🚨🚨🚨 #Pakistan has designated targets inside #India as credible... intelligence confirms New Delhi’s orchestration of a fresh wave of terrorism against Pakistan. According to Pakistan’s security apparatus, Indian agencies are actively training Terrorist's affiliated with the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) and Sindhudesh Revolutionary Army (SRA) in camps near the Rajasthan-Sindh border, aimed at destabilizing Sindh and Balochistan. The Pakistan Air Force (PAF) and Pakistan Army have finalized comprehensive operational plans. Should India dare to dispatch even a single terrorist incursion, Pakistan will initiate immediate retaliatory strikes. These operations will employ precision-guided munitions, cruise missiles, multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS), and calibrated ground offensives to obliterate identified threats within Indian territory. #Pakistan will not await another act of aggression on its soil. Any violation of its sovereignty will trigger a swift and overwhelming response — one that will echo across the world by the very next morning. Pakistan stands fully prepared. Any miscalculation or misadventure by the enemy will be met with a forceful and devastating cost. #India #IndianArmy #PakistanArmyshow more

“India only has a problem with one neighbouring country.... And that country was born out of India. But there are many people standing behind that country and creating problems," says RSS General Secretary Hosabale in America Very interesting claim. Except India’s problems are not limited to one neighbour. Bangladesh 🇧🇩 has had disputes with India 🇮🇳 over border killings, water sharing, and political interference. Nepal 🇳🇵 has repeatedly clashed with India 🇮🇳 over blockades, maps, and sovereignty concerns. Maldives 🇲🇻 has openly pushed back against Indian political and military overreach. China 🇨🇳 has an active military confrontation with India 🇮🇳 on the border. And Pakistan 🇵🇰 is hardly the exception India 🇮🇳 pretends it is. As for the “born out of India 🇮🇳 ” line, that is historically lazy and politically dishonest. Neither India 🇮🇳 nor Pakistan 🇵🇰 was “born out of” the other. Both emerged from the partition of British India in 1947. They were successor states, not parent and child. So no, this is not history. It is just a sloppy attempt to dress political arrogance as civilizational wisdom.…show more

So the Indian propaganda finally reached my family!! Major... Gaurav Arya! Although a close friend of GM Syed and a Sindhi nationalist, Pir Ali Muhammad Rashdi always opposed Sindhudesh. Rashdi saab was an ardent partiot and was an active member of Pakistan Movement (Sindh chapter). He was one of the authors of Pakistan Resolution. Secondly, the period you are referring to marked the zenith of Pir Ali Muhammad Rashdi as a successful Pakistani diplomat- he was then serving as Pakistan’s Ambassasor to China and was a close aide of General Ayub Khan. Moreover, Rashdi Family of Sindh has always demonstrated unequivocal loyalty to the State of Pakistan. Hence, the Hurs- the voluntary warriors under the patronage of Rashdi spiritual order- fought shoulder-to-shoulder with the Pakistan Army in 1965 and valiantly kept the Indian forces at bay. Even my X account is banned in India for countering Indian propaganda during the recent Pak-India stand off broke out this year in May in which India lost 7 jets. My unmistakable loyalty to Pakistan and Pakistani forcers is evident from the fact that I am an ex-ISI officer and a former bureaucrat. Lastly, don’t dare refute my arguments because I am the GRANDSON OF PIR ALI MUHAMMAD RASHDI. 😊 Pakistan Zindabad! Major Gaurav Arya (Retd)show more

Breaking News; CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE ON THE WAY, the masses... of the Republic of Balochistan are ready to kick out the occupational forces of Pakistan. 7th July, 2026 We are pleased to share encouraging news with our people and with the world: every corner of Balochistan has grown weary of Pakistan's occupying military forces. Business owners, farmers, shopkeepers, transporters, students, teachers, and people from all walks of life are now looking toward the pro-independence defense forces of Balochistan with hope and expectation to declare victory over Pakistan. Pakistan's occupying military is involved in broad day light stealing fuel from the vehicles of Baloch transporters. They stop them at military checkpoints, detain them for hours, subject them to harassment, extort bribes of up to 200,000 Pakistani rupees, and in many cases physically assault them. As a result, the people of Balochistan are now prepared to resist these abuses. The people of Balochistan explained the ground reality that Pakistan's military forces will soon be expelled from Balochistan.show more

