This is going to be a great movie.
Just hope Hollywood doesn't embellish the shit out of it.

We been pilots and shieeetttt.

The two times Trump has asked for a ceasefire coincides with the completion of Russian air defense systems in Iran. S400 causes a lot of problems. S500 is suppose to be the best in the world and that's why Iran is now hitting more accurately since April 3rd and bringing down planes it previously couldn't.

I figure what USA did to Russia in Ukraine now Russia will do to USA in Iran.

China, North Korea and Russia are supplying Iran with weapons and it gets worse every day. The biggest winner of the Iran-Israel-USA war will be China.

Sounds impressive until you realize the only planes they've brought down were a single F-15E which is a 45 year old design, an A-10 which is a low altitude attack craft, a couple of choppers, and a slow moving C-130....wake me up when when they get an F-22 or an F-35.

But Trump and Kegsbreath said their anti air defenses were 100% destroyed? And then they got 4 aircraft in one day.
Pretty good slingshots I guess.

Shouldn't you be watching Artemis on CNN?

We have four F-15s down already. I don't care about excuses, justifications, lies or propaganda. All that matters in a fight is the end result.

That F-35 says damaged. I don't think that's a good thing.

 

[VonBonfire]

We have four F-15s down already.

In an estimated 5,700-13,000 sorties flown.

I think it's a little early to start freaking out.

Yes it is early. Compare S300s vs S400s vs S500s separately and see what the results for all three would be.

Not freaking out at all. Just pointing out you said one and wiki says four. Doesn't matter what you do to win a war. All that is going to matter is the final end result.

Agreed, but if you are suggesting Iran knocking down a few antiques is going to affect the final result I would disagree.

So the US is flying antiques in its flagship war?

I'm not an expert so it's just conversation but I have to warn you that I played a lot of Axis and Allies in my youth.

Probably the only concept I've watched you manage to grasp on this forum. Excellent work.

Occasionally I think you're a decent guy, then you quickly remind me otherwise. Have a good night.

I'm no fan of couchy, but i think he said his mother is deceased.

She must have died of embarrassment.

 

[NoHassle]

wake me up when when they get an F-22 or an F-35.

Make no mistake...the S400 and S500 will easily bring down an F-22 and a F-35 just like the antiques were brought down.

Everyone should be concerned that Russia doesn't start giving Iran offensive weapons like the Oreshnik missile because if they do Israel is totally gone and anyone in the region they target will also be gone and there isn't a thing anyone can do to stop them.

For the doubters...place your bets.

That would just be an escalation, we would probably bring out the space weapons.

Maybe but so would Russia.

"How do you feel, Mr. Minister, about the massive equipment losses of your US friends in this operation? Don’t you think they deserve your congratulations!
— 1×F-15E Strike Eagle
— 2×HH-60 helicopters
— 2xMH-6 Little Bird
— 2×A-10 Thunderbolt II
— 2×C-130 Hercules
—2×MQ-9 Reapers?"

Tally up the damage in terms of dollars and what would that be?

How many hours of was a S500 in use? How many hours of fighting? A vehicle an hour lost in combat?

That was their first day with the S500. I don't think that was luck. They'll just get better with it and more of them. Yes they used a few other weapons. A bolt action rifle took down a US helicopter and they have the guy on TV talking about it. The guy looks like 65 years old with a gun older than him.

Donald Trump makes more posts on Truth Social per day than I make on Rig Talk. That's fucked.

We haven't learned much. I was enlisted in the Persian Gulf at the time.
At least Carter had the guts to address the nation and tell WTF was going on.

Speculation for now.
