The market for Russian air defense systems has to be practically nonexistent at this point.
Amazing.
suck it
“Please, I’m begging you, take another swing.”
Trained against SA-20s in the US. This is what tickles my balls.
The SA-20 is no joke, but also not a biggie against a F-35 and proper planning, both of which the IAF has access to.
Basically, Israel ran over and ripped their pants down. If they try to retaliate, the next strike by Israel will be much worse given their defenses are weakened.
I read the israelis first blinded the installations with a cyberattack and then took them out by F-35.
And of Israel’s 100 planes, how many were damaged or destroyed? None? If so, than those AA’s didn’t do a lot.
To be fair, Iran did say their AD systems stopped a majority of the missiles. They just didn’t mention how they stopped them…
Iran is in the find out part.
That’s hilarious
Israel is far from perfect, but I must admit, they’ve been kicking some serious ass recently.
To all the people saying Iran is not Iraq and their advanced Russian air defense network is the real deal. Lol.
I saw a single line on some obscure article saying Israel used a cyberattack beforehand freezing their S300 radar screens. I don’t see this mentioned anywhere though. Has anybody else seen this mentioned anywhere?
Now take out their voicemail systems and send the US telemarketers.
Oh, so they are right… they didn’t lose anything of value…. /s
This is the benefit of a stealth aircraft. You won’t be able to detect/lock the aircraft until it is absurdly close. But before that happens, they’ve launched their payload and have turned back.
They might detect something is coming, but they sure as fuck won’t be able to lock on to it. And then suddenly, they have a barrage of low flying cruise missiles with seconds notice coming their way.
This is what happens when 1980s technology clashes with modern technology.
So the F35 works is the take from this.
Turkey must be regrading trading F-35s for the Russian carap about now
Our country is fighting against soviet equipment for 75 years now.. it was never a question whether we can bypass the russian air defense, because we strike Syria regularly.
It was only a question of how far would we go in regard to leaders, institutions, infrastructure etc, but i guess we made the right call, because there is no need to humiliate them in front of the world, strategic strikes are much more effective in the long game.
And also the Americans are very sensitive during election and Netanyahu feared it may look like he’s trying to influence the elections by striking Oil or Nuclear sites.
200 ballistic missiles may look cool and powerful on social media, which is exactly what Iran needs to keep its supporters and not lose face.
I guess its all up to the U.S elections now, and Irans ‘response’.
Iran are stupid just for giving Israel a free pass at bombing their country. They could have sat in the background, making money, letting others do their dirty work, advancing their technology but their fragile egos are that small that even when their command is basically caught red handed helping Israel’s enemies they couldn’t take it and lashed out (and didn’t even do much damage)
This just gave Israel an excuse to go in with their best weapons, remove all their defences, hinder production of the weapons which their proxies are using and what are hurting Israel and give a huge warning to Iranian leadership, next time it’s you guys, try and stop us.
Serious miscalculation by Iran & by proxy Russia.
>Among the critical Iranian military infrastructure destroyed on Saturday were its three surviving S-300 long-range surface-to-air missile systems. This is the assessment of unnamed U.S. and Israeli officials speaking to the Wall Street Journal. Iran’s only other S-300 system was already hit by Israel earlier this year.
For comparison, here’s a random internet source saying how many S-300P systems Russia has:
>The system entered operational service in 1978. In 2000, deployment of the system peaked, with Russian air defense forces fielding approximately 1,900 S-300 launchers. By 2017, however, the number of active launchers dropped to around 800.

“minimal damage”

Hopefully that makes it safer for civilians air traffic in Iran.
There’s something so poetic about knocking out the enemy’s air defenses from … the air.