BREAKING: 🇸🇾🇺🇸 Al Majadin: US bases in Syria are... under fire, Americans have been killed. American military bases in eastern and northeastern Syria came under fire. According to Al Majadin TV channel, military personnel were killed. The attack was in response to US strikes on targets in eastern Syria. As reported by the TV channel, 15 missiles were fired at the US military base near the Koniko gas field in Deir ez-Zor province. The target was the military headquarters and weapons depots. Al Majadin says at least 10 helicopters have flown wounded Americans to Iraq, where a military hospital is located. The number of dead has not been specified. Another US base, al-Shadadi in the northeastern Syrian province of Hasakah, was attacked by three drones. The Islamic Resistance of Iraq, which supports Hamas in its war with Israel, claimed responsibility for the attacks. Shortly before the attack, the United States carried out strikes on sites in eastern Syria that the Pentagon said were being used by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and pro-Iranian groups. The targets were a training base near the town of Abu Kamal and a building near the town of Mayadin, from where the militants allegedly operated covertly. The strikes were in response to dozens of attacks on US bases since the start of the war in Israel. The sides also exchanged attacks in late October and on the night of November 9.show more

🔹Debunking Propaganda - Since the preceding day, individuals associated... with a political party have been disseminating disinformation and propagating their narrative concerning the APS Incident. They have employed a propaganda clip featuring the fugitive soldier Mudassir Iqbal. - Mudassir Iqbal, a former soldier who absconded to Afghanistan after committing a homicide, sought refuge with the Khawarij of the TTP. - In 2017, hostile intelligence agencies decided to exploit Mudassir Iqbal's military identity for their nefarious purposes and propaganda efforts. - On August 23, 2017, a video was disseminated through media outlets affiliated with their terrorist groups, including the TTP and BLA, with the aim of disseminating disinformation and propaganda against the Pakistan Army. -- Background on the APS Attack: In June 2014, the Pakistan Armed Forces initiated a joint military operation against various militant groups in North Waziristan, which had become a hotbed of violence. This military offensive, known as Operation Zarb-e-Azb, was launched in response to the terrorist attack on Jinnah International Airport in Karachi on June 8, 2014, for which the TTP claimed responsibility. On December 16, 2014, six gunmen affiliated with the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) conducted a terrorist assault on the Army Public School in Peshawar. These terrorists, all of whom were foreign nationals, included one Chechen, three Arabs, and two Afghans. They infiltrated the school premises and opened fire on both school staff and children, resulting in the tragic loss of 149 lives, including 132 schoolchildren aged between eight and eighteen years old. This incident stands as the world's fifth deadliest school massacre. In response, Pakistan launched a rescue operation conducted by the Pakistan Army's Special Services Group (SSG) special forces, which successfully eliminated all six terrorists and saved 960 individuals. -- Masterminds And Attackers: The Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) claimed responsibility for the attack, citing it as retaliation for Operation Zarb-e-Azb, the Pakistani military's campaign in North Waziristan that commenced in the summer of 2014. TTP spokesman Muhammad Omar Khorasani asserted that they targeted the school due to the Army's targeting of their families, expressing their desire for the Army to comprehend their suffering. On December 18, 2014, the TTP released a video on their website featuring Umar Mansoor, who disclosed that he masterminded the Peshawar School attack. The planning along with mansoor nari was executed by Saddam Jan, on instructions from Maulana Fazlullah. On December 26, 2014, Jan was located and eliminated by special forces in Khyber Agency, along with six unidentified high-value targets, in a covert hideout operation. Umar Mansoor was eliminated in a U.S. drone strike on July 13, 2016, in the eastern Afghan province of Nangarhar, along with three of his bodyguards and Qari Saifullah. - Terrorists Involved in the APS Incident: - Abu Shamil Alias Abdur Rehman (A Chechen fighter) - Nouman Shah Helmand (An Afghan citizen from Helmand, with the U.S. offering a $500,000 bounty for his capture.) - Wazir Alam Herat (An Afghan citizen from Herat) - Khatib al-Zubaidi (An Egyptian citizen) - Mohammad Zahedi (A Moroccan citizen) - Jibran al-Saeedi (A Saudi citizen)show more

