Ask any MOD from where I am, they'll confirm it.
Its interesting phenomenon - some people cant go beyond their nationalism, and yet I can bash EU and be from it, and can support countries under aggression and not be from them. I put humanity over my nationality.
You mean the statement like: Bulgaria: Turkey Concludes Syria Didn't Shoot Down Its Plane - Novinite.com - Sofia News Agency
After so much bickering and bashing of Syria, "officially" no shooting happened, so did Turkey apologized Syria for false accusations? :azn:
Personally I think it...
Weakest Iranian AA gun shot down one Turkey's Phantom and damaged another one few months ago. Weakest Iranian anti-ship missile almost destroyed the best and biggest Israel warship.
What actually powerful Iran's missiles are capable of we dont know, but in US place I wouldnt be downplaying them...
HARMs cant detect passive radars, nor turned off active ones - Iran has HUGE numbers of mobile dispersed radars, which would be frequently moved. Good luck with hunting them all down ;)
I still remember "whack a SCUD" (if you familiar with whack-a-mole expression) in Iraq - as hard as US air...
Iran will never attack first, but if NATO attacks Iran, then it would be expected to see NATO bases in the region going in flames :azn: If only 15 Talibaners destroyed a secure NATO base in Afghanistan, what do you think Iran could do in vastly greater numbers and equipment?
If Turkey allows...
There are only two options for Iran - surrender (what you are suggesting) or to defend their sovereignity (they had enough of US/UK ruling them for the most of the last 100 years).
I respect Iran for standing up for themselves, not many countries has such balls.
Russia wont protect Iran...
As long as US is a superpower and protects Israel from all repercussions (crimes against humanity, illegal nukes, etc), nothing will change.
What concerns media and their avoidance of this subject, its all about bias and agenda.
Yes.
It doesnt seem you are capable of intelligent discussion and prefer Ad hominem, without even knowing the subject we discuss.
Last chance for you before I ignore you - look up what US and alies wanted to do in UNSC - to pass a new round of sanctions which would prohibit any country from...
IAEA inspectors are often spying on behalf of CIA and Mossad, therefore its not surprising if they knew about bombing operation, and immediately after arrived to check what damage electricity cut-off caused to centrifuges.
I'm sure Iran is prepared for such events and have back-up solutions...
Several Chinese generals said they'll protect Iran even if it means WW3. I doubt they'll do that, but its in China's absolute interest that Iran remains a free country, therefore China will help Iran under the table with anything it needs - weapons, intelligence, money, food, etc.
Imagine if...
It seems you dont understand what Iran is saying. They claim if their oil exports are 100% blocked, then Iran blocks Strait. Or if war starts - the same effect. Iran wont block Strait while they can export to Asia just fine.
Of course, I'm simply stating facts.
International law is non-existent, and we are living by the jungle rules - strong is always right, and regardless what heinous crimes they commit - nobody can do anything about it.
US with alies are half-way through this plan, lets see if Syria falls, and next on the list - Iran.
They are behind their plans because US obviously didnt expected Afghanistan and Iraq to take this long, and even Libya with a tiny military could withstand almost a year. Proxy war against Syria...
Its literally impossible to achieve 50m CEP with 300km unguided rocket, obviously guidance kit was added.
Looked up into this - Iran used guidance kit strap-on since Zelzal-2 - and increased accuracy from ~800m to 100m:
In From the Cold: Strapping It On
Approx reference for 300km rockets...
I wouldnt take rabid zionist like Jeffrey Goldberg's word for it, he could be doing PR damage control :)
However, if its a set-up, its interesting turn - Israel have done so many red-flag operations, that its ironic when tables are turned.
