Let's not leave out the best part!

Yes, reports from NY Post, NDTV, WION & CENTCOM footage confirm HELIOS laser deployed on US Navy destroyer off Iran for Operation Epic Fury. Tested on 4 drones Feb 2026.

Not free to build (~$100M/unit per early Navy estimates; $150M contract for first two). But each shot costs basically electricity onlynear zero vs millions per missile.


Go push grok to link directly to the video (I did). Doesn't have it.

Why would they hit them??

It's probably going to interfere with one of the last air routes from Europe to China. I'll learn more tomorrow as I'm flying that route, right over Baku.

Israel says they are starting the next phase of the war and surprises are coming



I am putting in now that there will be either:

1) IDF soldiers popping up all over Iran
2) lots of guns being smuggled into Iran
3) entire city of Teheran has no electricity

I'm not a fan of arming the Kurds. We tried that in the 80s arming the Mujahideen.

Reports of an american plane down




Interesting. Centcom denies it. However, there are quite a few, more established outlets reporting this. Maybe it wasnt an American jet that went down

They're easier to kill if they decide to step out of line again. The Kurds are a great tool to avoid US troops on the ground.

You know what, its hard as hell to tell what's going on.

It does appear a jet was shot down or crashed. Who's it was or what it was is unclear

The CentCom X account edited their tweet so they may be arguing semantics here. We may have lost a fighter but they deny the manner it went down.

Maybe…but I think some of these OSINT accounts are a little too quick on the draw.

I know everyone loves to hate on MSM but in this scenario they are likely a better call.

There was definitely video posted to X of a pilot in a deployed chute going down in the desert but of course you have no idea when it was filmed or which desert.

If true and the pilot is in the hands of Iraqi security forces what would that mean for the pilot? Will they return him to us immediately unharmed?

That was 40 years ago, a different region, different peoples, and 6 administrations ago. I understand the concern, but the situations are not equivalent.

What do yall think is going on here? Air drop of arms for the Kurds?

What will the IRGC send to engage the Kurdish fighters? Will they send armor that we destroy quickly?

The problem with this tweet is that its too short to show a landing and aircraft is too far away to determine what they are doing other than flying low. We don't even know where this was filmed. Pure speculation to say those are SpecOps aircraft and if they did land, show that, ffs. I have no idea what is going on in that video - for all we know it is old footage. IF it is legit and IF those planes landed, my best guess is they are dropping supplies for insurgents.


Is it possible that these are the two Soviet era bombers that Qatar shot down this week? A report I watched said they were flying low to avoid radar. Just seems like a huge coincidence that there's two in the video.

No.

Su-24s and western cargo planes are very, very different.

I am pretty sure that guy has defected several times and died even more times than I can count.

Looks like now would be a good time for Iranian leadership to fake their own death if US / Isreal hasn't killed them yet.

That's quite the strategy - kill any survivors of American/Israeli strikes because they must be a Mossad agent if they weren't killed too!

Trump should demand the IRGC deliver all remaining living high ranking members of leadership back to Israel and the US!
