Significant strike. Each one of these that bite the dust means 5-10 less planes raining bombs on Tehran. Iran has excellent targeting prioritization, much better than going after schoolchildren.

You can really tell they've planned this out. They took out all the early warning systems in the first days, and now they're hunting these high value targets.

Russia is also coaching them and providing live target info.

[–] reagansrottencorpse@lemmy.ml 13 points 4 months ago

I love that for them.

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 12 points 4 months ago

they do have a lot of experience with US tactics over the past for years they can pass on

And LOL at the western hypocrites crying about it.
They can train, arm, fund and send 'advisors' to the ukro's but Russia giving some satellite info is bad.

Well when you're up against ZERO FUCKING PLAN being enacted by the world's dumbest and most arrogant leader on your own home turf... It's kind of hard to lose, I imagine.

It feels like Iran is exposing the traditional US military as a bit of a paper tiger unless you count nukes. I’m sure I’m at least kinda wrong, but that’s the vibe I’m getting

US seemingly watched russia get rekt by ukrainian drones and decided they'd like a punch in the face as well. But who am I to judge those masochistic tendencies.

The US military did a Tobias Funke “but maybe it’ll work for us”

I think the last year of officer purges also has something to do with.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 23 points 4 months ago (2 children)

They didn't stop with the officers. They also purged a ton of their most competent enlisted personnel.

This is the first time the US actually tried to fight a technologically advanced army since WW2, and the results are frankly embarrassing.

They also hit a radar and two blackhawks with drones. And the best part part is, the radar taken out was a short range radar that was supposed to be used to track drones.

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 25 points 4 months ago

And you can see the bases are now completely abandoned too with the drones flying through them uncontested.

I am not asking for much, I just want to see the US defeated in West Asia and elsewhere around the world.

China will be capturing a lot of this data.

[–] rwrwefwef@sh.itjust.works 28 points 4 months ago

The odds are that they provided the intel; since it's thanks to Chinese satellites that we visually can confirm the hits. American companies have blacked out all sat pictures coming out of the middle East and Israel. Something, something about freedom of information.

It isn't about the size of the dog, it is the fight in it. The Iranian chihuahua has a death grip on the neck of the American doberman.

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 23 points 4 months ago (6 children)

I wouldn't exactly call a country of 90 million a chihuahua.
