Cannot answer the first, but the aircraft fly on at sea.

In the real world off-campus, good marksmanship trumps good will.

Mission Capable Parts. Meaning we will directly impact the counties ability to defend itself if we do not get these parts to them. All other stuff goes to the wayside and all reasonable manpower goes to delivering these units. I don’t know how they supply the actual carriers but I was personally told shift production over to carrier variant fighter parts.

YMMV, buyer beware, grain of salt - watch out for people posting videos from video games and trying to pass them off as real, also, use reverse image search on images to see if they are new or old and reused.

https://globe.adsbexchange.com/ <---- Site that shows flight tracking for planes that have that enabled.

These are to twitter channels, replace the nitter(.net , .cz, etc...) with "twitter.com" to get the orignal link. Nitter is a mirroring server for twitter. Example: to get to the twitter link for "https://nitter.net/Jerusalem_Post" you would change it to "https://twitter.com/Jerusalem_Post"

A list of nitter mirror sites - they have a habit of going in and out of service from time to time: https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/wiki/Instances#third-party-nitter-services If the nitter mirroing site for twitter that you are using is not working, select a working nitter address from this link and substitute it for the "twitter.com" part of the tweet or twitter user account you want and try that. If you are having trouble finding a working one, try this prefix: " https://farside.link/nitter/ " - this hooks up to a program on the net that automatically finds you a working nitter mirror server and sends you to it. ( https://github.com/benbusby/farside for those interested )

To use the twitter link feature on the forum, copy the link from the tweet from the time or date/time on the twitter page, than on the forum click the twitter icon (the bird) and paste in the link from the time/date that you copied. It will look like this: "https://twitter.com/CeciliaSykala/status/1713001301511110853" HOWEVER - if the link has a "?" in it and stuff to the right of the "?" you NEED to erase the "?" and everything to the right or the forums tweet feature will not work.

Flashman:
Probably best take I have heard on zionism and the formation of modern israel is in this series of podcasts. They are not short and they are not light content, but if you really want to have an understanding of the background on the conflict, I think it would be hard to do better:

#1 - Fear & Loathing in the New Jerusalem, pt. 1 from The Martyrmade Podcast

The conflict between Israel and Palestine can often seem like a permanent feature of the global order. The wars, intifadas, refugees camps, suicide vests, UN resolutions, and peace talks have been painfully burned into our collective consciousness. But how could this have happened? Was it always this way? That's what we'll seek to find out in this three-part series on the history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

In Episode #1, nations are rallying to throw off the yoke of the Great Powers, and demanding the sovereign right to rule their homelands. A group calling themselves Zionists puts out a call to awaken the oppressed Jews of Europe from their thousand-year slumber. The time had come, after two thousand years of homeless wandering, to return to Palestine, the land longed for in so many psalms and lamentations. But there was a problem. While the Jews were in exile, another people had moved into the land, and they had been living there for 1300 years.

#2 - Fear and Loathing in the New Jerusalem, pt. 2 from The Martyrmade Podcast

The Arabs and the Zionists in Palestine struggle to get their bearings in a ruined world. The smell of gunsmoke still lays thick over the landscape, and the ink is still wet on the Balfour Declaration and the several new international agreements. The First World War is over, and people around the world are demanding their independence in the new world order. But building a national identity takes more than just drawing lines on a map or running a rag up a flagpole.

#3 - Fear & Loathing in the New Jerusalem - Nostalgia and Naivety in Honor Culture from The Martyrmade Podcast

We're halfway through Fear & Loathing in the New Jerusalem, the history of Zionism and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. (If you haven't listened to the first two episodes, you might want to do that for background, but this episode is an exploratory aside that can stand on its own as well.) I decided to throw something together to answer a few questions and get down in the weeds to talk about Arab tribal dynamics, honor culture, religion, and the mutual incomprehension that helped construct the Middle Eastern mousetrap a century ago, and remains an obstacle to progress in the region today.

#4 - Fear & Loathing in the New Jerusalem, pt. 3 from The Martyrmade Podcast

Hi everyone. Been a long time. My day job has been downright abusive the last 2-3 months, but we're back with Episode 4 of Fear & Loathing in the New Jerusalem. As the Middle Eastern regional order is hammered into place by the Entente powers, Zionism goes underground. Prosperity abroad and security in Palestine make the 1920s a relatively quiet period in this story. It's been chaos behind us and nothing but chaos in front, but we're in the eye of the storm. The British try a more inclusive approach toward the Arabs, but as the real effects of the Zionist project begin to be felt, tensions rise until the decade ends as it began in violence.

