Footage shows Iranian missiles breaching Israeli, US defences and striking military targets, indicating poor hypersonic weapon interception.

    Good, we deserve an equivalent response. The bullies need humbled.

    This is nothing new, mapping out radars and intercept infra in advance, plus overwhelming the response ability, depleting interceptor stock with cheap rockets and drones is basic modern warfare, just as in NATO-Russia war.

      The crazy part here is that NATO evidently hasn’t learned anything at all over past 4 years.

        They only learn after the fact. When their own blood drenches the sand.

    It seams like the US isn’t interested in winning wars, they just like starting them and then extending them for as long as possible.

      The way that normally works is that the US will isolate a country that can’t fight back and then commit war crimes there for decades because it’s a good profit vehicle for the military industry. They control the level of escalation, and they’re able to turn heat up when they want or to cool things down when they need to.

      The difference with Iran is that it’s not isolated, and it’s able to fight back in a meaningful way. The US does not have escalatory dominance in this conflict. And that’s a whole new development for the burger reich.

      Can only see a bit of it due to ads. Can’t scroll past. There is nowhere to turn them off.

    The US uses its operations to test out kit as well. Desert Storm was especially useful in that regard as there was plenty of time in the build up. Could it be the pesky Chinese and Russians are doing the same. Uncle Sam may come away with a bloody nose unless this is resolved quickly.

      You’d think the US would’ve already been learning these lessons in Ukraine, but evidently they were not. And this is the first time the US got itself into a war where it does not control escalation. I don’t see why Iran would settle for anything less than pushing the US out of the region entirely at this point.
