Three, wtf?

Glad all 6 are safe but what the hell happened here? Did a Kuwaiti patriot crew or something get trigger happy?


Kuwaitis have fessed up…one of their patriot batteries was trigger happy.

Now send a bill for the three F15E's to the Kuwaiti government. This is BS

Not trying to soften the incident but friendly fire happens in every major conflict. It is unfortunate but glad our pilots were unharmed.

Kuwait has shot down more US aircraft than Iran.

Hard to believe we sell those Idiots weapons which can take down our planes. And then teach them to use those weapons…

Do we use IFF transponders and share that frequency with allies like Kuwait?

I'd bet the punishment in Kuwait for that type of screw up isn't fun.

I will say this…..at moments like this two things can happen. One….. it strengthens the future partnerships of friendly nations between the ranks of young military officers which is valuable for future conflicts….2.) you lose out to the benefit to option #1. Yes it sucks…..but learn from it now so it doesn't occur in the future.

First report I have read of B-1B's being employed in this conflict. I've also yet to read any speculation/claim B-52's out of Diego Garcia have been used (for stand off launches), which is surprising.

Compare these strikes with what used to be done to hit the desired targets. Area bombing would be disastrous for everyone. So glad we have the capability to be as precise as we can now.

UK PM Starmer denied/delayed use of Diego Garcia for launching attacks against Iran.

I've seen very little video of protests or internal stuff in Iran other than videos of the bombings. Are they blacked out? Just hunkered down? Am I on the wrong thread?

The Goat Express is a bit behind in delivering the VHS tapes to the Kurds to smuggle out.

But seriously, most comms are down and though there is some Starlink it's difficult. I expect that after the initial waves you will begin to see lots lots more.

I am assuming this means once we ensure complete command and control of the airspace and Iranian air defense is not a threat then the A-10s and close support aircraft are sent in to loiter and kill anything that moves in support of the IRGC. We have been hitting hard targets for days now it's time for the soft targets.

I believe someone (maybe Trump himself) said a stated goal is to completely destroy their military - every last piece of it. So, they still have some stuff to blow up.

If Israel and the US don't know who's nominally running the place, no one likely is.
Quote:
On Iran's leadership, Trump said, "We don't know who the leadership is. We don't know who they'll pick." He added that Iran lost "a lot in terms of leadership" in the initial strikes.

"Forty-nine people," Trump said. "It was an amazing strike." He claimed they "got a little bit arrogant" by meeting together, adding, "They thought they were undetectable. They weren't."

"They don't even know who's leading them now," Trump said. "We went down 49." With so many killed, he added, "We don't know who's leading the country now… It's a little like the unemployment line."

Pete H says war will not be endless.

His briefing this morning at 7 was good to see. No apologies and kick butt mentality. No giving g the media anything about where and when we will hit.

They'll come in and fly around a little after we do all the hard work, then say see, we helped, and we want a share of all the free oil and stuff.

Pretty surprising these managed to take off and make it far enough to be shot down.
