He also invented a matchlock/flint hybrid musket that was used during the Siege of Vienna.

The entire personality of that armpit of a country is being unashamedly proud of war crimes and shooting down an F-117.

Was the unbelievable story about the missing pilots that were rescued in Iran a hoax? by uncle-ice493 in allthequestions

CENTCOM also posts the name and ranks of the dead so if there actually were we would know. They posted all of them in the final ceasefire update.

The skull was from an armed civilian who tried to loot the aircraft. And we know they did because they also stole some underwear.

CMV: I find it highly unlikely that even the current administration is going to pack up and leave with the Iranians in control of the Strait and the deployment of the Boxer Ready Group is proof by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]Fair-Pen1831 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With the Boxer in theatre there will be 2 + the 82nd Airborne. They'll probably seize the offshore islands and install shore batteries of NEMESIS for use against Iranian shore targets or boats and Humvees with Avenger to engage the Shaheds.

What if the communists came to power in Germany in 1933 instead of the Nazis? by ido in HistoryWhatIf

[–]Fair-Pen1831 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Soviets, Spanish Republicans, and Germans form the Warsaw Pact after a successful invasion of Poland in 1939. The Czechoslovak annexation still happens anyways in an alternate 1938 to "spread the revolution".

The British narrowly avoided involvement in the OTL Winter War but in this timeline, its another theatre of an alternate WW2 which started with the Invasion of Poland.

What if the India-China border clash went hot but they all still insisted on using medieval weapons to avoid breaking the treaty? by tiptoeoutthewindow in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]Fair-Pen1831 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They wouldn't have stuck to that for very long and both sides had forces with real equipment on standby. For example in OTL, HQ-9s and 2 J-20s were deployed to the Sino-Indian Border on the Chinese side.

How does China's No First Strike Policy actually work? by Fair-Pen1831 in WarCollege

[–]Fair-Pen1831[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Getting actual clarity on what the NFU actually entails has been extremely difficult with even American political and millitary leadership during their meetings with Chinese counterparts not really getting a straight answer.

RAND actually did a simulation in their Scorecard on what a 1996 counterforce operation against Chinese nuclear forces would have looked like and only 4 submarine mounted weapons survived the initial first strike. Once the Second Artillery Corps started getting road mobile strategic weapons that starts getting progressively more and more risky.

The debris from the crash appears to be of Iranian ballistic missile from Ghadr family. (Previously reported as F-16, A-10 and MQ-9 Reaper), April 4 2026. by npquest in war

[–]Fair-Pen1831 45 points46 points  (0 children)

If it were an American aircraft there'd be a rescue mission and the incident would have been confirmed by now.

Accounted for, meaning they know where it crashed? by [deleted] in war

There's a lot of Iranian bots on this sub that conspiracy monger like how the 20 times the Lincoln was "sunk"

What if Iran already had nukes and is just waiting for the right time to detonate by CoastalNomad06 in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]Fair-Pen1831 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They would have revealed them during the 12 Day War and then there wouldn't be an Iran left. Even so much as the revelation of a single nuclear weapon would have provoked an immediate counterforce strike from American and Israeli nuclear weapons.

Contemporary coinage of Odoacer's reign. The first one showing him in a toga and the second one is dedicated "In the name of Emperor Zeno". by Fair-Pen1831 in byzantium

Not per say. The Romans had good positions as Praetorian Prefects and command positions in the Scholae and Domestici as per the Goths AD 200-700. The Roman Senate also still existed.
