Rampage supersonic missile used on Iran

[Snagglefoot]

Not at all, I was surprised that the thread in the first place isn’t controversial to the moderation.

I used a word pronounced the same as a beavers home the other day and was reprimanded that it’s profanity and my post was removed…. Surprised politically loaded things like war and missiles and Iran/israel conflict isn’t considered off limits.

Military technology is fine as are handguns.

Sweet, good to know

Iran ( who also attacked the Iraqi nuclear site before Israel destroyed it ) learned what happens if you don’t hide your nuke capability underground.

It’s too late to stop them.

Yep. That train has left the station few years ago.

Would Iran use a nuke if they had it?

Two reasons I think not at this time...

First if you deploy your only nuke then you no longer a have a nuclear
arsenal... your enemy Israel still has 90 Nukes to strike back...

Second there is the "No-First-Use" agreement all the other nuclear powers
seem to abide by... go first and you go alone... (actually you would be second)...

In July 1945, the United States conducted the first nuclear test, and
one month later became the first and only country to use nuclear
weapons in war. The U.S. currently maintains one of the world's
largest nuclear arsenals with a triad of delivery systems.

That's rational thinking.

Interesting that they had to note that the missile was "SUPERSONIC"..........

WOW they Russians \ Iranians dont have them!

And RAMPAGE! That must be ultra deadly in comparison to 30 year old missiles that we already have.

What an eye opener.

Reminds me of the media's use of HIMARS in Ukraine................like it was the greatest thing of all time=worthless.

Would Iran use a nuke if they had it?

No. No country will. Crazy person, maybe. It is a game they play. The nuclear threat, radiation, and so on. New Fusion bombs have the same radioactivity as the original fatman.

It has been said that:

"Nuclear war is like two men knee deep in gasoline, one man has three matches, and the other has five".

1, 90, 10000, all the same/

1, 90, 10000, all the same/

Negative... death and destruction are not the same...

1 nuke may kill 583,600 men women and children...

90 nukes may kill 22 million 824,000 men women and children...

Ok. 1, 90 or 10000, the result will be the same.

I am not sure it was unsuccessful.

We’ve gone from discussing weapons, and tactics, to discussing government actions. And that’s politics.
