  • I propose a toast:  To the incompetence of Iranian aviation.  Hear, hear! And  on a positive note, congrats to President Raisi: he quit smoking yesterday!

    I don’t think killing Iranians is an appropriate level of response for them shooting down a robot.  One of the advantages of RPAs is we can lose a few.  Had they killed aircrew, let’s start collecting

I wouldn't be surprised if Iran targets this US Base/capability located in Israel????

- “Site 512,” the longstanding U.S. base is a radar facility that monitors the skies for missile attacks on Israel." 

- "Site 512, however, wasn’t established to contend with a threat to Israel from Palestinian militants but the danger posed by Iranian mid-range missiles."

- etc:

Man, this idiot doesn’t know crap!

I was saying the same thing sitting in the vault for the Al-Assad attack.  "no way they do it" 🙂 Never again

Hitting a base we’re using in Iraq is quite different than saying they’re hitting the US, ie in our own country.  I just don’t see them hitting Israel (ie in their own country) in the next 48 hours.  But we’ll find out soon enough.

You were saying....

If we need to launch a "massive drone attack" against IRGC-affilated bad dudes in response, I volunteer to take flight lead. I know a ton of good dudes & dudettes who can fill out the strike package 🇺🇸

Do ICBMs count as drones?

Iran’s attack seemed planned to minimize casualties while maximizing spectacle

Such insightful analysis from CNN.  I am sure the wall of Raptors, Adir's, Sufa's and Ra'am's, GPS spoofing, Iron Dome, David's Sling, Arrow, Jordanian Air Force and Air Defense had nothing to do with it.

Seems like a perfect chance to test Dark Eagle. This will arrive a lot faster than their drones. Infographic.png?resize=780%2C465&ssl=1

USAF shot down 70....repeat 70 drones last night.  How many drone aces in the strike eagle community today?

Only counts if this is how it was done image.thumb.png.795005eaa47cb6a8a23e909cc36ecf7b.png

Call my accounts manager…. Tell him to put half of it in Raytheon.

Please tell me those were gun kills, and they didn't use 70 missiles.

Zero.  No such thing.

Another good example of how a bullshit deployment can turn on a dime. Good work strike bros. And awesome work by all the maintainers getting it done under very hairy circumstances.

That’s actually a pretty interesting discussion point. Does it have to be manned for a kill to count? Does it have to be maneuvering? I wonder what the F-14 community would say shooting down Soviet missiles going after the carriers? Or German pilots shooting down non-maneuvering bombers in WW2? What about a gun kill vice missile kill? And if you get 5 BVR kills with active missiles really make you more talented of a fighter pilot than some guy that got 1 with a 9P? 

If it doesn’t have an active capacity to kill you, it doesn’t count. That is not at all to take away from the solid work done yesterday.

So shooting down hordes of IL-76 = No kills? 

I agree with brabus...two Mig killer friends (one with 2), I think, would also agree.  But I'll confirm manana.
