Re: A grave mistake
The last two Israeli air strikes on nuke facilities were named Opera and Orchard. Maybe this one will be Oscar..they'll probably get an award for it.
Or may they should call it Spanish Inquisition..no one would be expecting that!

Re: Millions of us might be **** if we ignore the Russian-Ukraine war
We have the problem that accurate BDA is probably available to the Ukrainians via their partisans, but they probably then can't confirm it to us because of OpSec. It may be possible to get some civilian satellite photos tomorrow, available to us Friday, but the Russians are in the habit of shifting ...

Re: Millions of us might be **** if we ignore the Russian-Ukraine war
Dzhankoy Update 4 I am reasonably confident, after further analysis, that the explosion and contrails seen in the video are a match for the position of the S400 battery shown near the eastern airfield revetments in the photo in the Kyiv Post analysis, and that the plumes seen represent a standard 4 ...

Speaker Mike Johnson announced today that he is sticking with his plan to put a series of foreign aid bills on the floor, including funding for Ukraine, after facing significant pressure from hardliners. Voting will happen on Saturday evening.

Dzhankoy Update First photo of the damage https://mstdn.social/@noelreports/112286401326565297 Appears to be an S-300/400 SAM battery Difficult for me to be sure, but this looks more like S-400 to me, three launchers and a radar vehicle (note white mast at the back centre). With some enhancement sof...

Russian milblogger Rybar claims that Ukraine hit the Dzhankoy airbase with 12 (!) ATACMS missiles, 'likely launched from Kherson' in two waves, one of seven and one of five. He reports damage to equipment at the airbase as well as damage to buildings. https://mstdn.social/@noelreports/11228549670152...

Re: A grave mistake
About the only airline flying across Iran now, other than Iranian ones, is Turkish Airlines. Given Erdogan's recent statements about Israel, it wouldn't surprise me if he is rather hoping one of them gets downed by Israel. There's a Lufthansa Mun-Sin flight overflying Israel now - no idea why that i...

Re: A grave mistake
Very little air traffic over Iran as of the last hour - even the Arab airlines ar now staying over Iraq. Looks like they think an attack by Israel on Iran is a possible tonight. Three Iranian airliners inbound to Tehran, on a course which would have taken them over the nuclear research site at Natan...

Re: A grave mistake
The IRGC are clearly focused on home propaganda. The truth does not matter. Iran fired missiles at Israel - that's all that matters. It therefore follows that Israel hitting Iran is the only Israeli response that matters to the IRGC. The solution to avoiding escalation following an Israeli strike is...

There appears to be an awful lot of secret intra-governmental horse-trading and blunt threats going on behind the scenes. https://twitter.com/snarwani/status/1780199469172113877 The United States expects that Israel’s military response to Iran’s strikes will be limited in scope, a senior administrat...

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V
Last time I had a mug of Oxo, made from my only remaining oxo cube, was on a November survival/escape and evasion exercise, prior to being chased around the Yorkshire Dales all night.
That was a pain in the backside too.
Best wishes for a good outcome!

Re: Millions of us might be **** if we ignore the Russian-Ukraine war
The same problems exist with dams, especially earthen dams, worldwide. I met a just-retired US dams inspector a few years ago, and the summary of a long chat was "Don't go near any dams". Choose at least one or more of any of the following (likelihood): Dam was not designed properly (rare) Dam is ol...

Re: A grave mistake
Not tonight, Josephine....
..but wait!
...Nope.
I guess we'll find out in the morning.
Doubtless the Israelis will be looking for concrete offers not to attack, and I doubt the western powers will be doing much more than talking.
Perhaps tomorrow.
