Early last Saturday local time in the Levant, Zionist forces launched what was supposed to be a massive attack on Iranian military targets via Iraqi airspace, which indicates assistance by the Outlaw US Empire, but was aborted before Zionist jest reached Iranian airspace.
Regarding "imagery from inside the Zionist War Room showed very glum facial features on Netanyahu and Gallant’s faces as well as others as opposed to what ought to have been ecstatic faces with broadly beaming grins. (The images I refer to are out there, but I can’t seem to find them despite have seen them.)"...
Just before coming here to read Karl at his best again, Zionist Israel has once again stated their intention of bombing Iran again, using Hezbollah's attack on Netanyahu's abode as the excuse. You just can't make up this shit any longer, the rabid dog needs to be put down and I don't say that easily for I was born and raised Jewish.
The Chabad/Kahanist sect leading Israel to destruction are no different than the Neocon/Neoshitlib/Evangelicals doing the same to amerika, it's become a perfect storm of insanity, may peace and the ROW prevail over this darkness
Their goal, after all, is to create a situation where the US will join in. Will keep trying unfortunately. They are indeed looking for some version of 'end times'
Zionist Israel could not keep the genocide going without 100% backing and direct involvement of their allies USUK. End times appears to be what they want alright, how
Don't be surprised if the Zionists go full retard. There is no low to which they will not stoop. They are becoming desperate, I think, and cornered animals will do wild, improbable things.
Agreed their brutal Messianic Nationalism sensing defeat will turn like a mad dog and attack the weaker victim. Israel’s curators US/UK imbued with “moments of madness “ by defeat in Ukraine will oblige wildly strategising the need to sever the umbilical that connects Iran to its cousins in the Levant and reactive the insurgences in Syria to attack Russia.
Yes, Andrei Martyanov discussed some time ago that "stealth" doesn't work as advertised; the Serbians shot down an F117, so there was that as an early indicator of their ineffectiveness.
Today Andrei discussed the Government Accounting Office report "Tactical Aircraft: Operation and Maintenance Spending Varies by System, and Availability Generally Does Not Meet Service Goals" (https://www.gao.gov/assets/gao-25-107870.pdf):
from page 11, ".The F-35s’ poor mission capable rates were due partly to challenges with depot and organizational maintenance. We also reported that, by design, DOD relies heavily on its contractor to lead and manage F-35 sustainment."
Watched his video too. GOA reports are one of the sources the Heritage Foundation uses for its annual assessment of the US Military. It's a problem across all services, not just Air Force. IMO, the top two militaries are Russia and China with the USA and Iran tied for fourth, and all Iran lacks is a Russian-quality air force. Imagine Iranian pilots in Su-57s.
The pathetic military aggression by the entity otherwise known as the "child-killing Zionist regime" is well-explained via this "abort, abort! These people can shoot back." narrative. The rabid dog called Israel is not used to engaging peer-or-better adversaries. They prefer bombing unarmed women and children and are very good at killing soft targets, blowing up schools, hospitals, etc. Problem is that the showdown only been postponed. Thus Iran, if they are wise, will now engage in a program to tip its plentiful ballistic missiles with nuclear warheads, such that the ONE things "Israel" has going for it can be neutralized. As long as an ethno-religious, supremacist scourge like Zionism/Israel is around there will be more needless suffering by humans that just want to live in peace. Both, Israel and its outlaw sponsor the US need to go the way of the Dodo bird before this can happen.
Listening to Jacques Baud earlier on DialogueWorks where he commented on the Zionists' "tactical, operational and strategic failure" in this latest attempted attack on the Islamic Republic of Iran. Then I tuned to Alistair Crooke with The Judge and the whole 'air defence' and no-longer-Stealth F35 issues became clearer. Then I popped in here and the shock-an-awed-glum picture of Gallant finding out that his superior air force was forced to rapidly abort its mission and that he had failed, again - is worth a thousand words.
Geopolitically, a win for 'friendly' Russian Federation.
Crooke's analysis before the attack was exactly the same as mine. His analysis on Judge Nap is the only one I can find anywhere that is not Israeli propaganda that claims: 1) all of Iran's AD is destroyed, and 2) all of Iran's missile production plants are destroyed, and 3) Iran's nuclear program has been set back due to the attacks on Parchin (which in reality is not a nuclear facility at all, but a military one.) The Israeli propaganda is off the charts.
I could only find one article today that discussed the missiles that were probably used by Israel - mainly the ROCKS and Sparrow class that others have mentioned.
Someone at MoA had a list of the Israeli weapons systems used, but the clown didn't provide a link, so that's useless. I'm interested in whether any drones were actually used and whether there is any evidence that Israel's subs were used, as I thought might happen.
I at first thought there was something wrong with the Israeli attack to be this lame, but Crooke's analysis indicates that a serious attack was intended, but was simply abandoned after the first wave failed and the F-35s were "painted" by Iranian AD.
It will be interesting how Iran responds next; whether it will be hard or measured. If I were Iran, I'd do hard because it's now clear that Israel can not seriously attack them, having failed twice now. However, Iran might be concerned about the possibility of Jericho missiles - which I also expected to be used, but weren't - or the use of submarine Popeye-equivalent cruise missile which have a 20KT nuclear warhead.
