Yeah mate they will fight under the rubble.
That's why Azov is killing civilians who try to flee (there are videos I will not post as it may be against the rules) and the government is calling for foreign volunteers to help them fight. Those are the actions of a well motivated population...
They didn't underestimate them, they are trying to minimize harm to civilians. In Kiev the people still have power, telephone, etc. because Russia is targeting only military targets instead of infrastructure. If they wanted to minimize their own casualties they could simply fight US style and...
While I agree that attacks on minorities will increase even further as the furthest right-wing groups becomes more openly fascist, "decades long civil war" is overselling it. There is no left in the US for them to fight anyways. Both parties are right wing, it would be international...
Seems like the Israeli state is following the US and condemning Russia openly rather than stay neutral like India did. If this war manages to create a rift between the Israeli state and Russia, it would be even more beneficial for Iran. We recently saw Russia openly reaffirm it's view that Golan...
1) 100% agree on the first part but disagree with the second part. The Chinese development model is mutually beneficial and non-interventionist. And Japan and ROK just follow the US's dictates. None of these countries are concerned with someone taking their spot
3) India's problem is that Modi...
With respect i seriously doubt that. If you have links to share i will look but the adoption/foster system in the US is filled with abuse anyways. I doubt kids were being abused because they were Russian.
Pakistan will almost certainly get J-35 so they wouldn't be getting something more advanced.
Also conflict between Iran and Pakistan is very unlikely despite some attitudes on this forum.
Russians are being treated "better" because they are Europeans at the end of the day. Countries like Iran and even China will never be viewed as equals to western powers, not in the past, not now, and not in the future. A portion of the American right wing even advocates for an alliance with...
If Kowsar really is using a radar in a similar class to Grifo E it could become an ok stop-gap plane until IRIAF can acquire 5th gen fighters, especially if Iran can acquire license production of the SD-10 or a similar missile to use alongside domestic AIM-9 derivatives. They have already shown...
They already cancelled their Su-35 order due to US pressure. They may be interested but US will never allow them to buy top of the line Chinese fighters.
Isn't J-35 carrier based version of J-31?
As far as I know they have not approached China for any aircraft, rather as you said they keep going to Russia fruitlessly.
Disagree, they did not even come close to conflict. All Russia did was deliver S-300 to Syria which it doesn't even allow to be used against Israeli aircraft. Since then the heads of the Israeli state have repeatedly visited Russia to cooperate on "regional issues."...
Ironically, you have internalized western propaganda. You state that there is "widespread consensus" that the J-10 is worse, but by who? Western "analysts" to whom everything Chinese is a copy of something? To whom everything Chinese is a stolen design it because it looks vaguely similar to this...
For a couple of reasons, Russia and the Israeli state have close relations. For example, Russia allows IAF to bomb unopposed in Syria as long as they do not harm Russians. This is why, despite having modern SAMs, the Syrian Air Defense is using decades old SA-5s against the attacks.
And while...
Yes, the J-31 is the only real option for IRIAF. There is no point in buying a 4th gen fighter at this point and Russia will never sell any non-obsolete fighters to Iran.
