"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.

You are easily shaken.

11 airecraft equals "massive" equipment losses? LOL ok.

And a dude with a "bolt action rifle" is likely working with a more powerful cartridge than the average "assault" weapon lefties freak out about. It's not the first time small arms fire has taken down a chopper.

A couple of you guys should join the french military because your ability to surrender is unparalleled.

I have no military experience or real knowledge of how things work.

I wouldn't worry about the French if I were American; I'd be worried about America's greatest ally Israel.

I'm sure that when that Israeli soldiers wakes up from his nap and crawls out of the crib with Tweety he'll be right there in Iran fighting alongside America. Good luck!

You should sign up to fight on the front line if you're so brave...

I figured that out after reading your posts days ago.

Speculation for now.

Maybe but if we're being reasonable, objective and openly honest...I'd say it's a fact.

Anti systems like these aren't fool proof when it comes to downing missiles but planes it's a given.

I'm just saying it remains to be seen. Both the F-22 and those missile systems were designed around the same time period so it's a big maybe until it happens assuming they are gonna field those more advanced fighters.

I do know that the F-15E is basically a flying antique. A pretty badass flying antique but it's old. The F-15EX is the more up to date version. My guess is the russian missiles won't have as much luck with the more advanced stuff.

Using a S400 and or a S500 I'll take that bet without hesitation.

Remember Top Gun is 100% bullshit and then some.

It's still an unknown.

Not sure why you brought up a cheesy hollywood movie.

Yes, for now it's an unknown fact.

It was a cheesy movie.

I mentioned it because I highly suspect some people here believe some of that shit.

Lol, both tops guns were very cheesy although I would say we do actually have black craft capable of insane feats of speed and who knows what else. Bearing in mind they never declassified the top speed of the SR-71 and that was a design dating back to the early 60's. I am certain we have stuff that can outrun a Russian missile, I just doubt we'll be using it fighting a war in podunk Iran. Off to chops me some firewood...catch you later.

Not to mention all the destroyed THAAD batteries and US bases rendered uninhabitable.
