    The U.S. and Israel have launched a massive strike campaign against Iran, targeting its navy, missile forces, and nuclear infrastructure. Satellite imagery now shows burning naval bases, destroyed warships, and bombed military sites across the country. In this breakdown, Chris Cappy analyzes how the U.S. sank Iran’s fleet, why Tomahawk missiles changed the battle, how Iran is retaliating with drones and ballistic missiles, and what this means for the Strait of Hormuz and the wider regional war.

      Thanks for these great videos, just discovering you this week.
      The Iranian drone mothership has me thinking about the rumors about a drone mother-ship back when the UFOs of New Jersey were a thing.. was that the Iranians or a war game to test the microwave weapon?

My car was sitting in the middle of the intersection at 1am, totalled.. the engine was 1/4th its original size, and the first thing I hear after getting out was some tweaker lady like 15 ft away unironically yelling "YOU CANT PARK THERE, GET THAT F-IN CAR OUT THE STREET."
      So now "you cant park there" will forever remind me of this, lmao.
      I digress. I know no one really cares, I'm just still amazed at how dumb that lady was.

      @stone-hand Month ago +11

      It is. Old. Obsolescent. It has only the Mk 1 eyeball, so it is prone to undesired killings.
      It could be replaced with newer, cheaper things.
      It is still good enough to do the job it is asked for in this specific situation.
      Kind of like my car... It is a 1985 model.

    • @dontask6863
      @dontask6863 Month ago +7

      It was always intended as a close support air strike. Usually used as backup by boots on the ground. In that role, it has always shined. Even today, A10s in Ukraine, would level the russians. The only catch is it requires air superiority in order to conduct its role. A few tech updates wouldn’t hurt, but it is FAR from obsolete even in old models.

      @konradkiaser1343
      No. Being on deck when a 5” gun goes off was worse than when a missile was launched.
      Launch of a tomahawk is similar to other missiles, just gets to light off that cruise engine shortly after.

      ​​@vaska916 well they're great for pounding undefended locations into rubble, which is what they were used for. B-52 and A10 will probably be on cleanup duty for a good while before they hit retirement. The CCR and Megadeath days are behind em. If you hear this ship coming as an infantry man, you hut the dirt and start praying. It's a ff champ. It'd be silly to call you a bot, but I reckon toy soldier fits the bill.

    The A-10, coming back from near full retirement, jumping from 216 in active service in 2025 to 268 in 2026, with 50-52 brought back from retirement, proving yet again that it is irreplaceable, is hilarious.

      imo faking retirement of aircraft is a smart move for the us to project strength for deterrence while also not revealing true capabilities.
      on one hand the us wants to reveal capabilities for deterrence, but on the other hand doesnt want to give advisaries the info required to counter us capabilities. by faking aircraft retirement advisaries are left guessing if new aircraft are actually replacing old or if they are just being added in addition.

      Airforce has tried to kill the A-10 before it was being produced. Especially after the Cheyenne helicopter was axed. They don’t want the ground support responsibility, but they damn sure don’t want to lose the funding aspect.. The politics in the military branches are f’n annoying. Not trashing on the A-10 pilots themselves, they are f’n badass’s. But Air Force brass are f’n toddlers..
      Don’t want the job? Give it to the Marines. Marine’s will do the job with far less clown show and bitching.

They're not using the most cutting edge stuff, but this is an extremely militarized country.

      @jjmckay6man1 *upgrade, I think.
      Their ships were vulnerable to missiles, but the new submarines are clearly immune to these.

      Israel and the US would take them out during construction, unless they would build them in the mountains.

    Thaad battery radar site. What part? The whole thing is a billion, but it's several different vehicles. I doubt they got an entire battery...

      I doubt they got any part of a THAAD. Only ones reporting on it are Iran sources with no proof. The sat imagery cappy shows are not THAAD radars.

      ​@spencerfairchild1776 It looks like they hit a rectangular shed that happens to look vaguely like a rectangular phased radar if you blur the photo enough to not notice that it's a shed.

    It's funny how democracy and freedom seem extremely violent from the US point of view.

      If you want peace you must prepare for war. Wonder why Switzerland was left alone in WW2? They had enough weapons to make any country think twice.

      @I@InciniumVGCou’re a du aşş. My point is being specified in your comment. prepare for war, is something completely different to invade the country😂 lol.
      Can we imagine, no one worrying about the US invading, such a piece
