Iranian Chill Thread

[Shawnee]

I am not surprised by the power of drones in Libya.
We have seen small Yemeni drones win against several Patriots in Yemen. We have seen Abqaiq.

I thought Abqaiq was a cruise missile as they showed parts in the desert

Cruise missiles were used, however, the largest chunk of the damage was due to suicide UAVs:

Stupid pagan gets arrested for being a stupid pagan.

I've checked it out even further. This schizo is literally asking for it, he knows what he's doing. He believes his dad (who was a counter-narcotics officer) was set up by the Iranian government for whatever inane reason. He's also a racist who claims he's proud of being 'persian', not Iranian as he should. More so he openly violates his countries blasphemy laws by condemning the religion of tens of millions of Iranians.

He also claims he's not westernised and loves his country even though everything he says shows the exact opposite.

I can't believe people like to push that Iran is some great violator of free speech when guys like this can get away with violating big no-no laws for years. He's not really a 'parkour athlete' but simply setting himself up to be the next Neda or that yeezy-wearing b*tch who took off her hijab a couple years back.

He's Christian

Lol

At least be against all Abrahamic religions then, be a Zoroastrian. Instead he's a Christian which is closely related to Islam. Fukin monkey!!

ACCORDING TO https://www.lostarmour.info/libya/

15 Turkish drones have been destroyed in Libya
8 UAE/LNA Pantsirs have been destroyed in Libya
(NOTE: This website only lists incidents where there is verifiable picture / video evidence)

However looking at the claims from both sides, the real numbers could potentially be much higher. There is a such a thing as "the fog of war" and therefore in some instances there is no picture/video evidence available.

For example, in some cases collecting the remnants, taking a picture could be too far risky. What if the drone falls into or near enemy territory ? In some cases, if there is a direct hit, there might not be enough remains left to be able to identify the weapon.

So realistically...

20 or more Turkish drones COULD have been destroyed
& 15 Pantsirs COULD have been destroyed (As Turkish sources claim)

In any case, looking at the results, if you look at the big picture, the Pantsir is not USELESS by any means.

First of all the versions being used in Libya are export versions. The LNA operators are not "well trained" by any means. Regardless the Pantsir has been able to shoot down 15+ Turkish drones worth $5 million a piece.

Keep in mind The Pantsir is a short-medium range air defense system which is meant to be used in tandem with other systems in a network.

So ideally you have the Pantsir, the TOR, MANPAD operators, BUK, S-300/S-400, ground radar stations, AWACS, satellites, fighter jets, interceptors. etc

So basically the Pantsir is like a piece of a puzzle. When you put everything together, with well trained operators, it can be extremely effective in its role, but by itself it can only do so much...

If you watch all the videos, some of them do not prove that a pantsir was hit.
I do not deny the possibility though.

واضحا برخوردی نیس ولی هدف چیه
Looks like:
1. A warning message (more likely) or
2. Initial steps for escalation to real ones.

Some analysis on the value of trade with Venezuela:

Petroleum refineries produce about 20 gallons of motor gasoline from one 42 gallon barrel of crude oil.

OPEC basket oil price per barrel : $28
Average Gasoline price per barrel: $80

If Iran sends five petroleum supertankers per month to Venezuela from its refineries, a significant amount of the sanction damage will be resolved.

طبق حساب من البته بر اساس اطلاعات محدودم ارزش این صادرات از کل صادرات ماهانه نفت خام به چین بالاتره​

Eid Mubarak to all of you here. I pray for happiness and wellbeing for all of you and your families.

If Iran sends five petroleum ships per month to Venezuela

But this is apparently what the US's red line might be- the frequent or monthly deliveries like this...we will see.

Correct but the deterrence is still there. They are exporting a lot more through straight of Hormuz that can act as check-balance or etc elsewhere.

If they use our waterway, we should use theirs: Red Sea, Suez, Gibraltar, Pacific Ocean

 

[sha ah]

It seems as if the US is letting this delivery go through without interfering but if Iran starts sending constant shipments, they might very well intervene.

Realistically Venezuela is looking to re-start its own oil refining industry and once they do they won't really require a constant influx of crude from a fellow producer.

In other news, a fuel tanker in Venezuela was set on fire a few hours ago. The US backed infiltrators / saboteurs are the biggest hypocrites. On one hand they complain about a lack of oil, on the other hand they purposely try their best to sabotage the system.

I find it frustrating at 7 seconds in the video, when a Venezuelan man says "This is the richest country in the world and we should not be like this because there is wealth, there is oil, there is everything"

There are also people like this in Iraq, who are protesting, whining about not receiving handouts while living in a "rich" country. In Iran you have the same situation, people who have been forced to stay home because of the Corona Virus complain about not receiving handouts from the government. This while the price of oil has crashed, the country is under sanctions and has been hit by the Corona Virus. Realistically Iran tried to get a loan from the IMF but again the US prevented it. It's almost as if people like this are living in the past. Yes Iran was a rich country when the price of oil was $100+ per barrel but not with the current situation.

The funniest thing in the video is Brian Hook saying "This would be an example of the Iranian regime, taking the wealth of the Iranian people wasting it on Venezuela" I wonder how he can even keep a straight face will uttering this rubbish. Venezuela has PAID Iran in GOLD for the shipment. Seriously ? LOL

We are working on Venezuelan infrastructure for gasoline. It will take a while until they become self sufficient and there is risk of sabotage in their refineries.

We need to keep sending them gasoline. The risk is higher if we send monthly deliveries but it is our right to sell our gasoline and we can retaliate for any intervention and take their tankers in exchange. Retaliation is the key.

If there is any intervention on our tankers anytime, it means that Al-Assad attack has not been deterrent enough and further escalation is necessary.

If waters are not safe for Iran, it will not be safe for them.
