If anyone is friends with any Georgian air traffic controllers, buy them a nice bottle of wine. As guardians of pretty much the only narrow gap still available between Europe and Asia that avoids both Iran, the Gulf, Ukraine and Russia, they are under some substantial pressure.

I think the hit was confirmed pretty early. There was major arguments if its US radar or not. Its not, bought 2013

Confirmed the AN/FPS-132 phased array radar in Qatar was damaged by Iran, thanks to an incredible image from our friends @planet.com

Debris from the damaged face has fallen on the roof of the main building and there is water runoff from the firefighting effort

A large fiery trail observed in the sky over Russia’s Rostov region. According to local Russian sources in the Rostov region: β€œAs a result of the UAV attack, unfortunately one of our Russian Aerospace Forces (VKS) assets was destroyed. Eternal memory to the fighters.”

Im not saying it correct. I'm saying how Putins going to play it and how our wusses don't understand bluff

Because they send 1 or 2 pairs. They could send more but taking 8 losses for 12 remaining and attacking Ukrainian positions is not worth it. Not so with Western planes, because for them it is worth it. And its not for us (us being EU public)

Or they might not, absolutely. But you can't sell the risk

Because tick for tack isint worth it. Put one western plane there they will send 20, 12 will get through. Then my scenario plays

I'm not saying fair or justice. I'm saying reality. The % of people who are willing to go to war with russia, over Ukraine, is less than 20%. You can call it sad or unjust but are you saying tyranny for peace? Play it for me

Fighters pal. Any forgein plane gets challenged, russia doesn't care about losses. In that case ours give up, making it useless or engage. And that's war with russia. Sell that to Spain or Italy

Because russia has AA, Iran doesn't. Zero (well 1%) risk vs a lot of risk. Absolutely nothing more

Nobody, neither US or the Gulf States are using Patriots against Shaheds. There have been zero videos of this happening and all of them have much more optimal means. Not always parity in money but not 4 million ones.

P.S Shades don't cost 20k. Iran has launched 3k nobody has that many Patriot inc

Andres is great guy but this is just wrong. Not only is there zero evidence or reason for it. Math doesn't check out

We have less than 10% in video but what we have is decimation

Nop. Confirmed fully loaded. Rare for Ukrainians to hit but LNG is better than oil.

BlueQuan clown, read like 3 Iranian feeds. What they want? But nah, ivory towers of dumbness is better! Trump being a pedo doesn't mean that Khamenei wasn't top5 mass murder while he was alive. Nobody misses him

That doesn't mean they can't strike. And that drones aren't an issue, albit currently softer than many want to claim. And maybe inceptors run our etc. But currently their response is toothless. And while 6x US KIA are headlines, russia loses that in 90 seconds every day past 6 months 2/2

Additional points. Iran has so far launched roughly 700 ballistic missiles in total but these include short-range ones. In June last year they manged salvos of 50 medium and long-range ones. We see nothing like it. Given the existential differences of the wars, they just don't have it 1/2

Dude, read a bit. Several sources would better than one but one would be better than none. Then check kill counts vs videos published vs sorties. Then cross check with other sources known vs unknown. After that give pointless conjecture?

Sure they lie to get Iranian numbers small to make them look LESS of a threat and then lie about their strikes (videos backing, must be AI) to make wieords in internet right πŸ™„πŸ™„
