And that's never a good situation. a) Trump can't pull back now. He wants to get a win and hurt China. b) Iran knows that strait of hormuz is it's only leverage again trump. If they release this, they are cooked. Don't see how any negotiation can happen under circumstances. From India's point of view, I am less concerned about oil now and more fertilizers. Secondary effects will start to show in couple of months. Don't know how they are planning to manage this piece. Why I think 2-3 weeks is because no one has appetite to extend this any further. So, US will go for max damage and in process burn the whole country and economy down. You can imagine what implications will be then. Iran for sure will not be waving the white flag. They will fight to the last of their ability. Iran will lose the war, but someone's going to get hurt really really bad. This will dwarf anything that has occurred after World War 2.

But he needs to go easy on misinformation like Russia sending boatloads of s400 in antolovs in the middle of the war and Iran using it next day to hit the f35... randomGuy 1

As i said, real strength of usa is the us dollar that allows them to borrow with impunity. Isn't that a. Fair trade... Human lives need to be valued ..lessons for India...not just in warfare but everywhere else too

But there was one more incident a couple of weeks back where the f35 was targetted and shot and the pilot recieved some injuries as well. Even if the plane made it back home after deploying counters. The point is that the stealth aircraft was hit as well and likely by the s400s There is no s400 in Iran..it is invisible to radars anyhow ..Iran is using a heat based system and not a radar based system

I don't think they have S400 Russians can't supply these at short notice with their own war ongoing They are extremely late on India deliveries for which they were paid in advance. These could be HQ9 variants (but better than Pak ones) Also US has kinda complete air superiority over Iranian airspace so it is a possibility they miscalculated perhaps??
ravishingravi Posted April 5 Posted April 5 It's interesting that MAGA is trying to distance themselves from the war but yet trying to protect Trump by calling it Israel's war. It is not Israel's war.
kepler37b Posted April 5 Author Posted April 5 As I thought, Iran is a paper tiger. They were unable to capture a pilot 50km from isfahan. Haters can whine as much as they want, but USA has pulled off a daring raid deep inside enemy territory. Full marks to commitment and planning. And also shown how relatives of powerful men in the regime are living a GAE lifestyle. IRGC is a bunch of whining little bitches. But still, Trump is not a leader fit to lead america. I hope he looses the mid terms.

That's because Brahmos is a cruise missile which flies at very low altitudes and moves at Mach 3 speeds (4 times faster than Tomahawks), making it very difficult to detect and intercept.

A country that has been sanctioned to the core and builds all it's stuff from scratch has managed to take this war to more than a month already and still has the cards to put gulf countries in danger thereby having long term repercussions on US hegemony. They have already exceeded what was expected of them. Edited April 5 by MechEng

US is losing strategically is obvious to anyone who has watched how Iraq & Afghan wars went. Edited April 5 by IndianRenegade
