Carrot and stick. Thump is the carrot and Israel is the stick. Quicker they accept the carrot the less damage the stick will do to Iran.

We as well as outer allies helped shoot down incoming drones and missiles last time.

Defensive actions and far different than offensive actions. Having more damage within Israel would only escalate the war more as Israel seeks retribution. It’s bad enough most of the missiles are targeting urban centers while it appears for the most part Israel targeted military/nuke sites/energy sites as opposed to urban centers. They did hit some as they were targeting leadership.
You can easily overwhelm defenses with large waves. Considering how many have gotten threw vs number fired it is very successful.

We also get to see the damage in Israel in full display due to Israel being an open country. But for perspective say a dozen missiles got through. According to a quick search, irans missiles can carry a 750kg to 1500kg payload, depending on what missile. 1 2000lb bomb is 907kg. And f-35 or F-15 can carry multiple on each sortie. And they are much more accurate than a missile launched from hundreds of miles.

Based on the number of missions and Israel having air superiority Israel is definitely getting they advantage
One ballistic misse is 750kg to 1500kg of payload.

A normal JDAM is 2000lb (907 kg). So 2 JDAM is greater the one ballistic missile and the F-35 can carry two internal. More external.

So we are seeing a few ballistic missiles getting through while Israel has air superiority and dropping multiple bombs per sortie.
That’s another reverse played video. An impacting missile would have higher velocity. That’s they anti missile rockets launching to intercept but played in reverse…..
Well they are using a lot of Russia made weapon systems……
While I do believe majority don’t want to participate, an X poll is not very scientific…….

She and their group are lucky they were beaten and arrested by the Egyptians. What would have happened in Gaza by Hamas would have been much, much worse…… especially for a blond woman…..

You're getting a lot of play out of 1 successful hit, in a residential neighborhood. I get that's your favorite target, but


Also, Iran’s ballistic missiles can carry between 750kg to 1500 kg depending on the model launched.

An F-35 can carry 8160kg internally (stealth mode). However it is likely carrying more fuel for the distance. Either way, one F-35 carrying multiple times the explosive power of 1 ballistic missile, of which 2-4 have gotten through. One F-35 mission has node more then that and there have need hundreds of successful missions over Iran

Throw in that the Iranian missiles appear to be targeting civilian population areas…..

I thought it was universally agreed that Iran has the vehicle(s) to deliver the weapon, but maybe I’m mistaken. Do they not have missile capabilities up to and including intercontinental?


They have the missiles that can hold a nuke, but the nuke needs to be miniaturized enough to fit in the payload cone and meet the payload weight limits.

Mitigating the damage to Israel by helping intercept incoming missiles and drones. The more that gets through hitting civilian targets the more likely Israel is to escalate their retaliation to those attacks.

Iran had the option to accept a peace deal with no nukes and no sanctions. Trump had his team directly negotiating with Iran.

You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him drink…..
It’s in Putin’s interest that fighting stops

1) Iran supplies drones and other arms to Russia
2) Russia is a major arms exporter. They do not need to show how bad Russian weapon systems (s-300s and s-400s) fair against western made weapon systems.
Seems Iran is losing so bad they are resorting g to edited videos to gain some points
Most don’t know that Israel and the Shaw’s Iran were close.
A successful test does not mean they have the capabilities to deliver to Israel.

Also Israel has way more than Iran if they have them at all. I would imagine a successful test would Ramp up Israel’s attacks on launchers military bases and nuke facilities as well as leadership positions.

Think it would take actual nuke usage to elicit a retaliatory nuke counterattack.

That’s not hiding them. That is were anti/missile rockets need to be placed. You place them where you need to protect. These are short range, defensive rockets. Hamas was hiding offensive rockets in civilian areas.
Thought something odd in the original post of the video. The supposed rockets were coming in on top of each other which resembled MRLS rockets not ballistic. And MLRS are shorter range.

Israel would never lie, would they?


could be both.... Israel intercepted that missile but its remnants still landed and exploded..... remember gulf war I for example....
