But we were told they no longer had any air defenses!

I would say the same.
At one point your enemy starts to think is it true or lie.

Is that the air defense system that was completely destroyed, obliterated, or decimated?

I think the Americans just got lazy. Iran doesn’t have any new tech.

They shot down one fighter that’s mostly 50 years old tech.
They’ve hit 10,000 targets with 1 actual shootdown. Tne F35 flew home.

They’ve had Verbas on order for a while now, slated to be delivered next year. Might have been rushed, given the circumstances.

Can’t be. I was told their air defense was obliterated and they only had rocks and slings left.

Infrared and thermal imaging. Relatively low tech, mobile and not dependent on connected networks.
Doesn’t matter the level of radar or signal stealth, jets can’t hide their heat.

Iran also said they dropped Israeli fighter jets. Iran is full of shit

I love how currently you can’t trust either side on the actual state of Iran’s armed forces

Calling bs tbh. They obviously just got lucky. But that being said, the US hubris will cost them lives if they try anything stupid like a ground invasion.

Since it is probably from the russians and the orange pedophile is deep in the ass of Putin I laugh about the irony behind that.
The truth is simply that you have a traitor in the white house and he is not only cost you yanks a lot of money no he also will cost you a lot of lives.
great work to all the dipshits who voted for him.

As in, our hased after the old one was recently destroyed?

Made in China ?

so now China and Russia get to test their equipment against US military

This is very unlikely. If you have a new system, the incentive is to mask that capability as long as possible to score more hits, not broadcast that capability so your enemy can change tactics.
Additionally, big missiles make big booms. When big missiles hit planes, planes don’t usually go very far. All evidence is suggesting these planes were hit and then limped quite a ways before the pilots bailed, indicating whatever hit them was on the smaller side. That’s consistent with an IR MANPAD, which can pop up anywhere.

from what i heard and it would make the most sense it was a MANPADS which isn’t new and is impossible for us to destroy if they have them distributed all over the place as its simply a portable rocket launcher carried by a soldier and they use infrared not radar to track their target so pilots get little warning if they never see it fired at them.

Going with „sure thing, buddy“ as far as new tech.
No idea what downed the F-15 yesterday, but I’m assuming it’s something they’ve shot hundreds of at aircraft over the past few weeks and last years 12 day war. And they finally got one with it.
I’d also assume as the war progresses and they (US/Israel) have gotten lucky so far, they got looser and looser with risk taking. And just figured out that even low probability doesn’t mean zero.

Trump really thought he could bully Iran into getting whatever he wanted. Now it’s backfiring badly and it’s embarrassing for our country

Imagine a scenario where these systems came from Russia and US intelligence were aware they were being delivered but couldn’t attack them in transit because that would’ve been a direct attack on Russian equipment. Now imagine the US allowed fighter jets to hold the air space knowing this equipment was being installed.

This is one of the air defense systems we were all told were completely obliterated, correct?
CBT7commander on
It’s complete BS.
You don’t need new and advanced systems to shoot down an f15e. Even if it wasn’t simply shot at with a manpad, any AA system can shoot down an f15e. It has a massive radar signature and doesn’t have the advanced EW of the f15EX.
Any of the systems previously operated by Iran could have done it, and it makes more sense for one to have survived the SEAD campaign than for a new system to have been implemented

Wait, I was told we completely obliterated Iran, did I miss something?
