Trumps own guys were telling him before we attacked that low munitions could be a problem. This shouldnt be all that surprising if true.

---

Can you site or provide sources for this please?

Edit: I responded with wrong topic. I'll have to find this. It was in WSJ but this has been a pretty common concern for some time and reported multiple times in the past whenever there is talk of us getting involved somewhere.

There are a bazillion articles on preferred munitions stocks issues from think tanks in DC.

This is the least shocking thing here.

---

Yes. I was just posting this because some seem to be surprised by it when they shouldn't. Resources are not unlimited.

Is it time to stand up a p51 squadron or two to just hunt drones

There have been several videos of Iranians going after the Islamic Morality Police. A Guidance Patrol female stepped onto a bus full of Iranian baddies without their hijabs on and started to scold them and they went all Waffle House on her until she ran off the bus scared for her life. I also saw another where a Guidance Patrol male was mobbed on the street and took a pretty major ass whupping.

Link?

Saw them on X but didn't bookmark and so many posts are coming through I don't know how to find them again.

Assuming legit, bad ass letter.

Letter reportedly sent by Adm. Brad Cooper, the Commander of U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), to American servicemembers across the Middle East on February 28, 2026, prior to the start of strikes against Iran as part of Operation Epic Fury:

We really need to arrest/kill Abbas Aragchi

for too many decades we tolerate the propagandists of the evil regimes and treat them as- "well he is just a diplomat"

forgetting that we captured Joachim Von Ribbentrop and charged him at Nuremberg with crimes against humanity as the Foreign Minister of Nazi Germany

I cannot conceive of the resources Iran must have used to build so many missiles and drones. It really is staggering.

The drones are like $20K, really cheap. A PAC3 missile is in the millions

PT BARNUM!!!

We are making as many Tamir Interceptors both in Israel and in Arkansas as we can 24 hours a day now.

How did you get to "boots on the ground" based on what the Admiral wrote to his troops in the letter? There's no language anywhere in the letter that so much as hints at that.

---

Sorry, I had just woken up and had just watched news stories of parents crying as their mijos were being called up.
My mind must have blended the two.

Anyway, I'll take my original post down. Totally my bad.

that has been happening but not recently- in the previous few weeks

but I am sure both sides are getting ready. I only hope the USA is busy sending in truckloads of AK-47s to the different towns of Iran

Israel just completed another round of strikes.

these pilots over the Western Desert are having the best times of their lives right now. They dedicated their lives to this ONE MISSION and now get to blow @#$# up all over the place:

We just deployed a couple of squadrons of A10s to Israel. You know they are going launcher hunting.

Are the number of missile sirens going off in Israel continuing to decrease?

Yep bad math. very bad math. We need some new math- or to be more accurate bring back good math. Time to put American innovation to the test. Hunter killer drones, giant tracked multi barreled shot gunesk weapons for low flying drone swarms, Jammers, EMP, microwav emitters. Get creative America. Call the sci-fi writers and get ideas.

What a fun job that would be. The hard part would be getting the cheap components in mass we no longer build and putting together the fabrication we no longer have.

I read yesterday that they had decreased from every few minutes to every few hours. I don't know about any decreases since yesterday.

absolutely yes

there are more warnings in the past 24 hours for Hizbullah drones flying around the Galilee

than for missiles heading to Tel Aviv

now hours are going by between launches

Police said Iran shot cluster bombs in latest attack. Plus 2 Turkish CNN reporters who were filming the IDF headquarters were arrested.

Makes sense though. Ongoing action in a theater of war requires you to adapt and improve on the fly, constantly. Good thing here is that we can leapfrog the tech several generations at once.