❗️❗️🇺🇸🇮🇱🚀🇮🇷 The United States is reportedly preparing a new... large-scale military operation against Iran, with multiple major American media outlets indicating that an intensive air campaign could begin as early as this weekend. 🔹 The Wall Street Journal: President Donald Trump has ordered the U.S. military to prepare a new attack on Iran that could begin this weekend and continue for several days. 🔹 ABC News: Trump is considering a sustained series of strikes against Iran's energy infrastructure. According to another source, the plans were discussed with Israeli officials, although it remains unclear whether Israel will directly participate. 🔹 NBC News: The United States and Israel are reportedly preparing what could become the most extensive bombing campaign yet against Iran's energy infrastructure, with operations potentially lasting throughout the weekend. 🔹 CNN: The U.S. has prepared plans for a new wave of strikes that could begin this weekend, including options targeting Iran's nuclear and energy infrastructure. According to the network, there are currently no clear indications that Israel will participate directly in this phase of the operation. 🔹 CBS News: Israeli officials have been fully briefed and remain in close coordination with Washington. Sources say discussions included completing the expanded strike campaign before financial markets reopen on Monday due to concerns over its potential impact on the U.S. and global economy. According to two U.S. officials, Iranian power plants and oil refineries are expected to be among the primary targets. A senior Israeli official also said that Trump and Netanyahu reviewed three military options, including strikes focused on Iran's strategic ground supply routes. The convergence of reporting from several major U.S. media outlets suggests that Washington is actively preparing options for a significantly broader campaign than previous operations. If such strikes are carried out, they would likely mark a major escalation aimed at degrading Iran's military and economic infrastructure while substantially increasing the risk of a wider regional confrontation.

Hindustan 🇮🇳 has produced a documentary called Declassified that... declassifies no evidence capable of settling the disputed claims: no target files, radar tracks, mission logs or aircraft-loss ledger: only official voices, selective footage and cinematic reconstruction. To Bharati 🇮🇳 readers: set aside every Pakistani 🇵🇰 claim. Your own record is enough. Pahalgam: GoI says the alleged gunmen were killed on 28 July - 82 days after the 7 May strikes. The film cannot convert the assertion that their “masters” were hit into proof that those targets were responsible for Pahalgam. Losses: CDS Gen Anil Chauhan admitted that Indian aircraft were downed. Reuters cited US 🇺🇸 officials saying at least two fell, including a #Rafale; France’s Air Chief said evidence indicated three. A “100% successful” account that omits its acknowledged opening losses is anything but declassified history. Delhi: The sensational “missile aimed at Delhi” story surfaced over a year later through a commentator. India’s contemporaneous MoD account identified airbases, ammunition depots, airports and cantonments rather than Delhi. No trajectory, sensor log or interception data is shown. “No answer”: Hindustan’s 🇮🇳 own briefings recorded Pakistani missile and drone attacks across numerous military sites. Bharat 🇮🇳 neither compelled Pakistan 🇵🇰 to absorb the first strike nor prevented retaliation. Pakistan accepted no Indian “new normal”. Victory: India’s 10 May statement says both sides agreed to stop military action. The documentary itself brings Rubio into the story; Washington publicly called it a US-brokered ceasefire. An agreed cessation, reached after urgent US Donald J. Trump intervention, can’t be repackaged as Bharati 🇮🇳 victory, much less Pakistani 🇵🇰 capitulation. Even if every claimed Hindustani 🇮🇳 weapon struck its assigned coordinate, success is measured by whether the adversary’s behaviour changed. Even Donald J. Trump continues to remind Hindustan 🇮🇳 of the aircraft losses and the US 🇺🇸 role in ending the conflict! Pakistan 🇵🇰 retaliated, imposed costs and conceded nothing. Bharat 🇮🇳 attempted compellence. Pakistan 🇵🇰 restored deterrence. That is the whole board. Cinema can edit footage. It cannot edit strategic outcomes. #MarkaEHaq #OperationSindoor Discovery Channel India Nitin A.

