How I sleep during this shit after watching nearly 40 years of proxy wars unfold

[-] sbv@sh.itjust.works 45 points 2 months ago

Oh wow, this is the first news I got on Lemmy before MSM.

They say you always remember your first. 🥲

[-] verity_kindle@sh.itjust.works 21 points 2 months ago

Welcome to the best sources, sources used by the NSA and DARPA, probably....

[-] skillissuer@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 2 months ago

you're three hours late

First wave of Iranian drones are in the air

Second wave

[-] clara@feddit.uk 26 points 2 months ago

oh god they're actually doing it

[-] FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today 3 points 2 months ago

It was going to happen eventually. Netanyahu fucked around and now we're in the find out territory.

[-] clara@feddit.uk 20 points 2 months ago

citing abc news (link here), us official says 400 to 500 drones

unconfirmed reports of ballistic missiles in the air too, it's all osint right now so no good source on that yet, if i get one i'll add it as a reply

[-] skillissuer@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 2 months ago

these stayed unconfirmed

[-] clara@feddit.uk 7 points 2 months ago

okay, here's al jazeera reporting on the ballistic missile, it's a one liner but it's something

this is a saturation attack imo, the question is, at what target?

[-] skillissuer@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 2 months ago

update 2: these were confirmed, but only later. ultimately, it was: 170 drones, 30 cruise missiles, all intercepted outside israeli airspace, and 120 ballistic missiles, most intercepted outside israeli airspace. some noncritical damage to nevatim AB (east of beersheba)

[-] redcalcium@lemmy.institute 6 points 2 months ago

Does this mean Iran would stop supplying drones to Russia?

[-] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

At this point I believe the shaheds are manufactured in Russia. I know at minimum some quantity of them are.

[-] skillissuer@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 2 months ago

if you're refering to facility in alabuga, then they're making hulls, but not sure about the entire rest of the drone. russians are also clearly capable of making warheads

[-] Icalasari@fedia.io 16 points 2 months ago

2024 oddly feels like the right year for WWIII to start

not true i was taking a nap. the missiles look cute tho, 7/10

[-] psud@aussie.zone 8 points 2 months ago

I mean, of course the missiles look good

  1. They fly; and
  2. They were produced by a military industrial company

Friendly reminder we have a Matrix chatroom which can be pretty handy for discussing quickly changing events like this https://matrix.to/#/#ncdchat:tchncs.de

[-] sukhmel@programming.dev 25 points 2 months ago

With that username of yours I'm pretty scared already

[-] verity_kindle@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago

That's the Elephant's Foot with googly eyes stuck on it.

[-] verity_kindle@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 months ago

Oh shit, I put down my shit to go learn about fruit tree grafting in the meatspace and that's when the boogaloo kicks off.

[-] verity_kindle@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

Someone downvoted this. It is the fruit, then, sirrah? You dislike my grafts?

[-] Vendetta9076@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago

I think they were upset about meatspace when you should be using the far superior meatrix

[-] verity_kindle@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

Hmmm, meat for thought....

[-] verity_kindle@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

Another?! Have at thee, varlet! From NCD's heart, I spit at thee.

[-] mlg@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

I'd stay awake if there was an actual fight like an air skirmish.

spoilerYou know kind of like the one in 2019 when the PAF shot down an IAF pilot

But noooooooooooooooo

They spent 200+ drones and rockets to hit some AF trashcans and called it a success.

mfw Israel is just gonna air strike inside Iran with impunity because they don't have a competent airforce.

At least they got the USA to say they won't get directly invovled :/

[-] Scrof@sopuli.xyz 8 points 2 months ago

Iran bought into their own propaganda and thought they can actually do something this stupid and achieve any kind of success. LMAO at Iran. They should pray there wouldn't be any severe repercussions and I don't believe there wouldn't, Israel and US have been waiting for a reason to cripple that totalitarian hellhole for years, it would even help Ukraine too as Iran is the best buddy of Russia these days.

Fitting username

[-] anticurrent@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago

Me, waiting eagerly to see a huge spike in oil prices once trading resumes.

[-] umbrella@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 months ago

context? what happened over there?

[-] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 23 points 2 months ago

Iran chucked a few drones and missiles at Israel. They got blasted out of the sky by a few different militaries. Iran said it was retaliation for the embassy attack and considered the matter settled.

[-] FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today 2 points 2 months ago

I've been saying that Israel are a bunch of incompetent fucks unable to realize they're surrounded by hornets nests, but it looks like they're about to bring peace to the middle east (by being the common enemy).

My only wish is that the USA and NATO don't get dragged into a drawn out conflict over Bibi's stupid asshattery.

[-] curiousaur@reddthat.com 4 points 2 months ago

Lol, the whole conflict in Gaza has been going on for as long as it has because the US and Israel want Iran to do this. They've been wanting a reason to wipe Iran off the map before they get nukes, and they fell into the trap card.

A community for your defence shitposting needs

Rules

1. Be niceDo not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.

2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes

If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Random twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Low Hanging Fruit thread.

3. Content must be relevant

Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.

4. No racism / hatespeech

No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.

5. No politics

We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.

6. No seriousposting

We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.

7. No classified material

Classified information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.

8. Source artwork

If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.

9. No low-effort posts

No egregiously low effort posts. These include Social media screenshots with a title punchline / no punchline, recent (after the start of the Ukraine War) reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Low effort thread instead.

10. Don't get us banned

No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.
