I recently read that Bradley has finally been greenlighted (greenlit?) to be upgraded with Iron Fist LD APS after improvements had increased reliability to 70%, up from something like 50-60% before. When Stryker Slat was fielded it was said to be only 50% effective in tests. Edited April 13 by MikeyD 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haiduk Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 (edited) Well, it's began. Soon Israel will hear "mopeds" in the air. I wish good hunting to Israeli AD and to wipe out Iranian militray industry for Israeli missile troops Pro-Iranian group Katib Hezbollah in Southern Iraq claimed military operation against Israel. I suppose, South Lebanon Hezbollah will do the same later. It's a good opportunity to bomb into stone age one country of the "Evil Axis". But balls are needed Edited April 13 by Haiduk 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bombing people to the stone age has already escalated this to a level that was uncalled for.. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But balls are needed Not just balls but a lot of US provided weapons as well. Those weapons would be of use in your country better against the russians. Israel picked a very peculiar time to get into an escalation circle in the middle east. All the support that is wasted on Israel us gonna be missed in Ukraine. That's even more concerning when you realize that Iran cant really do anything other than political stunts with its drone and proxies. All of that is pointless and lead to nothing but wasting efforts and assets on the middle east. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, they mostly will be needed in long range weapon, which USA rejected to give to Ukraine. Guys. Wake up. West, stucking on "tolerance, multiculturalism, diversity, inclusive, 100500 genders, LGBT, BLM, coala saving and carbon trail" lost sense of reality in that time, when dictatorships were arming, using western technologies to contest post WWII world order. WW3 is coming. It will not be like WWII, It will begin like several distant regional conflicts tied with one goal - to weaken West. And then... If this probes are not stopped, the global clash will begin. So, Iran-Israeli conflict maybe it's not good for us in short perspective, but probable weaken of Iran it's a good for future. If some of "Evil Axis" will get bright blow at own teeth, than less probability that West will fight directly in huge global war in nearest 10-15 years Edited April 13 by Haiduk 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to live in such idiotic society Do you really think people in Europe don't use the word "woman" anymore? Dunno what right-wing nonsense you are consuming, but I would stop, otherwise people might come to the conclusion that more aid to Ukraine is not necessary since they apparently already got bombed back into the stone age anyway. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NamEndedAllen Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 (edited) Waiting for the first ballistic missile strikes and the wave of 100 drones launched earlier at Israel, from Iran. Missiles announced moments ago, after this link. https://www.cnn.com/middleeast/live-news/israel-hamas-war-gaza-news-04-13-24/index.html Edited April 13 by NamEndedAllen 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NamEndedAllen Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 (edited) Mark Hertling CNN talking about the potential for a well-coordinated attack stretching the stocks of ABMs to take out the missile attack, then followed by the drone attack soon after, making that effort more difficult. His concern is whether other bad actors like Hamas and the Hutis and Hezbollah (?) also launching attacks timed to add to and try to overwhelm Israeli air defenses. USA naval assets are likely to augment those air defenses. Realizing that this may be off topic, I am thinking that the need to restock ALL combatant nations is ramping up the free world’s scarce resource of all the various missiles necessary for air defenses. Ukraine of course already facing a daily drain on its stocks. edit - would seem highly likely that a ton of money could be made investing in the several companies that produce the various components of these missiles.

kimbosbread Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Yeah, we gotta have cost-effective drone interceptors. Missile interception is gonna just be more expensive just by nature of the speeds and energies involved, unless we put a bunch of orbital nuke-powered platforms up, ie your jewish space lasers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to live in such idiotic society Real life is very different from what you read in social media. Those things you mentioned do exist, but they are few and far between. It is blown out of proportion by the media. Take it with a grain of salt and don't fall for the propaganda. Live in general changes very little and very slow. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kraft Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Lets not drag gender politics from twitter into this when so many more interesting things are happening. I believe this will remain a missile/drone campaign to further reduce already low AD stocks in the west and divert attention, cause instability and uncertainty. Lets see how much AD the US suddenly has available if Israel asks for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
