  1. How high can those f35's fly anyway?
    Are these, like airplanes, capable to fly in very low oxigen hights?
     
  2. He's a perennial liar and a mass murderer.
    What did Iran do with all those nukes bibi predicted since whenever? Dropped on israel before the Atomic agency could find them?

    Please.

    I have already explained that unless they directly participate in hostilities they are non-combatants.

    If there were Hutu TV stations (more likely you refer to the radio stations) that acted as communications hubs to call or organise genocide, they would lose protected status. If they were merely stating the news in a very biased way, they would not.

    if you want to use the Rwanda example, then the TV stations that should be bombed are israeli rather than Iranian, as only one country’s media is actively supporting a genocide.

    Why don’t you show me why you think the Iran tv bombing was justified instead of finding any exception that disproves the rule.

  9. Pffft, the last one to call for an uprising is the very sibling of a marionet, planted to replace a democratic chosen one.

    And that worked out so well for Iraq, surely it'll go just as well with its neighbor.

    Although, if the Iranian regime falls, this could work out for Iraq as the pro-Iranian Shia militias would lose their benefactor.

    Whether the shia regime falls or not doesnot change the fact Iran still is the shia nation with about iirc the majority of the total shia population existing.
    So they still feel under siege by the about 85% sunni of the total muslim population.
    the fall of the ayatollahs isnot going to change the under siege feeling and thus supporting the shia population will still matter to any regime next in Iran.

    As I had said for a while...

    China sends mystery transport planes into Iran
    -The Telegraph

    https://www.yahoo.com/news/china-se...5CrymVWMavNP0QuEgZphQ1GCrIeMKrCeRE3zFwFnu31db
    • A day after Israel attacked Iran on Friday, a cargo plane took off from China. The next day, a second plane departed from a coastal city. Then on Monday, yet another departed, this time from Shanghai – three flights in three days
    • To add to the mystery, flight plans indicated a final destination of Luxembourg, but the aircraft appeared to have never flown near European skies.
    • Concern has erupted in response over what might have been sent from China in the direction of Iran as Tehran’s war with Israel rages on.*
    • The worry is real – aviation experts have noted that the type of plane used, Boeing 747 freighters, are commonly used for transporting military equipment and weapons, and hired to fly government contract orders.
    *China has "claimed" that their new radar system JY-27V could detect US 5th generation stealth fighter jets. Could be that for testing or the components to manufacture more missiles or both - I don't know.

    Meanwhile, Israel is destroying villages in Syria because they’re too close to the military base Israel is building inside Syria.

  17. If Trvmp is stupid enough to attack Iran/assasinating the leader, there's no need for them not to attack American bases in the ME. The only reason not to do it, is to prevent drawing them into the war with Israel.
    So if Trvmp does attack, it gives China the chance to do to the USA what currently is happening to Russia, killing and destroying military assets by proxy.
    If those planes contain the means to hit the American fleet/bases (like stuff to be tested for accuracy/destructiveness/etc in real combat circumstances/situations) bibi could seriously deteriorate/derail the Pacific strategic situation for the USA.

  20. Can someone explain to me that both Trvmp and idf claim to control the skies over Iran/teheran and yet reports are coming in that huge planes from China landed in Teheran.
    upload_2025-6-18_5-7-19.png
    Somebody is lying.
    Neither Iran, nor China mention any plane being sent.
    So, the control isnot complete at all, or the Chinese managed to dodge being detected, or the Chinese told Israel they send planes and issued a threat they couldnot risk to take.

  23. Ah, okay. So not possible to fly above those balloons to avoid detection.
    What I don't understand is why one can detect the F35 from above by scanning for infrared, and not from the ground or in another fighter.
    You can't isolate infrared internally in the plane, you get cooked. So infrared has to be detectable from the ground too.
