@HoyasFan07@NatSecLedger Not my point at all. I am saying that both of you are agreeing that the levels before February were not enough to deter China. I never said that you assumed the US was in good standing. Please read better
Bruh, you’re actually agreeing with @NatSecLedger. Nat said they disagreed with the “take” that munitions before February 2026 were in good standing to deter China. Exact quote is “My objection is to the take that somehow munition inventories were just fine prior to Feb 26 and that the activities since depleted them to critical levels.”
@letmepickthat Oh I had no idea they moved onto HtK. Hopefully they try to learn from the mistakes of the MSE and focus on the sensor issues compared to any kinematic limitations. The primary reason for PAC-3MSE missies is late launches and poor tracking quality.
@SigmaSigmaSing@NatSecLedger@RLHeinrichs Continues drone swarm coverage is needed to bring there launching capabilities to the next level lower. Stopping there launch capability all out is impossible without a ground invasion. IMO, Iran won’t be a problem come 2030.
@CAlamo_X@jagger___@Osint613 On and off. The US needs to do at least a month long campaign of constant bombing of these external life support systems. Then have constant drone coverage. Reapers won’t cut imo
@BowTiedNiners All the engineers from my team all spent decades at Apple (Apple car) and NASA propulsion laboratory. I’m always amazed when they mention how they worked Steve himself. Definitely multiple levels to acknowledge.
@gelawdiwos14362@SineIdentitas@Lisan_Al_Gaib33@Osinttechnical Look at the beginning of this video. This is from Kuwait with PAC-3s being used. Sparks indicate the target was hit. I can send another video of PAC-3s self destructing for comparison if you’d like.
@gelawdiwos14362@SineIdentitas@Lisan_Al_Gaib33@Osinttechnical The explosion you reference is the self destruct. The rest of the explosions with sparks are intercepts. PAC-3s do have warheads, a very small one though. They are lethality enhancers.
@SineIdentitas@Lisan_Al_Gaib33@Osinttechnical These are mostly intercepts. When the PAC-3 self terminates its flight, it shows a persistent and different post termination debris. These seem to be warheads of a ballistic missile being intercepted denoted by the sparks and different intercept explosions.
@ottamiwaynow@BabakTaghvaee1@JenGriffinFNC Because the Iranians are smart. They are operating in extremely short engagement windows where the moment of unearthing or bringing a missile out of hiding to shooting it is only in minutes. The US only has so many sensors over Iran. To monitor each inch of land is impossible.
@CynicalTrader82@mattforney You can literally see in the video you reference of ships turning off there ADSBs before entering the strait and turning it back on after. Iran is done
