Iran: the collapse

Pezeshkian has gone on Iranian state tv to apologise to the gulf states for the attacks and said that they will only attack them if attacked first.

This makes no sense to me. Either they have no more missiles to hit those targets, or they have hit all the prepared targets in those countries and have no more targets they can hit, or they fear the gulf states’ direct involvement, or they want the Americans to go back to their bases so they can just hit them again?

AlJazeera is suggesting he might just have made a decision without the support of the armed forces who can just ignore him, as a few missiles have still been launched at the gulf states regardless of what he said.

 

Had seen unconfirmed reports that Iran destroyed a huge, expensive radar system central to Patriot/THAAD in Qatar: here Foreign Policy casually confirms it, says it will take 5-8 years to rebuild, and that another destroyed in Bahrain will take 12-24 monthss to replace. https://t.co/sHlMjtVB6v pic.twitter.com/aHrcaCQxm2

Please for the love of Tehran Bob stop taking takes from economic newspapers, they are bad at this

They are incapable of doing basic research. Literally 4 years and in 2 of those we were occupied with you know covid. Since then RTX has increased capacity. And yes I saw them saying galium is the issue but they literally have no clue how fast that can be procured

Try googling better, and learning the difference between a mobile tactical radar system and a fixed strategic radar system.

 

I know more then you mr "Iran is playing 5D chess" and "Iran is now using their best weapons "

 

Well then you should be able to work out why the replacement time scales for the AN/TPY2 systems your links refer to have absolutely nothing to do with the replacement timescales for the AN/FPS-132, Mr Stable Genius.

Or do you want to tell us all what the two have to do with each other?

 

Because the article was about many thing radars that THAAD uses included. The AN/FPS-132 was damaged the AN/TPY2 one destroyed

 

Just recounting the allegations of non consenting minor victims.

 

Could you try that again but in English this time.

What does the four year timescale for delivering a mobile tactical radar system like the one delivered to Saudi Arabia by Raytheon, linked to in your article, have to do with the replacement timescales for a fixed, large building strategic radar system like the one destroyed in Qatar.

Look forward to your response, Mr I Know More Than You.

 

Read again. Bigsoccer glitched

The strategic radar system in Qatar was not destroyed. Damaged. FP are wrong

https://militarnyi.com/en/news/iran-damages-u-s-strategic-an-fps-132-radar-in-qatar/

See? Does it look destroyed to you? You don't have to trust me you have eyes right?

It takes years to build the infrastructure. The infrastructure still exists and the radar needs to be repaired not rebuilt.

But yes at least one AN/TPY2 was destroyed

 

You are not answering the question. I know you have said the strategic system is damaged not destroyed. Ok. But what does the timescale for the system in your article have to do with the timescale for the system damaged or destroyed in Qatar?

Answer: absolutely nothing.

This is like me saying it takes 15 years to grow an oak tree if it’s destroyed, and you saying Acshually it only takes 6 months to grow a hedge. And when I say a hedge is not an oak tree, you say well the oak tree is only damaged not destroyed.

Try. Googling. Better.

 

The article in the tweet is about many things and among them they list strategic radars hit by Iran.

The tweet is not the entire article

 

I think we were done about three posts back when we came to the mutual understanding that you didn’t know what you were talking about.

Have a great rest of the day.

 

Sure thing Nostradamus

Top notch stuff

 

This new Trump post doesn't change anything new. US is still going to attack, and Iran is still going to attack. It's PR

 

Gas price update in NJ. $3.39 at the Sunoco today.

While driving saw an F-150 with the usual bumper stickers - blue lives matter, punisher & the cherry on top "don't blame me, I voted Republican"

 

Guess I hit a nerve.

 

That lasted long

Official IRGC statement: “President Pezeshkian made a mistake [saying they won't attack neighboring countries], and our forces demonstrated his mistake. His comments were 5 hours ago, and since then Dubai and Abu Dhabi are being struck. Ignore Pezeshkian's words during the war.”

 

This is something, .....it's obvious those supporting him because of the current murderous regime, havenot been around when his father, just like this late ayathollah, sent out his armed men to massmurder his opponents. They didnot see on tv like me his father's murderers went into a hospital to grab a protester on the operating table after killing the medical staff operating on iirc his injuries.
It's just swapping from one criminal bunch to it's predecessor.
The Iranians deserve better than this continuation of 70 years of religious/imperial oppression.

 

Oww, so my initial relieve the depletion of US/Israeli ammo/missiles couldnot be continued because of the "collapse" of missile launches by Iran was premature?
Or doesnot this have an effect on the functioning of the Iron Dome?

 

I don't think China would appreciate Iran hitting those CCG tankers, as commentators suggesting China was going to/has been supplying Iran with sophisticated missiles forgot to mention that the oil coming to China via Hormuz for the greatest part comes from the CCG countries and only for a minor part from Iran.
So it's obvious that it's not in China's advantage to supply Iran with those things or they will demand iron clad promises those will only be used against Israeli/USA forces.

 

People forget that Khamenei was an unknown entity, chosen as a president for a temporary time. This unknown entity managed to keep a hold on Iran by way of becoming supreme leader via the Ayatollah election.

So be careful with whom you appoint as "temporary" solution.

 

Maybe people in Tehran just have a different view on this than a guy in Rotterdam.

 

The selve make believe delusional phantasies of right wingers is quite something.
But you're consistent in polluting the thread with non contributional shit.
And that IS a FACT, for everybody to see.

 

Seems the IRGC statement about President Pezeshkian. is in line with comments that Khamenei and the other leaders of the republic have been preparing for the killing of him and that the commanders at the base know what their objectives are and can act on those without further orders, the layering of the command structure downwards to prevent a command black out by the expected wholesale attack by the USA and Israel.
It makes it in fact a bit difficult to negotiate a surrender, while those negotiating top layers havenot got the authority to undo the instructions put in the hands of the commanders at the base.
