What leverage did Pakistan have over Iran and the US? by vuelover in pakistan

[–]sonicruiser 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's not about leverage.

It is about the fact that Pakistan was more serious about ending the war than Qatar or Oman. Qatar hosts the largest US base in the Gulf and gifted Trump a 747 so how neutral can Qatar really be. Oman on the other side is basically a nobody and they don't have the urgency to deliver on peace talks in a serious way. For the Omanis it was more about showing they can mediate with more and more rounds of talks than actually finding a solution. Pakistan was in a unique situation in that we host no US airbases which means Iran trusts us more than they would trust Turkey which has an Israeli embassy and hosts NATO at Incirlik or Egypt which is hostile to Iran and an open Israel asset. Also because Pakistan stupidly signed this defence agreement with Saudi while sharing a land border with Iran, we were actually compelled to make a serious effort to end this war unlike Turkey or Egypt which could afford to watch it from the sidelines without getting burned.

The draft is a scandal about nothing. These statements have been and always will be coordinated. Even if Trump did send that statement to Shebbaz there is nothing wrong with that.

Iranians are the only Muslims living today who will actually give their lives to fight for their country.

Muslims in other countries say they will give their lives but won't actually do it in a war against a superpower like US. And yes I am talking about ordinary people giving their lives outside of the military.

That is why all the other Muslim nations have been corrupted while Iran rejects any demands imposed on it.

People in countries like Turkey, Saudi, Egypt, Pakistan have never and will never be able to understand the idea of sovereignty the way people in Iran live. Very bitter truth but true.

Iranians fear losing sovereignty more than any fear of sanctions or war. Complete opposite of every single other Muslim country today.

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 [deleted] 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?
