According to the WSJ, the Missiles that the Iron Dome, davids sling and other Air Defence systsms uses are in short suply, and the US does not have a sufficent backlog to give to Israel

They didn't have near enough AD for the Ukrainazis, Israel must have been stockpiling for a long time. Fortunately our Iranian comrades were even busier ๐Ÿš€ ๐Ÿš€ ๐Ÿš€

Woke up. Israel still exists ๐Ÿ˜ก

As posted somewhere in this thread, they ahve 10 to 12 days left at this rate, we just have to wait them out ... well Iron Dome assuming its not resuplied directly by the US

[-] [email protected] 3 points 5 hours ago

I'm just assuming the US will supply them. What are they going to do? Let them run out, basically giving way for Iran to destroy every single critical infrastructure?

Unless that's the plan so that they can step in and save the day.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 5 hours ago

I mean, they are like 2 million a missile. so I do not know how many the US has in reserve to be able to give them

Gotta love for profit war industry amirite

Manufacturing new munitions takes resources, a skilled workforce, sufficient production facilities, and most importantly time. They can't conjure weapons overnight out of thin air by simply throwing money at the problem no matter how many billions of dollars of profit stand to be made. For now they are reliant on whatever they still have in stockpile, which is probably not as much as you might assume, given the fact that the West's military industrial comple is deeply infected by the neoliberal disease and knowing neoliberalism's propensity for "just-in-time" supply chains.

Honestly I was thinking the other day, I do not think you can get a job more than 2 steps from the MiC in the US. I think the only industry we have still is the price gouging war profiteers

Real shit

Though expecting Turkey to side with anti-imperialism is highly naรฏve

[-] [email protected] 4 points 3 hours ago

Not expecting much from a NAFO country.

Good. Meta/Facebook is a DARPA project and an official DOD contractor. Whatsapp is 100% a honeypot.

โ€”โ—๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท/๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ Washington Post: 'Israel will only be able to maintain shooting down Iranian ballistic missiles for 10 or 12 more days, then they will need to start rationing munitions'

This could explain why Iran is opting to launch small but consecutive waves. Iran is likely using up some of their older / less sophisticated missiles to deplete Israeli defenses, to make way for the 'real' stuff later on. This is attritional warfare.

In most cases, a small wave of 3-5 Iranian ballistic missiles is enough to prompt the launch of about 10-15 Israeli interceptor missiles, with each one costing at least $12 million dollars (in the case of THAAD).

In contrast, even Iran's most modern missile, the Fattah-1, only costs about $200,000 to produce, according to the IRGC. If we assume 12 interceptors for one Fattah-1 missile (as seen in a video today), that means Israel is spending $144 million dollars to 'intercept' (not always successfully) a single Iranian hypersonic missile.

This is simply not sustainable. Within about two weeks, if Iran keeps up the current pace of fire, Israeli airspace will be at the mercy of Iran's far larger and more destructive solid fuel bsllistic missiles. Unless, of course, the U.S. intervenes directly.

The US has shown recently it cannot even really hold its own in wars of attrition, so I think even with US suport, short of a nuke Iran has the edge, my worry is if the US either uses a nuke or is some how able to blitz

[-] [email protected] 2 points 7 hours ago

That's my thoughts exactly.

LOL, why is Tucker Carlson doing a better job dunking on this ghoul than anyone else?

[-] [email protected] 8 points 9 hours ago

I love how they keep saying both the US is a part and the US is not a part.

And because Tucker has always been both a right wing ghoul but also a contrarian who likes to look like the smart guy in the room, every so often that becomes useful

[-] [email protected] 3 points 9 hours ago

Ah, contrarian makes sense