#5 - Fear & Loathing in the New Jerusalem - Things Fall Apart... from The Martyrmade Podcast
My laptop literally died a horrible death as I was uploading this episode, and I'm at a Kinkos finishing this post. Once I have a computer, I'll get the stuff up. The things I do for y'all

Riots. Massacres. The end of the world and everything in it. Palestinian Arabs finally find a voice in the wake of the 1929 massacres. Unable and unwilling to find a place for the Jews, Europe's autoimmune disorder begins to tear the host apart. Desperate European Jews seek escape from Nazi persecution just as Palestinian resistance stiffens and the British become skeptical of the Zionist project.

#6 - Fear & Loathing in the New Jerusalem - Never Again from The Martyrmade Podcast
Modern Zionism began in the late 19th century with idealistic calls for spiritual renewal; by 1939, it had transformed into a desperate play for bare survival. Young revolutionaries do combat with Zionist elder statesmen for the soul of the movement. Hitler's German Reich and Stalin's Soviet Union do battle for Europe while everything between them is ground into the mud. Victims become victimizers, and the wider world gets an introduction to the dispute that has been confounding the British Empire for 20 years. Our episode begins with desperate Jews in Nazi Europe, it ends with the realization of the Zionist dream, for the first time in 2,000 years, a sovereign state of Israel.

This series (in the spoiler fold above) has helped me understand the region and the blood feuds and the culture and why things that have happened happened. The truth is not in the middle here, it's wherever it is, and it has to be chased after hard to be found.

Quick thread on Israel's air defence systems in the next war with Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Israel currently operates:

10 batteries of Iron Dome
2 batteries of David's Sling
6 batteries of Patriot PAC-2
2 batteries of Arrow 2
1 battery of Arrow 3

Mar 14, 2021 5:34 PM UTC

Most of Hezbollah's 150,000 rocket and missile arsenal consists of small and medium range rockets. Mainly Katyushas: 107mm, 122mm, & Falaq-1/2, Khaibar-1, as well as Fajr-3 and Fajr-5's. Therefore Iron Dome will likely be doing most of the heavy lifting during the next conflict.

The issue is approx 4,000 rockets and missiles will be falling in Israel each day of the war (at least at the beginning until the IAF can destroy many launch sites and storage sites). Most of these rockets will fall in the range of Iron Dome.

This war will be very different to Gaza. Many towns & villages will likely remain undefended in the north as air bases and critical infrastructure in cities and other areas are given priority in defence. This means many rockets may fall in towns without interception.

In terms of Hezbollah's longer range rockets and missiles, these are mainly thousands of Zelzal-2 large-calibre artillery rockets and hundreds of Fateh-class ballistic missiles. These will need to be intercepted by David's Sling and Patriot PAC-2 GEM+

These Fateh-class ballistic missiles are the main worry. They are likely Syrian M-600 variant Fateh-110's with a CEP of 250m. They will probably be used to strike key sites such as the Haifa oil refinery and Dimona nuclear facility. These will need to be given intercept priority.

Hezbollah's PGM project aims to upgrade existing Zelzal-2 and Fateh-110's with Labeik guidance kits which increase the accuracy CEP to around 10m, close to that of a Fateh-313. These will be used to strike places such as air bases and the Kirya. Again these must be intercepted.

Next is the Scud-D threat. In the early 2010's Syria reportedly handed over a few dozen Scud-D SRBM's to Hezbollah (I am doubtful- they're easy targets & need maintenance). If this is true these are very accurate missiles that will need to be intercepted using Arrow 2 batteries.

Next is the drone and cruise missile threat. Hezbollah likely has hundreds of drones- including Ababil-T (Qasef-2k) loitering munitions and dozens of cruise missiles such as the Soumar and Quds-1 (Yemen is likely a testing ground for these Iranian systems).

Air defence systems such as Iron Dome, David's Sling and Patriot can likely intercept the incoming cruise missiles and drones but will require help from IAF fighter jets for cruise missiles and Apaches for drones. Recently a new air-air missile for this purpose was tested.

(video @ twitter link - flashman)

In terms of the threat to offshore energy supplies and ships- Hezbollah likely has hundreds of C-802 Noor and C-704 Nasr anti-ship cruise missiles as well as perhaps dozens of Khalij-e-Fars anti-ship ballistic missiles.

C-Dome systems will likely counter drone attacks and Barak-8 on the 3 Sa'ar-5 and 4 Sa'ar-6 class missile corvettes will likely be able to deal with anti-ship cruise missiles and anti-ship ballistic missiles.

A few updates here. Hezbollah likely now has hundreds, possibly thousands of Shahed-131/136 kamikaze drones, among others. As well as the 1000km+ range Abu Mahdi anti-ship cruise missile too.
(The below is in reply to a question abotuw why israel has so few iron dome launchers - flashman)
There are multiple launchers 3-4 in a battery. Each launcher has 20 interceptors. They have around 40 launchers in total, so around 800 interceptors with thousands more in storage

ETA:

Note: Israel is thought to operate 12+ Iron Dome batteries not 10+.

