).
I had the misfortune of being attached to a project headed by a guy from the mideast who ran his department by Arab rules. I refused to conform to them, and but since I out produced his team he could do nothing but write seething emails and hit me with empty threats about getting me kicked off the project. Please do, 'Charlie' nothing would make me happier.
