Breaking: U.S. Expected to Strike Back for Iran’s Downing of Drone

[Hassan Al-Somal]

I stand corrected. The American officials are now claiming the 34km was the distance that the drone was away from the Iranian territory. So while it was flying in high altitude, the 34km mentioned in earlier reports was not referring to it.

Not sure how people missed it but the altitude here is very significant.

"At the time of the intercept, the RQ-4 was operating at high-altitude approximately 34 kilometers from the nearest point of land on the Iranian coast," he said.

That is an equivalence of 111548.556 feet altitude. If Iranian air defense systems, especially locally produced ones, can reach that high, then Iran has game-changing air defense systems in its disposal. This definitely makes any attacks on Iranian inland assets very difficult to achieve.

Isn't the maximum ceiling of 3rd Khordad system 27km? CENTCOM claimed the drone was in 34km altitude from land.



If they're using their brains and not their Israeli-centered, one-eyed, messianic beliefs, the US war hawks should worry of an adversary - in this case Iran - that can take down aircrafts at 60,000 feet or higher.

Did you except us to say our system real capabilities in public ?!

I was referring to the information that was publicly released.

They just gave false information or simply didn't tell whole truth ....

Uone of main advantage of domestic weapons system is that only we knew the full capabilities of these weapons

 

[ARMalik]

Will not happen.....

most effective way to do this though is to make Pakistan fight Iran for money.

Right ... you need to stop talking from your arse cause you are spilling shi.t everywhere. No country with with ounce of common sense would do this.

I said most effective way...not the most realistic one...

JEsus...you guys so uptight...

 

[Metanoia]

Trump backed down almost immediately after approving the strikes against Iran. Media sources are citing lack of support from some of the allies (I suspect the EU allies).

US looks extremely weak since they started ramping up pressure on Iran. Fact of the matter is, US has blinked countless times in their latest stand-off against Iran, thus making them look weak.

actually i was thinking about it too, according to different sources the RQ-4 was 90 km away from the 3rd khordad system and was flying in 34 km altitude. this is amazing.

America is the Roman Empire of todays today

good

Iran does not have the " navy" to counter US carrier groups in the strait.....but will use rockets to target them...

us does not and WILL not send in ground forces into Iran...

the geography suits iran and it would be a dumb idea to invade from the sea....

Iraq can be a good point of entry...since its more flat.

actually the only branch of our armed forces that is better than yours is our navy (IRGCN and IRIN)
good because certainly we will send our ground forces to your bases in region.
my friend there are almost 300 k pro Iran forces in Iraq also the Kurdistan between two country is on top of a mountain named zagros.

guys how we should response american aggression if it happens??
i say with fully offensive one, because if we play tit for tat we will lose, we should capture their bases with the leftover of their soldiers, and execute them if US provokes again.

your navy consists of fast moving small ships...and no.....it is not "better" than carrier battle groups....

What bases are you talking about?

I'm iraq? ....I don't think the host nations will stand by with flowers....they run on American aid money.....not Iranian

Besides your war chest will not sustain you more than a month.....

And not to mention....we will effectively use Pakistani air space and bases to good effect.....

 

[Mithridates]

that fast moving small boats have the same firepower as this:

compare to this:

so several hundreds of these will be quit deadly.
also our navy has almost 30 subs in region. and i don't even mention our frigates and missile boats.

What bases are you talking about?

I'm iraq? ....I don't think the host nations will stand by with flowers....they run on American aid money.....not Iranian

tell that to your worried politician and generals.

Besides your war chest will not sustain you more than a month.....

it will end in three days, by reducing US bases in region.

And not to mention....we will effectively use Pakistani air space and bases to good effect.....

so you are indian??

Us have not base in socotra island
And what is that base in Arabian sea?

 

[925boy]

Will not happen.....

You're correct....thats the GCC route..

 

[Mithridates]

i assume this map is a little old.
Diego Garcia, the unsinkable aircraft carrier.

 

[American Pakistani]

Lol, there are no international waters in in that area. the ships use territorial waters to pass through that location.

You are expecting too much from pu $$he grabber.

PMU will block invading troops, afterall, Iraq's water coastline is very small.. this is assuming Iran isnt controlling it already..it would be dumb to bet money Iran doesnt have eyes and ears all over southern Iraq.
