There is footage on social networks claiming that an Iranian drone struck a building in Dubai.

Earlier, the IRGC took responsibility for striking a site that housed American soldiers in Dubai. This footage may be related to the claim. pic.twitter.com/sQUhZu0Rbp

Doubtful. A tremendous amount of planning went into this operation. We didn't go into this without an idea of how many interceptors we would need to use. We knew it would be a lot. That was one of the factors in determining whether or not to launch the operation.

No clue on validity but I do not like the sound of this. Plus, why the hell do you even leak that?

South Korea-based systems may be moved amid prolonged U.S. military operation against Iran

Quote:

Experts believe that air defense assets of the U.S. Forces Korea (USFK), such as Patriot and THAAD, Terminal High Altitude Area Defense systems, as well as surveillance and reconnaissance assets like the MQ-9 'Reaper' unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) permanently stationed at Gunsan Air Base in South Korea last year, could be among the assets to be relocated. In June of last year, prior to the 'Midnight Hammer' operation to strike Iranian nuclear facilities, the U.S. cyclically deployed three out of eight USFK Patriot batteries to the Middle East to prepare for potential retaliatory attacks from Iran. The over 500 USFK personnel and Patriot batteries that were mobilized at the time returned to South Korea in October of last year.

Experts also believe that the THAAD battery in Seongju, North Gyeongsang Province, and its intercept missiles could be deployed to the Middle East. Just before the outbreak of the war, the British Financial Times, FT, citing a U.S. military official, reported that "up to 150 THAAD missiles were expended during last year's '12-day war,'" expressing concerns over potential missile shortages if the war prolongs. Shin Jong-woo, Secretary-General of the Korea Defense Research Forum, stated, "If the airstrikes prolong, the U.S. will likely utilize the combat power and assets of the USFK." Im Cheol-gyun, a senior research fellow at the Korea Research Institute for Strategy, remarked, "Since South Korea is also facing ballistic missile threats from North Korea, the deployment of USFK air defense assets to the Middle East could pose significant problems from our perspective."

How long would it take to redeploy? Epic Fury may be over before redeployment?
I have zero knowledge of such things.

Why is tracking of our military planes even allowed? Especially when they were preparing for all of this. Seems like we wouldn't want the enemy to know all of that information. I've always wondered since it became popular to do that on the internet.

Let’s hope this is true.

Let’s pray Iranians take up action and overthrow the oppressive regime.

Let’s pray for as minimal casualties as possible.

Let’s pray this ends as quickly as it can. https://t.co/qFUptg8fFs

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

This is the least shocking thing here.
