Großbrand, nachdem eine iranische Rakete den US-Luftwaffenstützpunkt Ali al Salem in Kuwait getroffen hat

how is it even possible that us bases gets hit? doesnt military bases have hundreds of defend systems? I thought bases was impossible to penetrate but i dont know anything about those things

Well, well, well.

I’m kind of tired of all this winning.

Nice. Give me some more good news before I sleep.

When attacking someone with missiles, you don’t need a 100% hit rate, or even a 50% hit rate, when it comes to penetrating enemy defenses. You simply need enough to hit, and that may even only be one to hit.

On the other hand, when it comes to area or point defense against a threat such as ballistic missiles, anything less than a 100% intercept rate is potentially catastrophic.

Bottom line, missile defense is hard, and borderline impossible, if the enemy is able to chuck enough, good enough spears at you. Eventually, one or more will always get through.

It’s simple guys, interceptors are finite and stocks are running low in the Arab countries. If this continues into next week the Arab countries will be demanding an end to this war.

Also it seems the Iranians haven’t used their more sophisticated missiles. They supposedly have hypersonic missiles. If they do they are holding them back.

Also getting the kurds to invade. This is desperation. They will get slaughtered.

And as for boots on the ground. It’s inevitable now.

This is one of the worst strategic mistakes the US has made.

Man, this is surreal as hell. I was deployed here 2011-2012.
