celestial navigation.... If you ever get lost with only a compass, the way to use it is to align compass heading with the direction you want to go,,,and pick an object in the distance to walk to. When you get there repeat.

Does anyone think that the only thing Iran is going to do is fly over a few dozen drones?

Footage of an Israeli ABM (likely Arrow 2 or 3) achieving an exoatmospheric (space) kill on an Iranian ballistic missile somewhere east of Israel tonight.

The dome got the overwhelming majority of what made it through other defenses. IDF claims a 95+ (I don't recall the exact number I saw) intercept rate. A few got through, though.


Thanks, that’s the information I was looking far. Hopefully Iran was just trying to save face knowing that would probably be the outcome. Hopefully cooler heads prevail.

All good until the Sats are taken out altogether

The enormous orbital debris taking out U.S. GPS birds will also in short order destroy many if not most of the Russian and Chinese constellations as well. And, the U.S. would undoubtedly retaliate to ensure their destruction.

Still, the Russians kept their terrestrial Loran-C version active while the U.S. and Euros dismantled theirs. Leading to our military and the Euro’s discussing rebuilding a newer version called eLoran. Only prototypes so far, no final plans.

In the cost scheme of things, Loran-C operated by the Coast Guard was dirt cheap and should have never been dismantled. When I say cheap I mean around $50 million a year in today’s dollars to operate sufficient land-based transmitters. In the 90’s it was around $18 million a year.

Take out everyone’s military SatNav systems including the Euro’s Galileo, and the world economy crashes as well. There is no quickly implemented alternative to these systems.

@IDF
quote:

Dozens of surface-to-surface missile launches from Iran were identified approaching Israeli territory. The IDF Aerial Defense Array successfully intercepted the majority of the launches using the Arrow Aerial Defense System, together with Israel's strategic allies, before the launches crossed into Israeli territory. A small number of hits were identified, including at an IDF base in southern Israel, where minor damage was caused to infrastructure.

Many dozens of hostile aircraft, as well as dozens of cruise missiles, were identified approaching Israeli territory from Iran and intercepted over the past few hours. Dozens of IAF fighter jets are currently operating to intercept all aerial threats approaching Israeli territory.

The IDF is deployed on all fronts, prepared, and continuing to defend Israeli territory.

You forget about that whole war in Afghanistan where US troops were being killed?


45 troops died in Afghanistan when Trump was in office. There were also 18 “non-hostile” deaths, some (some report 20). That is a remarkably low number of deaths during a four year presidency for the US. It was also a war he was handed from Bush and Obama.

Perhaps this was missed because it is incorrect.

Semantics, right? Did the attack start after sundown on Shabbat?