I think one thing that has to be noted about the terror attack last week by Hamas near the Gaza border was both its planning and scale.

Today, the IDF released additional images of captured systems, including dozens of RPG warheads, massive EFP IEDs, and various small arms.

I think some have the narrative that the overall success of the attack was surprising, but Hamas clearly had deeply planned and massed resources for a massive attack, where the outcome seen wasn't a reach at all.

Info cards for the ID and destruction of IDF systems were also produced, in line with the PG-7VR and EFP IEDs

Here is one that shows the best way to target an IDF Merkava Mk.4 MBT with both PG-7VR rounds and IEDs

The sheer number of vehicles used should not be discounted either, several technicals were destroyed by Israeli forces outside of Kibbutz Be'eri

Toyota pickup with a massive propane tank IED destroyed by the IDF near Re'em

Additional destroyed motorcycles outside of Holit, with a pair of Misagh-1 MANPADS

Additional arms and especially ammunition found at the Sufa Base.

Hamas pickup recovered by Israeli forces with more PG-7VR, TC series landmines, and small arms ammunition.

Another Hamas pickup recovered with a large amount of PG-7VR, improvised EFPs, and other explosives

One thing that should also be noted was the sheer number of TC series antitank mines found (sand-colored landmine). These were most likely carried by Hamas into Israel to impede a larger IDF response.

I would not be surprised if it were a serious concern how many were emplaced.

Additionally, as obtained by the South First Responders, a rough mission plan for the attack on Mefalsim showed the Hamas force makeup, local responder force sizes, possible response plans, and goals to capture civilians

If Hezbollah attacks simultaneously as the IDF invades Gaza, the Israelis will be fucked. We can help hold them back.

Basically, you are creating a FAE-like effect by doing that.

They work up for months prior to a deployment, short little trips to shake off the rust of being in port, or having major mechanical work done, they'll go to the Caribbean for a couple weeks so the air wing can practice catching wires and get all the quals done. All manner of reasons it would leave port prior to a deployment.

Or its a big deal. I would think that if it's really a big deal more than the Navy would be making moves.

I think deploying to Yokosuka is pretty much China's front door and you better have your shit in one sock. So the pre-deployment work ups are pretty serious. They aren't check rides.

That being said the next carrier up for deployment, especially this close to deployment, would be the logical choice to use for an emergency...but even that would take weeks to get spun up for. The GW pulling out this morning probably isn't headed to the eastern med or PG right away. They might extend Reagan and shift her over, then back fill with GW. Reagan is all spun up, she was out doing stuff a couple weeks ago.

My thoughts at this point are the carriers aren't just for Israel's protection...they are to ensure our assets in the region aren't attacked further.

Who would like the US entirely out of the region...if possible?

That being said, I can’t MICAP a part unless it puts a specific tail partially or non-mission capable. I can’t order spares on a MICAP priority.

That's a good point.

Syria, Lebanon, parts of Iraq, certainly Iran. Russia wouldn't pass up a cheap shot if they could mask attribution, so they'll help the other shitbirds if they can. China is kinda sorta in the region. I wouldn't put it past them to either covertly assist said shitbirds or at least hoover up all the intel they can.

It's not a good neighborhood, but it is familiar to us.

“We want to bring Hamas to a state of full dismantling - its leaders, its military branch, and its working mechanisms. That is why we are striking, and eliminating high ranking commanders and members, destroying infrastructure, and acting with great determination. The path is a path of unrelenting attacks, damaging Hamas everywhere and in every way. We are well prepared for the ground operations in the south. The Southern Command has quality operational plans. There are tactical, operative, strategic considerations that have provided additional time, and troops who have more time are better prepared, and that is what we are doing now. I am fully aware of the commitment shown in all of the IDF, both in regular and reserve duty, and it is displayed everywhere."

IDF doctrine since 1967 was designed to be able to fight a 3-front war: the south (Gaza), the West Bank, and the north (Lebanon). Having said that, I don't think they've had to put it in practice in 50 years. They should be able to handle insurgents from all 3 areas, but I suspect we'll see soon enough.

It’s quite obvious that the carriers besides the Ford will be for our soldiers protection. My opinion if I wanted us out of the region is irrelevant with what’s going on now.

that's Ilhan Omar's territory. She''ll have him as a guest of honor at a fund raising luncheon, the token Hamas-friendly semi-militant white guy.

IDF believes it’s ready for Gaza ground offensive — and that it should start soon

The Israel Defense Forces believes that in order to attain the government’s stated objectives in the war against the Hamas terror group, the military must begin its ground offensive in the Gaza Strip sooner rather than later, The Times of Israel learned Monday.