In any event, none of this is going to stop either the Israelis or the US neocons from prosecuting the war. As I mentioned to commentator Ismaele below on his Substack, despite Israel economic and military problems, the crazies fully expect the US to enter the war, kill all Israel's enemies in one fell swoop, then Israel can kill the Palestinians and Lebanese, seize the gas fields off Gaza and Lebanon, become a tourist attraction again, and receive trade benefits from things like the Ben-Gurion Canal and such projects.
None of which will happen, of course, but the point I stress is that the Israelis and the neocons believe it will and won't stop until it is clear it won't happen.
Crooke mentioned quadrocopters used possibly by MEK, but wasn't certain. Yes, Zionist propaganda is crazy-zany, but it appears that the insiders know better. As for Iran's response, IMO it can be both limited and hard by hitting the ports and disabling them thus driving the knife deeper into the Zionist's dying economy. With all Zionist weapons reliant on GPS, there's a very good chance many missiles will wander. I replied to Loam about the nuke attack issue. And again, even if Iran gets damaged, the Zionists still must defeat Hezbollah and Hamas, and perhaps many more.
At this juncture, I'm actually quite surprised that the Zionist Entity *didn't* go ahead with the original plans to ensure as many F-35s as possible were shot down, providing a "pretext" for a full-scale war with Iran that by definition and necessity would involve the US participating openly. In fact if all of this is true, it is one of a few bits of information that leads me to believe perhaps Uncle Scam is in fact calling the shots for military strikes both in Gaza and Lebanon, but also potentially against Iran. While having multiple shoot downs might have actually played into the psychopath Netanyahu's hands, it would have been extremely embarrassing for the Americans to see their pride and joy (unless you count the F-22) being shot down willy nilly in the Middle East.
Thank you karlof. In addition to gymnasts might also consider the report from Declassified UK that exposes the hacking of the illegal occupiers military: https://youtu.be/mrTAa9HkAxc
This brief report also reveals the intense collaboration in the Palestinian genocide between the Israel regime and the UK.
That's a stretch, I think. It took a bloody nose, wiped away the snot and declared 'victory'. And since Tel Aviv leads America by the nose this isn't over by a long shot.
IMO, we're in a geopolitical fight for all the marbles. US hubris and exceptionalism, tied at the hip with Zionist supremacism, is one hell of a volatile mix, and all facing off against the rest of humanity. And since it's for all the marbles, and neither Israel nor the US give a flying F about humanity, I think we have yet to see the worst.
I think you’re correct; however, it’s the US that holds the cards and treachery is writ on the current hand - Israel is going to be incinerated in a Zoroastrian fireball...
F-35 has been flying close to Russian AD in Syria for so long the ELINT can see it by tuning the emissions. Probably visible on several radar sets. A long range IR will see the jet fuel guzzler at long range.
The other fault of F-35 it experiences a critical mission system failure every couple of operating hours…. If the random failure is important to the mission the F-35 goes home dropping ordnance on sand.
F-35 has not passed operational test. It might have weaknesses beyond not be able to fly enough mission before breaking down.
{F-35 has not passed operational test. It might have weaknesses beyond not be able to fly enough mission before breaking down.}
This reminded me of the Gulf Stream G500 and G600 (roughly 50 million dollars) that can't land in winds more than 15 knots because of some computer glitch in the software which causes the aircraft to nosedive. These planes are owned by the rich and famous who've basically been told by Gulfstream, to drop dead.
It clear that the Israeli attack on Iran was a gargantuan nothing-burger, to use an American expression, but I caution against the interpretation that the F-35 isn't stealthy. Most likely it is, to some degree. However without being in the respective war rooms of the opposing sides, it's difficult to state with certainty why the Israeli attack seemed to fail. For sure the Iranians have very good radar, and I hope that they can see F-35's with ease. It would be a perfect asymmetric rebuttal to the most expensive weapons program the world has ever seen. But this was just one attack and others, if they come, may have different effectiveness
Ed made an excellent observation: F-35s have flown around Syria and Lebanon often enough for Russia to get an excellent idea of how to track it. Same with Iran. An excellent secret now revealed. One of those technological leaps the Empire's behind in.
Stealth doesn’t mean you can’t see it. It just means it’s really hard to see. Any ordinary radar can’t see it at all, so for the vast majority of countries, it is a stealth plane.
However if you study it long enough and work really hard, with a lot of brains and tech you can make a radar that can see you it, and apparently that is exactly what Russia and Iran have done.
It’s basically an arms race or a tech race at this point.
Very interesting article! Thank you very much.

I have one, with link to the source, in this article (lead image): https://geopolitiq.substack.com/p/israel-humiliated-as-iran-foils-israeli

Israel like the U.S. is moving beyond its strategic depth.
Iran goes slow bc Israel A bombs, and long war hurts US.
Like Ukraine, no need to rush, when time is not on enemy side.

depraved is that? Rhetorical
Wonderful to hear, I so want this hell on earth that Israel has created throughout the Middle East to end.

"Uranian airspace"
Freudian slip :P?
Thanks! I missed that during my proofread but it's now corrected.

Worth noting that, US was helping to supply tankers, and probably combat air patrol protecting the tankers too

the baby is locked in
will it be a still birth or an abortion?
The es between B-2 and F-35 when b-2 failed they stopped it.
F-35 they say “you have not proved it failed” bc we cannot keep it flying enough to get enough data.
