Iran has nukes (I doubt the earfquake was non nuclear)
Iran has had enough materials and a large tunnel formation and Russian and Chinese information and Scientists with a vested interest in the region
If so, why the sudden test?
Rushed?
Most nuclear tests in history were rushed and if this happened then I highly doubt it is non functional in any capacity
Smart decision
Exactly what I thought
what is the internet like in iran?
i don't mean the speed or quality of the service
You mean accessibility
yeah, to the greater WWW
"Not amazing" would be my guess. Islamic countries always use heavy filtering
when you ban half the stuff on the net you have to already have a system in place to pick and choose what you limit.
right
Iran has bans on some website but YT is accessible
RIP Ukrainians
Would be very interested to know who was on that
and why they were flying during missile launches and possible retaliation strikes
Idk
Rip Iran
Why did they go over Iran in the first place?
They were taking off from Terhan
so flight originated there.
crashed shortly after take-off
LOL
Rip so I bet Ukrainians weren't on board just Iranian refugees or American counterintel trying to escape
Who know. It was Ukraine flight though. Some 4chan reports were saying 10 americans on board, but that seems very sus
But thats just funny in a sick way
It shows these airline tracking sites are complete bullshit
Still shows it in the air and about to land in 20 mins
oof
This list gets updated tomorrow I hope....
wdym?
since more people will have already cemented their war/anti-war positions
since that list was made yesterday
oh i see
is 66% hit rate good?
Yes
Well, depends on where they launched them from
I need a map
what is the meaning of "failed" though? Did not hit target or did not explode?
had chuck norris been there he'd punched them rockets away
No way they could identify the kill count
Ackshually
Calling all kinds of BS
drones can read the heat
so
there are all sorts
The US isn't going to hide 80 deaths very easily
Tbh
true
I do love that tally on 4chan of the deaths
@DarthSammich Send link
Not accurate but funny
4chan deaths link
US Deaths 0
Iran Deaths 50 from funeral stampede
Ukraine Deaths 176
>who was on the plane?
Iranians - 71
Canadians -73
Germans - 4
Brits - 3
Swedes - 8
Afghanis - 6
+ 13 Ukranian crew
Trump drones Suleimani.
Iran then has to retaliate. If they don't, they look weak and Iranian Revolution II: Electric Boogaloo kicks off.
Iran also knows that if they kill any American soldiers, America will bomb the shit out of them.
So they have to retaliate in a manner substantial enough to save face, but somehow without killing any Americans.
What could possibly be a better way of doing so than launching over a dozen ballistic missiles at an American base, but either intentionally missing by a large enough margin to ensure that no one is hurt or making your preparations so blatantly obvious that American forces are alerted with more than enough spare time to take cover?
Apparently the soldiers at al Asad received a warning of the attack well before it occurred, which makes this idea seem even more plausible.
Also, look at Trump and Iran's rhetoric. Trump stresses that he's not interested in a regime change operation, tacitly letting the Iranians know they don't actually need to start a war for their survival. Iran goes on at length about how their actions are "in self-defense" and that "their assault has concluded" after the attack to let America know there's no need for further action.
Both sides can claim victory, Iran by claiming that they hit America back and threatened to attack further, and Trump by waving away the attack as a colossal failure not even deserving a response. And so, both sides step back from the ledge without looking weak.
It just all seems like too much of a coincidence. The only other alternative is that Iran is so phenomenally incompetent that they can launch over a dozen ballistic missiles at a major American military base and cause precisely zero casualties.
for some reason, i imagined a bunch of canadians on that flight
Canadians or Iranian-canadians?
idk
either
Also, odd that it was headed to Ukraine but had no Ukrainians
aside from the staff
I wonder what Trudeau has to say
If you fly, gravity wins.
I was like you guys once, really concerned about what Trudeau would say
"if you bomb your enemies, they win" -trudeau probably
if you lose ww3, (((they))) win
lol
yes an hour before the attack there was a shelter in place alarm at a few american bases
they said it was an exercise , but clearly wasnt
they probably made some deal for a symbolic strike
to keep the respective npcs at home happy
there was a rumor before that trump had offered symbolic retalliation to them
through the swiss embassy in iran
Seems weird to me that they don't know what caused a plane to crash
it was on fire lol
so
i think i have a smol suspicion
(always a good forum for civil aviation crashes or events)
