Quote HistoryQuoted: Multiple pages back, a few asked about long range, heavy-bombers. The top image is flipped (it's a window sticker), but 69 Squadron the "Hammers" is your answer. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/408302/PXL_20210515_221028404-1943604.jpg Hence why the famous 'raid on the sun' was quite a feat getting those Vipers and Eagles all the way to Iraq with enough gas and ordinance to get the job done. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I don’t think you fully appreciate the dedication Hamas has nor how little disregard they have for fellow Palestinians. After they won the Gaza Civil War they simply executed many of the Palestinian Authority Police that surrendered lest they have to again deal with them later. OK,let me put it to you this way: you are a poor Palestinian guy who much like 60% of the fellows your age hasn’t had a job in 10 years. You don’t want the Israelis to blow up your house because Hamas is going to set up a rocket rail in your garden. How do you dissuade them? What gun that you don’t have are you going to use to threaten the 5 guys with AKs that aren’t particularly scared of Israeli drones as they set up their rocket?

Quote HistoryQuoted: They don't have any heavy bombers. Just Eagles, Vipers, and Panthers. (F-15/16/35) Hence why the famous 'raid on the sun' was quite a feat getting those Vipers and Eagles all the way to Iraq with enough gas and ordinance to get the job done. It was formed as a heavy squadron. Of course while the 'Thunder' can carry more payload than those original B-17s it doesn't class the same. They honor the lineage and share some really cool history. |

Why not turn a commercial airliner into a bomb truck, You could get away with it at least once. If the enemy has very little air defense it is a solution.

Why was the title edited to add “War”?
Was there a formal declaration? Does Palestine even have a government to target, or is it just IDF continuing to go after the terrorists there. Genuinely curious since no MSM seem to care about this other then sound bites of Isreali aggression. |

On a side note, Austria has just voiced its support for Israel, much to the dismay of Iran.
https://www.rt.com/news/523912-iran-cancels-visit-austria/ Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif has cancelled his trip to Austria after officials in Vienna raised Israeli flags in solidarity with Tel Aviv during its fight with Hamas in Gaza.  . |

So technical question.. We all know Iron dome and it seems to be working as expected. But didnt we use C-ram in Iraq against mortar's and such to good success?
Why a missle system vs a projectile one? I mean it obviously works just curious why one conflict sees one and not the other? |

I'm trying to figure out how all this ends.
Hamas doesn't seem to be backing down and seem to have a metric shit-ton of material support. With the ass whooping Gaza is getting they have not asked for a breather to reload (cease-fire) and are quite emboldened. They are eating Israeli air and arty strikes and don't seem to care and are carrying on. What is their end game , they don't seem to be running out of bodies , did they stock up ? Why is nobody supporting Israel ? Sure doesn't look like anybody is. Is Iran looking to step in to the fray , other than the material support they are giving Hamas ? What happens if Israel completely flattens the Gaza strip ? Who do they face after that ? This just seems to be getting out of hand. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Are they fighting over some newly developed rift, or is this just a continuation of their ages old territorial / biblical dispute? The honest answer? Its the beginning of Ramadan. The Israelis declared a size limit at some mosque in Jerusalem to no more than 10K attendees at a time. A. its a pandemic and B. they just had an incident a couple weeks back with large crowds trampling people. It could be good faith it could be they are dicks. Who knows but 10K people in a mosque is no small group of people. I want to say its Al-Aqsa Muslims said F you and packed the place. Israeli security forces had to use riot control munitions inside the mosque to settle the issue. Hamas used that as an excuse to start shooting at civilians. My personal take is they got their stock piles up and needed some martyrs so they were just looking for any reason. And here we are. @macro https://www.indiatoday.in/world/story/al-aqsa-violence-why-israel-and-palestine-are-going-at-one-another-again-1801365-2021-05-11 |

Once Hamas is out of arms they will call a cease fire till next time. This never ends until one side is dead. The Jews wont push the Palestinians into the sea because of international backlash and the Palestinians are never ever gonna give up until they are all dead or the Jews are dead. your Great Great Great Great grandkids are going to experience similar news events. |

They should steam roll the strip, but what to do with the 2mil+ refugees as a result. No one around them wants to take them in, world opinion would place blame on Isreal for “causing” that crisis. There isn’t a good path forward for this, they will wipe out the terrorist organization, but a new one will spring up and killed leaders will be replaced. It’s a cancer who’s treatment won’t fix it. |

Iron Dome protects an entire region from (2.5 miles to 43 miles away) Can engage 20 multiples targets at the same time. |

That flight of billions to Iran from the Biden admin? The palis kept it out of the news for a reason. They knew that trump would stand beside Israel. Now that mr potato brain is in charge, they are able to up the tempo. Israel is smart and realizes that they don’t care who is in the White House, they have work to do. Best outcome is for izzys to go house to house, create a bigger buffer zone. Even better, push Gaza into the sea. |
