    Why is Hezbollah so crazy? Was it necessary to launch thirty thousand missiles at the Jews when there was still a chance to inflict the maximum possible damage on their enemy?

      Once again they are thrown into a meat grinder like stupid fighting cocks on the front line, they get the most, and the “main friend” sits at the okian and counts the money.

      As a dog lover with years of experience, I can note that dogs of fighting breeds are rarely distinguished by great intelligence. They are angry, strong, and rush at the enemy with whom the Master pits them against, without regard to the strength of the enemy. But my brain is tight. There are equally strong dogs, such as guard dogs. But they are an order of magnitude smarter.
      Maybe it's time for Europe to decide who they are - pit bulls or Alabai? And all you need to do for this is to see who is driving them into a fight and how it usually ends.

      Why is Hezbollah so crazy?

      Because Iran absolutely does not want to start a war, and even more so on Israel's terms. The current attack was carried out precisely with the clear understanding that it would be repelled. Because everything launched is simply not enough to overload the rather powerful Jewish air defense. Especially with such a number of Shaheds, which are generally a rather simple target. If they wanted to, they would have planted a thousand devices, plus all these flying tubes from Lebanon, synchronized the approaches with the cruise missile strikes and ballistic missiles. And - almost certainly would have achieved a result.

      But Iran is only demonstrating that it can do this. But it doesn't do it. They say - we have avenged the vile attack on the consulate, face has been saved, we don't want to spin it further. Now - everything depends on Israel. If it tries to screw back - there will be a real war. But it will not be Iran that will unleash it in the eyes of all normal humanity. Which has shown maximum patience in a situation where the brazen bombing of the consulate, according to all the rules and laws, can be considered an official casus belli.

      Apparently because Iran designated this strike as a retaliatory measure, and not as a declaration of war on Israel, which implies a limited strike. If Benya does not calm down and decides that he has the right to respond, then Tehran’s next strike may no longer be limited either in means of destruction or in quantity.
      Whatever one may say, all responsibility for what is happening lies entirely with Israel, which created a casus belli by striking the embassy, ​​and therefore it is too late for it to act like a fly on glass and refer to international law.

      They still haven’t realized that America divides all its “friends” by type. Some of the first, some of the second... Ukraine here is a mess, dumped in a heap in the yard.

    It's not very well thought out. First, it was necessary to release reconnaissance drones from the territory of Syria and Lebanon. Then a massive attack from Hezbollah with hundreds of deshman missiles. In order to overload the air defense with all sorts of “Uupols”, discharge them, and reconnaissance UAVs spotted the locations of the air defense forces. And calculate the time so that after that the “Shaheeds” will immediately fly to the site to destroy the air defense. And then cruise missiles and others complete their work of destroying the selected objects.
    Indeed, it looks more like a performance.

        Not quite successful or completely unsuccessful?
        In general, it is very difficult to shoot down a modern low-flying missile (cruise missile) with an ESR < 0.01. And if it also maneuvers, as modern ones do, then it is practically impossible. The Ukrainian air defense simply does not have the means to combat such missiles. Even for the S-300 this is a very difficult target, and if the target can still be detected on the radar, then the interceptor missile will most likely not “take” the target. The probability of hitting such a target, for example, with the S-300 complex, is less than 5%, so how do they shoot them down? Or were Cheetahs placed near every transformer????

    If this were so, then, obviously, much less important goals would be chosen. Not on a tit-for-tat basis, general for general. There is still more to come with this. But the material base, including air defense, has been thinned out. It seems that Russia’s experience in the Northern Military District is in demand. Demilitarization in its purest form. Denazification? The future will show how ready the parties are for a war of attrition.
    Personal attitude is uncertain. Both parties have their own legitimate interests. They act with them in mind.

    Terrorists and Nazis always have an excuse for their atrocities.
    Once again, I am not for any terrorists, not Hamas, not the IDF - they all must be eliminated. As they say, I’m not going to understand the types of shit.

    Quote: Synoid

    You terrorists are all the same

    Then why all this talk? You're all in white. The rest are terrorists and Nazis. All clear.

    Wash your eyes from the veil and look around, there are not enemies everywhere and you must learn to seek compromises.
    And you chose the path to exterminate your population.
    .

    You are mistaken in thinking that Israel has no allies. They do exist, and they are not only the US, but also a number of European and Arab countries.
    We have a war not by choice, but by necessity. Once again, you stubbornly refuse to acknowledge the fact that you attacked us.

        I believe that there are no doubters, there are those who express the opposite, based on various interests and beliefs, despite the obvious that this is a well-known and proven system of escalation of a regional armed conflict in the Middle East. By the way, one of the goals in this RegVK is to squeeze out the population from the region to form a labile human resource, which will be able to be sent along established and newly created migration directions to the regions of Europe and Asia in the required quantities for interested parties.

    Are the surface-to-surface missiles from Grads or Katyushas? - and did they come directly from Iran? tongue

      It is believed that there is, but no one can confirm or deny it yet
      As they say, highly likely