#ISPR – Rawalpindi, May 2, 2025 Chief of Army... Staff (COAS), General Syed Asim Munir, Nishan-e-Imtiaz (Military), chaired a special Corps Commanders Conference held at the General Headquarters (GHQ) today. The forum conducted a comprehensive review of the current geo-strategic environment, with particular focus on the ongoing tensions between Pakistan and India and the overall regional security situation. The forum reaffirmed that the Armed Forces of Pakistan stand ready with full force against any form of aggression or adventurism to defend the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the motherland. The Army Chief praised the professionalism, high morale, and operational preparedness of the armed forces, emphasizing that the Pakistan Army stands shoulder to shoulder with its nation and will defend the country at all costs. He stressed the importance of vigilance and preemptive readiness on all fronts. The forum expressed serious concern over the recent intensification of atrocities in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), especially following the Pahalgam incident, and the targeting of innocent civilians across the Line of Control (LoC). It stated clearly that such inhumane and unprovoked acts only escalate tensions in the region and will be met with a clear, forceful, and appropriate response. The forum also strongly criticized India's continued use of crises as a distraction from its internal failures and its repeated unilateral actions to manipulate the situation. It recalled how the Pulwama incident in 2019 was used as a pretext to revoke Article 370 and change the status of Occupied Kashmir. Similarly, the Pahalgam incident appears to be another calculated move by India aimed at diverting Pakistan’s focus from its western front—where it is achieving significant success against terrorism—and from its efforts toward economic recovery. These tactics, intended to provide breathing space to Indian proxies, will never succeed. The forum also expressed grave concern that India is now using the Pahalgam incident as an excuse to undermine the Indus Waters Treaty and attempt to deprive Pakistan of its inalienable water rights. Using water as a weapon threatens the survival of over 240 million Pakistanis and could lead to strategic instability in South Asia. It was also emphasized that India’s military and intelligence agencies are directly involved in terrorist incidents inside Pakistan. Such state-sponsored actions are a blatant violation of international law and are unacceptable in any civilized society. The forum reiterated Pakistan’s firm commitment to peace, stability, and development, while making it clear that any attempt to impose war will be met with a decisive and crushing response. The will of the Pakistani people will be upheld at all costs, God willing. The forum concluded by stating unequivocally that Pakistan's path to peace and development cannot be blocked by terrorism, coercion, or aggression—whether direct or through proxies. All Indian efforts to destabilize the region will be thwarted with determination and foresight. The conference concluded with the Army Chief expressing full confidence in the operational preparedness, defensive capabilities, and high morale of Pakistan’s armed forces, sending a clear message to the nation that Pakistan is fully prepared to confront any enemy at every level.show more

Most will claim that Eye 👁️ of Providence represents... God; while in reality it is just one of many symbols of the Pindar found on the dollar. The Pindar is the reptilian overlord who orchestrates global events from the shadows. The term "Pindar" itself is believed to be derived from ancient texts, suggesting a figure of immense power, though not explicitly linked to any individual by name in these original sources. In these narratives, Pindar is considered the apex of a supposed reptilian hierarchy, residing in secretive underground locations and influencing world affairs to benefit a hidden reptilian agenda. Theories surrounding Pindar often intertwine with claims that influential families like the Rothschilds or even members of the British Royal Family might be part of this clandestine reptilian lineage, manipulating human society for their own ends. This concept has captured the imagination of theorists who see it as an explanation for perceived global power structures and unexplained phenomena.show more

❗️⚡️🇪🇸🇵🇹🇫🇷🇦🇩 - On April 28, 2025, a significant power... outage continues to affect Spain, Portugal, Andorra, and parts of France, with no immediate resolution in sight. The blackout has disrupted electricity supply in major cities, including Madrid, Valencia, and Barcelona, as well as communication networks, impacting internet and mobile services across the affected regions. Government authorities have not yet issued an official statement, though Spain’s Ministry of the Interior has urged the public to remain calm while investigations are underway. Preliminary reports suggest the outage may stem from a failure in the interconnected European power grid, potentially exacerbated by recent high demand and integration challenges with renewable energy sources. Energy experts note that the European Network of Transmission System Operators (ENTSO-E) is working to stabilize the grid and restore full service. Social media reports indicate growing public concern, with users highlighting disruptions to daily activities and businesses. Authorities are prioritizing critical infrastructure, such as hospitals and emergency services, to mitigate the impact while a coordinated response is developed.show more

