@johnpaulpaumbo @ExNewsHD IR missiles have the limitation of short ranges (ofcourse, the missile needs enough heat to actually lock). In 99 percent of combat scenarios, a F-35 won't be flying as low and close to the enemy as it was there, it'd be used in a standoff role. So, it would be practically immune

@ExNewsHD It’s not clear to me why any nation wants to own this very expensive compromised plane, especially now that it can be brought down by heat seeking missles.

“Shocking revelations from a former executive at Lockheed Martin, the company that manufactures the F-35 fighter jets.” Nalan Yazgan, a Turkish engineer who previously worked as an executive director on an F-35 project at Lockheed Martin, made notable statements regarding the F-35 aircraft: “If Turkey had obtained F-35 jets, we wouldn’t have even been able to take off with them due to the software. In fact, we shouldn’t have taken off with them at all.” “The F-35 transmits information about all military assets within a certain radius instantly and in real time to the United States and Israel.” It is also mentioned that some Turkish engineers involved in the project say that if Washington decides to cut off connectivity or updates to a country, the aircraft would literally turn into ‘a piece of metal,’ unable to carry out combat missions or even routine maintenance.”

@RelentlessMynd @clashreport Patriots aren't used to intercept Shaheds AIM-120s and AIM 9s from planes are normally used, or systems like APKWS, or even C-RAM on the ground

@clashreport Shaheds $30k each Patriot interceptors: $4M a pop Yeah, that math checks out. Iran just found the cheat code

U.S. officials told Congress that Iran’s Shahed drones are a major challenge and air defenses “will not be able to intercept them all.” Lawmakers also warned the conflict could become a “math problem” as interceptor stocks run low. Sen. Mark Kelly said “we do not have an unlimited supply,” while officials acknowledged the drones are “posing a bigger problem than anticipated.” Source: CNN

@chribjel I use a lot of Gemini 3 Flash for math, it gets the job done in problems that Claude struggles with (not Opus). ChatGPT also does really well, but takes too long

again gemini is topping every benchmark, but still nobody actually uses it

@cdromer @zhao_dashuai true but it's still fair to say that the vast majority are getting intercepted the ones getting through are a minority

@Vector2XY @zhao_dashuai tbf seems more than one getting through.

Hey look at how the Patriot fails to intercept one Iranian missile.😆 Dimwits like you don't even have evidence of Iran operating Chinese radars or air defense missiles. But that doesn't stop you from spewing nonsense.

@spiggzy @visegrad24 No. Air resistance exists. While true, that a Zircon could hit Mach 8+ speeds at some point in flight, this is certainly not true in the terminal phase. Any and all missiles, without the propulsion will be slowing down and will be much slower than their max speeds when arriving

That's not the point. There is clearly something arriving and something intercepting. The intercepting thing is moving visibly much faster than the arriving thing. Compare the speed of the intercepting thing to the speed of the arriving thing (not direction, that is irrelevant) and you will see that whatever is arriving can't be a Zircon. If it were a Zircon, the speed profile would be inverted. The arriving thing would be moving far faster then the intercepting thing. The interception could still happen, I'm not disputing that at all. My only point is that it is not a Zircon. That is all.

A Patriot air-defense system successfully intercepted a Russian "Zircon" hypersonic missile over Kyiv

@thewarhead00007 @visegrad24 No, the missile LEADs the Zircon to intercept it. This way, the interceptors speed doesn't necessarily matter, it can simply predict where a Zircon will be and hit it there.

@visegrad24 Fake vidoe since patriot missiles travel that fast, Zircon missile is 2 times faster.

@spiggzy @visegrad24 Kalibrs don't follow a ballistic trajectory and dive down on targets like that. Speed of the interceptor does not matter, it leads the target, doesn't chase it. An interceptor doing mach 1, or slower could also pull off this intercept. It's all about the maths and precision

@visegrad24 Anyone with a brain can tell this is total bullshit. Modern PAC-3 interceptor travels at about 6000kmh. A Zircon travels at around 10000kmh. The interceptor is travelling at around twice the speed of the target at the moment of impact. It's probably a Kalibr.

