Iran, round 2

Round 2 is just same as round 1, war without a plan.
It would appear that the entire premise of Operation Epstein's Fury is to bomb Iranian air defense so that the population will rise up and overthrow an ingrained theocracy presumably using the now overwhelming air power they don't have.

Seems the Board of Peace got Bored with Peace.
 
One aircraft I can understand but three seems a little beyond a "mistake".
Besides what are the pilots doing while all this is happening as the videos so far show absolutely no defensive maneuvers or countermeasures deployed.

Unless it was a 3 plane formation.
 
Why on earth does America think Europe should bail them out of a war they started without justification or a plan?
Especially after the great orange Muppet has spent the better part of the last six months insulting, threatening and demeaning the sacrifices those allies made for the USA in the past.
This is another one of those "you made your bed" moments.

Spot on. It's interesting though that the war has cut off a big % of oil that China was importing while China supports the country that shut down the Strait.

Chinese oil is still sailing, they are one of about four countries Iran is allowing through the straits of hormuz.

While true I would point out that it missed the island.
There is a little more to rocketry than pumping in more fuel, pointing it and hoping.
At the end of the day it was a legitimate military target unlike threatening to destroy power plants and civilian infrastructure.

Apparently, one was intercepted, so that one had to have been close.
 
Seems the Iranians did some damage, impressive given that we keep hearing from the Mango Mussolini that the Iranian military had been wiped out and they were "begging" for a deal.

Me thinks someone is delusional and at this point I am not convinced it is the Iranians.
 
Near destroyed may have been an understatement

I have little doubt there were Saudi aircraft there as well, just goes to show how good that Iranian intelligence system is to time and execute an attack that can do that level of damage, fortunately I am reliably informed by an orange raving lunatic that the Russians aren't involved because they said they werent.

What I do find interesting is that Iran is currently doing to USA and Israel what Ukraine has done to Russia for the last four years and if they dump 15k marines and airborne troops on Kharg Island then the cost will be tragic in the world of drone warfare.
