DarkHunter Posted January 8, 2020 Author #51 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Iraqi state media is now saying Iranian jets have entered Iraq airspace. Honestly I have no idea what to make of that, the Iranian airforce is ancient, mostly made up of F-4 phantoms using locally made parts to fly, a few F-14 Tomcats, and random Soviet planes captured during the Iran-Iraq war which only a few even have functional weapon systems. If Iran is trying to bomb targets it will be a suicide run so not sure if true or not due to how bizarre it is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But with a complete disregard of casualties and human life. That dude probably doesn't care about the price of putting US troops in harm's way, only to satisfy his ego.

Of all those models combined they have 10 aircraft in total while having around 63 F-4 Phantoms and I believe 23 F-14 Tomcats Edited January 8, 2020 by DarkHunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably just empty threats, Iran has little to gain from expanding the conflict and is probably hoping to just limit American retaliation 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havent really heard much more about it, there are reports of American jets being all over Iraq currently though. Thinking it may just be inaccurate reporting from all the confusion going on 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkHunter Posted January 8, 2020 Author #66 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Also airlines are starting to divert flights away and around Iranian airspace, that is massive as that cost airlines a ton of money and is only done when the airlines expect something really bad to happen 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+susieice Posted January 8, 2020 #67 Share Posted January 8, 2020 (edited) CBS is reporting the missiles by the US Consulate in Erbil landed far to the north. The area around the Consulate is calm. They are hearing of no US casualties. They also say Irani Revolutionary Guards have said they will attack neighboring countries that had anything to do with this, I think he meant the killing of Soleimani.

+joc Posted January 8, 2020 #71 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Yeah, that's about what I figured...Iran throws a few missiles at US targets...careful not to kill anyone...and calls it done...probably report to their citizens that thousands of US casualties happened and that Trump is considering surrendering to Iran. What a bunch of jokesters! We have launched missiles in retaliation! We have won the war! Nothing to see here...go back to your little villages and mourn Salameani and rejoice that the Great Satan is dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all, this is the same nation that used thousands of CHILDREN from 8 years-old on, to march through landmines to clear the way for tanks. They gave them colored plastic "keys" to paradise. That is the mentality we are dealing with. These old men and their religion are EVIL. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