Israel says its war against Hamas is aimed at destroying the Iran-backed terror group’s infrastructure and has vowed to dismantle the organization after the October 7 massacres.

Led by Hamas and carried out with other terror groups, the assault saw some 2,500 terrorists burst across the border into Israel from the Gaza Strip by land, air, and sea, killing some 1,400 people and seizing at least 222 hostages of all ages, under the cover of thousands of rockets fired at Israeli towns and cities.

The Times of Israel learned that, after 16 days of airstrikes, the IDF has told the government that it is fully prepared for a ground offensive in the Gaza Strip, and believes it can achieve the goals set out for it, even at the risk of heavy casualties to soldiers, and amid ongoing attacks by Hezbollah in the north.

But the military fears that the government may not ever give the order to begin the ground offensive, or postpone it for a lengthy period.

Should the army need to move its focus to the northern front instead of Gaza, it is confident that it could pivot within just a few days. The IDF has already heavily bolstered the Lebanon border, but most forces remain near Gaza, ahead of the expected ground offensive.

Regarding the 222 confirmed hostages held by Hamas and other terror groups in the Gaza Strip, the military has been preparing for the possibility of rescue operations amid the ground offensive, according to information seen by The Times of Israel.

The army is concerned that further hostage releases by Hamas could lead the political leadership to delay a ground incursion or even halt it midway

CBS’s ‘Face the Nation’ Circles the Wagons Around Hamas Terrorists Against Israel
Curtis Houck October 23rd, 2023 12:51 PM

CBS’s Sunday political talk show Face the Nation spent its most recent episode lashing out against Israel and rallying around the Palestinians and their beloved Hamas terrorist group who rule over them in Gaza.

From the very beginning, host Margaret Brennan and correspondent Imtiaz Tyab touted claims that Israel has been engaged in “apartheid” war crimes” against poor Gazans and the real issue at hand is “blowback” to Israel’s response to the October 7 mass slaughter of over 1,400 innocents and it all could “backfire.”

Tyab had the second of two reports from the region and cheered the “massive demonstrations in solidarity with Palestinians” “around the world,” including “over 100,000 people” “in London...demanding an end to Israel’s war in Gaza.” Naturally, he censored any mention of the anti-Semitic rhetoric from said rallies calling for further exterminations of Jews.

He fretted that “the violence” in “the Israeli-occupied West Bank...is only getting worse” and painted Israel as the sudden aggressor.

Tyab then turned to the Palestinian National Initiative’s Mustafa Barghouti, who’s already made headlines for ugly rhetoric and peddled lies defending Hamas’s terror attack, such as insisting Hamas only targeted “military installations” and the hostages were largely soldiers.

Ghoul who works for the NY magazine:

Last night, I asserted that this report indicated that babies were beheaded. This was an overstatement. I should have said that the report established that babies were found headless, a fact that lends plausibility to claims of beheading, but which does not prove them.
Eric Levitz (@EricLevitz) October 22, 2023

He wasn't content to do it just once, he pulled the word tricks:

(The verb behead has multiple definitions, and is sometimes used to mean decapitate; the report indicates that Hamas did behead babies in that sense. But the term can also connote a form of execution using a knife, and we do not have confirmation of beheading in this sense)
Eric Levitz (@EricLevitz) October 22, 2023

I think bozell is right:

The fact that Eric Levitz muddied the waters on the horrific beheading of babies by terrorists shows how afraid the leftist media are to criticize Hamas. https://t.co/bY0FwcDDmj

MSNBC's Mehdi Hasan to Ocasio-Cortez: Israel Commits 'War Crimes,' Opposing Ceasefire Is Racist
Bill D'Agostino October 23rd, 2023 1:48 PM

MSNBC’s Mehdi Hasan on Sunday interviewed “Squad” member Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) — and it went exactly as as one might expect for a conversation between a former al-Jazeera employee and a marxist millennial politician to go. Hasan repeatedly yielded the floor for his guest to pontificate about Israel’s “war crimes,” and suggested that Congressional opposition to a ceasefire in Gaza was due to racism.

Lindsey Graham stopped question about 'Squad' member Rashida Tlaib while in Israel
by Jack Birle, Breaking News Reporter October 23, 2023 02:58 PM

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) forcefully stopped questions to Democratic senators about Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) blaming Israel for a blast that damaged a hospital in Gaza.

Newsmax reporter Daniel Cohen asked the question during a press conference on Sunday of a bipartisan group of senators in Israel. When Cohen asked if there was "any Democrat senator here that would like to speak to Rashida Tlaib," saying that "she still has a tweet up condemning Israel for a hospital attack," Graham interrupted by telling the reporter not to ask about domestic matters.

"Uh, stop. No. Stop!” Graham said. “We are here together not to talk about the problems at home, which are many."