Respect according to Trump: when hegemony becomes a mirage... By Brainless Partisans 🏴☠️☢️☣️🪆 "We are a country that is more respected than we have ever been respected before." This is Donald Trump's solemn proclamation about the war against Iran. A phrase that sounds like a declaration of imperial self-satisfaction... except that on the ground in the Middle East, "respect" increasingly resembles a mixture of anxiety, mistrust, and strategic calculation. Because if we listen to the Gulf capitals, the problem is no longer Iran. The problem is America. First, there is the question of protection. For decades, the oil monarchies have lived under the American security umbrella. Military bases, a fleet in the Gulf, missile defense: the implicit contract was simple, Washington protects, the oil monarchies align their interests. But the current war has cracked that pact. Iranian strikes against facilities in the region, including sites linked to the American military presence, have been a brutal reminder that these states remain exposed despite the American arsenal. As a result, even the most loyal allies are beginning to have doubts. According to several analyses cited by Foreign Policy, the Gulf monarchies are "questioning Washington's ability and willingness to guarantee their security" after the Iranian attacks. Diplomatic translation: the American bodyguard may not be as reliable as its press conference claims. Then there is the geopolitical reality that no one is saying too loudly: this war increasingly looks like a war waged by Israel with US military power. The Gulf states do not want to participate in a prolonged campaign against Tehran or serve as a platform for escalation. Several governments have made it clear that they do not want their territory or airspace to be used to attack Iran. In other words: thanks for the military bases, but you're on your own when it comes to war. Finally, there is the factor that is most damaging to the American image: the unintended demonstration of vulnerability. Iran obviously cannot compete with American military power. But it can strike where it hurts: scattered bases, energy infrastructure, the Strait of Hormuz. Since the escalation began, drone and missile attacks and the disruption of maritime traffic have shown that even the world's most powerful military empire cannot completely secure the region. It is precisely this type of asymmetric warfare that erodes the influence of a superpower. Iran does not need to win militarily; it only needs to demonstrate that American hegemony is no longer unchallenged. And this is where Trump's statement becomes almost comical. Because in the history of international relations, respect is not proclaimed. It is observed. When allies start looking for assurances elsewhere, towards China, Russia, or regional arrangements, that is not respect. It is a survival strategy in an international system where the Pax Americana increasingly resembles a museum relic. Trump believes that war proves American power. In much of the Middle East, it proves something else: that even empires have cracks. And that sometimes, the adversary does not even need to widen them. It is enough that they are visible.show more

Mahjoub Brigade Video, Disinformation, and Verified Updates on the... Death of Saif Al Islam Gaddafi Libyan media and sources close to the Gaddafi family have formally confirmed the death of Saif al Islam Gaddafi سيف الإسلام معمر القذافي following a targeted armed attack near the city of Zintan. The incident is reported to have occurred between 2:00 and 3:00 p.m. local time, though no official state statement has confirmed the exact timing. The same sources reported that Mohammed, the son of Saif's bodyguard from the Zintan Battalion, Colonel Al Ajmi Al Atiri, was wounded or killed during the incident. They also categorically denied reports claiming the killing of Colonel Al Ajmi Al Atiri, stating that such claims are false. According to a video report circulated by individuals close to the family, Saif Al Islam’s body was transferred to a rural hospital in Al Rujban, Libya, after his death. This information has not been independently verified by official authorities. Separately, the al Mahjoub Brigade released a video showing what it described as celebrations in Misrata following news of Saif Al Islam’s killing. The video circulated widely online but did not include any claim of responsibility or evidence linking the brigade to the attack itself. The al Mahjoub Brigade is a Misrata based armed group formed in 2011 that participated in major post 2011 conflicts. It is not formally affiliated with the Libyan state. Analysts note that while the brigade has influence during wartime, public reactions or celebratory messaging do not indicate operational involvement in the killing. Libyan analysts and media outlets emphasized that many individuals and factions linked to the February 17 revolution maintain longstanding grievances against the Gaddafi family and against what Saif Al Islam represented politically. Expressions of approval or celebration reflect political hostility rather than proof of participation in the attack. In parallel, viral images circulated online claiming to show Saif Al Islam’s body next to soldiers wearing Unit 444 insignia, as well as images depicting him in an intensive care unit. Libyan journalists and fact checkers confirmed that both sets of images are fake and AI generated. Unit 444 officially denied any involvement and stated that it has no connection to the incident. Security sources continue to confirm that there is no evidence of large scale military mobilization or clashes linked to the killing. Local authorities in Zintan reported no unusual troop movements or fighting in the area at the time of the incident. As of now, no group has claimed responsibility. The identities of the four attackers who disabled communications and CCTV at Saif’s residence remain unknown. The method of access and the extent of planning behind the operation have not been verified. Authorities and media outlets say investigations are ongoing and caution that information should be treated carefully until official findings are released. Based on past patterns in Libya, many observers believe the case is likely to be closed without accountability, leaving the attackers unidentified and adding another unresolved killing to the country’s long list of disappearances and unsolved cases.show more

