Hopefully its just saber rattling and drones will turn around

[fishnguy]

Probably just the beginning of a larger strike. They sent drones, most of which will probably be shot down by the Americans and others over Iraq and others’ airspace. The Iran will later sent some missiles of various speed, including ballistic, to coincide with the timing of the simultaneous hit on Israel. It may possibly involve a fair attack from the Lebanon (perhaps for distraction of the Israeli air defences). Houthis might be involved as well.

Not that it wasn’t expected.

Apparently drones don’t really worry Israel. Israel turned off the GPS all over the country and there were reports that drones use the gps to aim itself. Without gps they just fall out of the skies. In any case, they will be shot down by the air defence system and don’t represent much danger. The Iron Dome system is ready for the missiles. So hopefully Israel is fully prepared….
Russia has not come out with any statement. Same as China. So hopefully these two will sit quiet and don’t get involved.

Israel isn't going to take this lying down, I think we're in for a full scale war.

Not sure. Also Israel was the one that took to the next level here.

[fishnguy]

To KGB: Unless they are set up for GPS, GLONAS, and what the Chinese’ve got. Which would make the most sense. “Turning off” the GPS is not going to work in that case, which is most likely. Some major jamming will have to be involved as well.

Some of these religious feuds have gone on for thousands of years and until they wipe each other out will continue. This is a zero sum game and mutually assured destruction.

According to Al Jazeera, these drones carry a 20 kg. warhead, relatively small in the grand scheme of things.

Hopefully at some point their beliefs will start to fade with newer generations. Like the rest of the modern world.

Quite possible, I was listening to one reporter who was saying turning off but yeah I think more like jamming the gps.

I’m supposed to be heading to Dubai on Monday. Hoping it doesn’t escalate beyond this.

I wonder if it’s just going to be a tit for tat. I don’t think Iran wants the U.S. to get involved. Otherwise, it gonna git ugly.

Correct. Probably don't hurt their feelings if they help out though.

Fox saying Iran has telegraphed this is a 'one & done' as long as Israel plays nice. Israel has to deal with a nuclear Iran.......

Are you saying Iran has nuclear weapons capability or did you mean to say "Iran has to deal with a nuclear Israel"?

I was under the impression Iran did not have nuclear weapons, yet anyway.

Does Iran even have a Nuclear capability ? Every time they get close, the reactor blows up or the scientists mysteriously die. That would be the height of stupidity.

Very doubtful in the foreseeable future, Islam on the whole has been going backwards, being progressive will get you killed.

Um, ... Iran has to deal with a Nuclear Israel.

Iran saying this is a one and done really is a ploy to get Western Powers to put a leash on Israel while Iran racks up the next round of missiles and drones and applies what it learned on the first sacrificial wave of missiles.

Lets face it, if Iran thought that this first 300 missiles and drones was going to succeed, they would NOT have announced a retaliatory strike.

That's like saying to the other fighter don't swing with your left fist as I am blind in my right eye.

This was purely a learning exercise for Iran, likely to get location of radar sets, satellites relays used, and communication frequencies used by the Israelis and Western Allies to coordinate the defence.

The flip side is the economic punishment. These interceptor rockets cost about $1 Million a piece. If 150 were used, Israel will now have to replace them. If the Iranian missiles carried a radioactive payload that dispersed on intercept over the targets, the Iranians have now succeeded with the unknowing help of Israel.

Our Pm will share his wisdom and get every one to play nice in the sand box. Like he has done here in Canada.
