US - Israel - Iran War

I understand national pride, I have it myself. However China does have it's issues


President Clinton once said, "It's the economy that matters, stupid." China's current predicament is mainly caused by the economy. We have 10 million college graduates every year. A 5% economic growth can only create 5-8 million new jobs. China's housing prices are too high, resulting in a household debt ratio of more than 70%, which has suppressed people's consumption and aggravated the economic difficulties.
 

Beijing condemned Israel’s sweeping strikes on Iranian nuclear and military sites shortly after they began as a violation of “Iran’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity,” according to a June 14 Chinese foreign ministry readout. Beyond rhetoric, however, Beijing has offered no material aid or mediation plan, underscoring the widening gap between China’s great power aspirations in the Middle East and its limited ability to shape fast-moving crises.

No, we cannot form an alliance with Iran, and we cannot choose sides between Shiites and Sunnis.
The core of China's Middle East strategy is the GCC countries. We import 40% of our oil and natural gas from them. Ensuring China's energy security is the core of China's Middle East strategy.

Sure pal, whatever floats your boat.
 
It's AI generated he's just coping. No IAF fighters have been shot down or gone down yet but the longer the war goes and the intensity IAF is using their strike fighters eventually it's going to happen.
Yea considering the state of Iranian AD I'll be surprised if they manage to take down any F15s. Maybe they can manage a single F16. Maybe.... As for F35 as ugly as it may look there's a higher probability of Somalia sinking a destroyer than Iran taking down an F35 with their current AD systems.

China is not the US which can launch an armada of C17s a fleet of KC tankers and rows of naval assets anywhere in the world to support any ally. They are at least 10-15 years away from this capability and even then they will be behind the US as China will never have the same number of terrestrial support bases the US possesses now even if PLAN builds a fleet of nuclear carriers.
 
Failed Marsh Munir in between some hard place and Trump. wish list most likely include F16 upgrade ,long range ground based radar ,long range Aamram , Patriot missile defence to control TTP and BLA , money flow from IMF , eye wash in FATF. Hope Munir goes against Iran and open a front for long term.

First night likely more than half of the F-35 fleet was used and when the IADS threat was eliminated F-35 use was more for protecting F-15's and F-16's with EW and doing ISR missions hunting ballistic missiles or its TELs. They were likely also used as early warning for ballistic misslile launches.

Once they fired the launchers give their location away and that is how IAF was able to take out a huge chunk of launchers and ballistic missiles.

Footage of an Israeli air strike on an Iranian, presumably ammunition depot or military barracks in the Isfahan area. The video was filmed from two angles, the type of Israeli ammunition used is unknown.

Are we to understand the IsAF was on station 24x7 for it to carry out demolition duty as soon as those missiles were fired or are we to understand that those TELs continued where they were after firing those missiles waiting for the IsAF to take them out ?

Or once having fired those missiles Mossad field agents in Iran began tracking them on the ground , painting them for the IsAF to execute strikes on them .

Which scenario is most likely to have occurred ?
 
The first confirmed footage of an Israeli Hermes 900 drone shot down by Iranian air defense systems. The wreckage of the Israeli drone was found in the Isfahan area; it is unknown what air defense Iran used. The Hermes 900 reconnaissance UAV has been produced by the Israeli company Elbit Systems since 2011. The UAV has a long flight range and is designed for surveillance and strikes in all weather conditions. The Hermes 900 UAV is equipped with satellite communications, optical-electronic sensors, infrared cameras, a laser target designator-rangefinder, synthetic aperture radars, and a target detection radar system. The UAV flight duration is up to 36 hours. The drone weighs 970 kg and can carry up to 300 kg of payload. The UAV flight altitude is up to 9000 km. Flight speed is up to 220 km/h. The price of the Hermes 900 UAV is about 20-30 million dollars.