The silent Gulf: local monarchies paralyzed under Iran’s shadow... Since Iran launched strikes on US bases within their borders, the Gulf monarchies have failed to muster even a coherent diplomatic response. As Tehran raised the stakes—targeting the region’s strategic oil and gas infrastructure—the sheikhdoms have remained utterly passive. Here's why they are powerless to push back: 🔴 The failed American umbrella: the Gulf states outsourced their security to the US, hosting foreign bases because their own militaries were no match for their neighbors. That bet has now backfired spectacularly. 🔴Trapped between giants: Washington’s failures have not only jeopardized critical energy facilities but have left the monarchies exposed. Iran has made it clear: any US attack launched from Arab soil will be met with retaliation against them. They are hostages in their own territory. 🔴 The only leverage is de-escalation: with no military option and no diplomatic card to play, their only move is to plead with Iran and demand Washington stand down. An attack on Gulf oil—or Qatar’s gas—is an attack on their economic survival. Strikes on Dubai’s airport or its superport can paralyze logistics across one of Asia’s most vital hubs. 🔴 The high cost of bluster: the monarchies understand that any public bravado against Tehran will only invite more attacks. Already powerless, they cannot afford further escalation. For them, silence isn’t a choice but the only thing standing between the current crisis and total chaos. © Geoprimeshow more

What if any preparations have you seen Iran make... ahead of the war? Can you discuss It’s missile capabilities? Any intelligence capabilities? Any surprises it might happen in store? When the 12-day war ended, I estimated that Iran would need about six months to recover, including its nuclear program. Contrary to popular belief, Iran did not lose its entire long-range or medium-range air defense network; while some launchers were damaged, the primary targets of the Israeli strikes were the radar systems. Once the radars were neutralized, Iran successfully hid the bulk of its remaining batteries, leaving much of its arsenal intact. In contrast, short-range systems like the Tor-M1 and domestic variants were heavily engaged against cruise missiles, often being lost or damaged only after their ammunition was completely exhausted. Since then, Iran has worked to rebuild its destroyed radar network and, above all, to implement a genuine counterintelligence doctrine. The Mossad operations against Iranian radars and air defense systems have shaped new perimeter defense and counterintelligence doctrines not only in Iran but in other countries as well. If we look at the quantity of weapons and the organization of armed groups during Iran’s most recent protests, I would say the problem of foreign intelligence operations inside the country remains severe. This seriously threatens much of Iran’s capabilities, and I foresee a wave of sabotage operations as a new war draws closer. Iran has begun receiving collaboration from China across multiple areas,from satellites to internal counterintelligence, but it may still take some time for this to produce tangible results. During the last years, the Mossad relied heavily on cell phones, using SMS for recruitment and accessing device GPS for target location. Iran has since focused intensely on preventing any repetition of this, and on this specific issue, the Chinese appear to have provided support. Although foreign intelligence services have operated extensively inside Iran, the scale of any armed opposition groups is negligible compared to the Iranian armed forces, which could still draw on allied paramilitaries and militias in neighboring countries, including the Houthis. Iran has become a missile power with a stockpile far larger than Western estimates suggest. As early as 1998, Iran was already producing missiles with ranges exceeding 1,000 km, and it has continued doing so ever since, developing 12 to 15 different models in that range - meaning all are capable of reaching Israel. That is nearly 30 years of continuous missile production, resulting in a stockpile of several thousands. Another area where Iran has emerged as a global power is drones, including underwater ones. Iran’s UUVs have evolved rapidly into mass-produced models with integrated AI, and I believe they hold some major surprises in reserve. A key point today is that the AN/TPY-2 radars, which played a critical role in tracking Iranian missiles, would be among the first targets to be engaged. These high-powered X-band radars are the backbone of regional missile defense, providing essential data to THAAD and Patriot batteries. However, because they are large, stationary, and emit high-energy signals, they are highly vulnerable to a first-strike or saturation attack, which would effectively 'blind' the entire defensive network. Obviously, a defense budget of nearly one trillion dollars cannot be compared to Iran’s, but the real question is whether the cost and effort are worth the potential casualties. Even without Israel, the Americans maintain an immense advantage in aerial operations over Iran; however, as I have stated before, this superiority does not translate to the maritime theater.show more