@JimmySecUK This is similar to his diversions with Venezuela before strikes. There is far too much military movement in that region, for him to do nothing - I think there will be strikes at some point.

None of this is true. If this means Trump is abandoning promised support for Iranian pro-democracy protestors, it will be a historic betrayal.

@DTochinskiy @WSJ Russia started this war. Simple. Blame it, not Ukraine.

@WSJ Now you are talking, should have thought about that before starting and fueling this war.

When the war eventually ends, Ukraine will be left with Europe’s largest and most experienced armed forces. What happens to this military is an essential question for the continent. on.wsj.com/4q7rO5A

@the_lgbtrash @baoshaoshan @josephwutw @UN This is only because of Chinese tears, that the UN has been forced to pander to them

@Vector2XY @baoshaoshan @josephwutw @UN According to the UN, Taiwan belongs to China, so it's not a sovereign nation. Whether or not you agree is irrelevant. That is the UN's current position.

The #PRC is conducting a large-scale joint military exercise targeted at #Taiwan. It has also designated areas for live-fire tests. It’s an act of escalation, threatens regional peace, & violates the basic principles embedded in the @UN Charter. #China is such a troublemaker.

@arunpudur @TaiwanFreedom89 @narendramodi This is stupid. He has every right to be calling out Modis hypocrisy when it comes to this

@TaiwanFreedom89 @narendramodi Don't fuck with Indians bro, we are a handful of nations who support Taiwan. When CCP fucks with your nation, US will leave you just like Ukriane. Don't piss off goodwill for some useless reach.

Deeply concerned by reports of the targeting of the residence of the President of the Russian Federation. Ongoing diplomatic efforts offer the most viable path toward ending hostilities and achieving peace. We urge all concerned to remain focused on these efforts and to avoid any actions that could undermine them. @KremlinRussia_E

@multiverseguy7 @TaiwanFreedom89 @narendramodi Pointing out hypocrisy is a reason his country shouldn't exist?

@baoshaoshan @josephwutw @UN Is this really "protecting its national sovereignty", or is it threatening another sovereign nation for imperialistic ambitions?

@josephwutw @UN When it’s protecting its national sovereignty it’s entirely consistent with the UN Charter. What on earth are you talking about?

@GroyperJokic @jacksonhinklle I don't think them being homogenous has anything to do with their level of advancement It comes down to the cultural emphasis on education, and how it's not neglected unlike in the West

@jacksonhinklle They have very few black and brown people, very homogeneous.

🚨🇨🇳 If Communism doesn't work, then why is China more advanced than the West?

@hayasaka_aryan You're Mexican dude 😭 The Hitler glaze is crazy considering he'd probably want what happened to Anne Frank to happen to you

@InglesaAlfonso @KayBurley Said.. Nobody ever?? London is one of the most respected and liked cities universally, no reason to call it a dump

@KayBurley London is an immigrant-riddled shithole and you're a dogshit journalist

London’s falling. There are wild animals climbing up the outside of buildings and everything

@Kanatunga @visegrad24 Considering the original objective was to march into Kyiv and replace Zelensky with a pro RU puppet, they've clearly failed. Fyi, if a snail had set off at the start of the war, it would be ahead of the Russian army right now

@visegrad24 Ukraine still has lost 28% of it's land mass. For all practical purposes, Russia has achieved it's objectives.

BREAKING: The Ukrainian Army has taken Kupyansk

@Panchenko_X What do you expect someone to do, after his country has seen so much destruction over the last few years, just because of the one man?

Zelensky said on Christmas Day that he wished Putin were dead. He called it the dream of all Ukrainians. Don’t think all Ukrainians are godless like Zelensky. We are ashamed of him. It’s clear how much he really “wants” peace. He’s doing everything he can to disrupt Trump’s peace plan.

@Gam3rN3rd3ss @WBML8TH I think it's a lot worse than an insult lmao You're standing with an ideology responsible for the killings of millions, including women and children for no other reason except their background
