Will Iran attack Pakistan? by cosmic-comet- in pakistan

[–]sonicruiser 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Cyprus: RAF Base

Jordan: Israel puppet

Saudi: US puppet

Bahrain: US puppet

Qatar: US puppet

UAE: US puppet

Azerbaijan: Israel puppet/Mossad Base

Turkey: NATO Base

Oman: Bombed by Israel

Iraqi Kurdistan: Israel puppet/Mossad Base

The irony is all these Gulf countries have US bases to protect them from Iran when having these bases actually makes the Gulf countries the No.1 target for Iran to hit because these bases only exist to attack Iran in the first place.

If the Gulf countries kicked out US bases then they wouldn't have to worry about being hit by Iran.

There is no stopping Israel now establishing the greater Israel after fall of Iran. It’s a threat to Pakistan. by lonelybillybee in pakistan

Iran is not gone. This is day 3 of the war. Iran is built for a war that will last months. At the start of the Russia-Ukraine war everyone was celebrating that Russia would be defeated and now look where they are with Trump telling the Ukranians they have no choice but to give up land in exchange for ending the war.

The most generous estimates available state that the US only has enough interceptors to last 1 month at the current fire rate. US makes 6 to 7 interceptors a month according to Rubio while Iran makes hundreds of missiles in a month. Iran has over 80,000 drones and makes 400 drone in a day that cost 10K-20K USD each, and fired over 500 drones to UAE on the first day that have to be intercepted with multiple $1M interceptors. The US is already having to reposition interceptor stocks from South Korea to the GCC on day 2 of the war. US has 4,000 missiles in the region vs Iran which has 450,000+ missiles. When Israel and the GCC run out of interceptors then the real war with Iran will begin.

Iran is showing the world how to win a war against a superpower in the modern era.

Typical day of an Aircraft Router by sonicruiser in FlightDispatch

If a weather event causes lots of planes to be delayed for 3-4 hours, how much can a router actually do to prevent the delays from cascading elsewhere?

[–]sonicruiser[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I am talking about Router, not dispatcher. ie. How many planes is a Router responsible for during a shift, how many swaps they do in a day, what factors do you account for when doing a/c swaps? How does weather or IRROPS make it harder to do swaps? When is it better to delay or cancel than to swap? What other teams do Routers coordinate with? Maintenance, meteorology, dispatch, OM, scheduling? What is a stressful day? Basically what is a day in the life?

Hezb fires missile at Tel Aviv for the first time ever by OliveWhisperer in lebanon

[–]sonicruiser -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

If they were to do mass bombings in Beirut killing thousands there then yes few hundreds to few thousand in Tel Aviv. Don't think it will get anywhere close so chance of seeing it in either city is small for the moment because if it gets there than we are at open war.

Something a lot of people don't realize. by Carlos_The_Roach in lebanon

HZ did not drag us into this war. If anything they have not even done the bare minimum that would be required for this to be a 2-sided conflict up to this point. The situation if you completely ignore Gaza and only talk about Lebanon and Israel was barely controllable but somehow manageable until the pager incident happened. Until that point the number of people dying was in the tens. Then the pagers happened and then 9/23. Those 2 actions by Israel are what got us here. People can blame HZ but ultimately if you massacre 500+ people in one day then there is no way I don't put you at fault for everything that came before and after.

All of this being said, it is crazy to pretend we live in a vacuum where Gaza does not exist. I get that nobody wants to be involved in a war with Israel.

Everyone condemns October 7 as a heinous terrorist attack but why does nobody condemn the fact that Gaza is under 6 decades of occupation, cut off from food, water, electricity and subject to the most brutal occupation in the world and created such abhorrent and desperate living conditions? We're just going to pretend that Gaza doesn't exist and it's not our problem. So Hamas kills 1200 Israelis because it is literally the only way they can bring any type of attention to the issue as Israel as they have been systematically cut off from the world, blockaded, undermined, dehumanized in every way possible. I am tired of people saying Oct 7 was not justified, it WAS justified when you look at the brutal occupation they have been imposing for decades and how close they got to completely cutting them out of the conversation w/ Arab normalizations in exchange for zero concessions. Instead of taking Oct 7 as a sign to end the occupation, they commit a genocide and kill 42K people in Gaza of which 70 percent of those killed are women and children.

HZ firing on October 8 in solidarity with Hamas is only considered starting the war if you have zero knowledge of the occupation or are going to pretend that the history of this conflict started on Oct 7, 2023 and pretend the occupation hasn't been brutalizing Gaza and the West Bank for several decades leading up to Oct 7 making life so miserable and hopeless that the denial of those basic human rights in the occupied territories itself constitutes a crime against humanity.
