War in Iran : Trump's latest misadventure

Maybe, but Pakistani drones are not Shaheeds-equalent and far inferior.

No one should be arrogant and think it’s just drones, so no big deal. They are essentially slower cruise missiles and while air defence will shoot down most, some will always slip through unless your air defence is extremely well layered.

It depends on the number. Do not think that India could shoot down all with ease. Certainly not the volume a combatant like Russia can throw.

It’s no joke.

There’s a difference between what a superpower like Russia throws against Ukraine… and what someone like Pakistan throws against India. Russia can keep them going for years on end.

Lot of those drones shot down were turkish ones as well.

It’s not been taken well here. The whoie thing. With the sinking of a ship which was back home after being invited by India.

$4M missiles to shoot down $20k drones? Not hard to see how a $40 Trillion deficit can be racked up with that sort of mathematical prowess at the helm :zany_face:

And it seems 5-10% of the drones are still getting through anyway.

Those assholes waited till the ship was not in Indian waters before doing that firing.

I take back every benefit of the doubt i had given them

Was there any truth in the US Commander hitting the ship in a less vulnerable part, to try to minimize loss of life?

I very much agree that the sinking of the ship was a callous and horrible move. I don’t see how taking that action is a worthy prize at all. It just seemed cruel and unnecessary.

The whole war is of course illegal, but here in the States there is a lot of wrangling over not calling it a war, after Congress is trying to assert its authority.

Re the Iranian vessel:

The action exceeds the needs of war in my honest opinion. The vessel was a long way out of the conflict zone itself and was on a known goodwill mission hosted by another country. To me it is clear that it was a targeted assassination, if that term applies, rather than a target of opportunity that simply happened on combat patrol.

I do wonder how the subs commander and crew feel about the action.

The fact that those cowards in the submarine have waited till the ship was out of the indian waters means that they knew that the srilankan rescue units won’t be equipped enough to reach them in case of an emergency.

I was the one who suggested that the US commander did his best in order to minimalize casualties. This was before it was made openly known that the Ship was coming back unarmed from an excercise hosted by a country which was no where related to this.

It’s called common courtesy.

Terrible business all round then. Likely a bad/heartless order, in the context of an illegal war. So one atrocity on top of another. :frowning:

And this qualifies as a war crime.

Its illegal, and just like the illegal attack on Venezuela, america tries to make excuses and debate, there are no ethics in any of their actions or their excuses.

The fact that you are randomly attacking any country that does not bow down to America or Israels interest and then making excuses as to why you are attacking them is bullshit.

Its quite simple, either Americans sort their shit out, or sooner or later the death and carnage you have wrought on the world will sooner or later be at your doors…

And make no mistake , you are the most hated nation on earth, and the earth will rejoice when its on American shores.

I posted the video. You can judge yourself.
But unless the Submarine commander is incompetent, he could have broken the ship in two at midship. Instead the torpedo hit the stern area.

No, it does not. An action can be wrong and unethical without being a war crime. It is no War Crime at all. It is specifically allowed to sink war-ships without warnings given.

The War Crime is the launch of war, not this particular sinking; which is merely ungentlemanly conduct.
If however it had been sunk in indian waters, sure. But not in International Waters. Which is clearly what they planned for. An Ambush which is legal. Ungentlemanly, but legal.

Azerbadjan has canceled all leave for it’s armed forces and are currently mobilising on the Iranian border.

I am just posting this because I know some will see this, (which comes from Russian and Iranian accounts), as the Pro Iran/Russia crowd is spreading this all over the internet. An example is this American pro-Kremlin gnome that is rather infamous on twitter:

It’s fake.
