Iran-Israeli Conflict Thread

The economics of defending against Iranian drones.

Iranian Shahed drones cost between $20,000 and $50,000 to build and launch at targets.

To engage and destroy the drones, American and allied forces in the Persian Gulf use multimillion-dollar interceptor missiles. In an unusual instance, an RAF pilot in an F-35 shot down two Iranian drones over Jordan. But close examination of the costs reveals that the UK spent far over half a million dollars to intercept two drones worth less than a fifth of that.

Iranian drones are punching through theater air defenses, and hitting very high-cost targets of great strategic value. Advanced radar systems used in air and ballistic missiles defense, and facilities for communications networks have been blown up.

Ironically, Shahed launches are successful, whether intercepted or not: the benefit/cost ratio is favorable to Iran in the extreme, irrespective of the outcome.

Shocked that the US/Israel didn't take advantage to knowledge transfer Ukraine's experience in Drone Warfare after all these years?

The Iranians have built underground missile cities spread out across their 31 provinces and decentralized their command structure. They realized they needed to do this after the Iraq-Iran War decades ago.

These are difficult to scope out and destroy unless you mount an successful invasion or use nukes so the early claim that the US has destroyed their missile capabilities is dubious to anyone with a normal level of IQ and paid attention.

Essentially, they have taken the concept of Viet Cong tunnel fighting and modernized it with missiles.

Unfortunately for the Iranians population, We are also seeing similar reactions where frustrated US/Israel will use their valuable weapons to go after low value civilians targets - just like Vietnam.

Kushner whose probably main task is being Ivanka handler started this war. In Trump first term it was exactly the same shit. Ivanka stepped away from polítics cause she was raised christian and has some decency (also Trump is a lunatic) but her handler continues to do damage. I bet he manipulates her. How much she can get from her father. Kushner is a loser. He could be jew but half competent. But his jew and incompetent. Trump can only endure him cause of his daughter. The question here is why did Kushner want this war. Netanyahu needed wars to stay out of jail. But kushner??? Influenced by netanyahu? And chabad lunatics?

She's an apostate, to Judaism at that. As for Kushner, he also "stepped away" and promised never to return only to come back as a "foreign policy advisor."
She will never be considered jewish by them. For you to be jew your mother had to be jewish also. Not father. The mother is the relevant parent. Even her kids are not considered jewish. I doubt she didnt realize this by now.

The heir of johnson & johnson once made a documentary on rich kids. And Ivanka featured and seemed really well raised.



She seems very smart but naive and too much politically correct though.

Kushner is a deluded incompetent jew loser. Who might destroy again Trump presidency.

The best for US and western world is middle east to remain without a leader. Giving Israel the power to dictate middle east affaires is counter productive. And will become a big problem in the future.
 
The Pentagon asking the White House for $200 billion to fund the war in Iran. Meanwhile, the US national debt hits $39 trillion. This level of debt can only be supported as long as oil is globally traded in US Dollars. Iran and BRICS are going to change that.

Araghchi: $200 billion is "the tip of the iceberg" and an "Israel-First Tax".






Reuters Chief National Security Reporter: Trump is considering deploying thousands of extra troops to the Middle East for the next stage of the war.

Joe Kent appearing on Tucker Carlson: “The Israelis drove the decision to take this action, which we knew would set off a series of events because the Iranians would retaliate.”





Joe Kent is being targeted by the FBI for leaking classified documents.





Jonathan Greenblatt: Joe Kent is an anti-Semite.





Mark Levin vs Joe Kent, Kabuki theatre or genuine?

Bloomberg: China to gain an edge from the war with Iran. Chinese military analyst: "This [war] demonstrates a clear hierarchy, Israel sits at the very top".

The China hawks will be having a fit as the US limitations are exposed, assets relocated, and stockpiles squandered.






AF Post: An American nurse in Germany has informed them that casualty figures, wounded and deceased, are far higher that what is being reported.
