 All / By Theodore A. Postol
    EXCERPT FROM AN EMAIL WRITTEN IN RESPONSE TO A REQUEST FROM A FRIEND ASKING FOR HIS ASTUTE ANALYSIS OF IRAN’S DRONE AND MISSILE ATTACK ON ISRAEL. Theodore Postol is Professor of Science, Technology and National Security Policy in the Program in Science, Technology, and Society at MIT. I apologize for not getting back to you...
  • As any objective observers would be well aware, Scott Ritter has provided excellent analysis on the Ukraine proxy war and subsequent geopolitical events in recent years.

    The video below, where he appears on Jimmy Dore’s show, is one of his best.
    It’s well worth watching in its entirety (watch the first 10 mins at least if you’re pressed for time, because it’s just saturated with pearls and priceless insights):

    Video Link

    In it he explains in simple terms why the Iranian missile attacks on the Apartheid Israeli state were a stupendous victory for Iran and why there will be no large scale attack on Iran by the Israeli misfits and the rest of the Anglo Zionist empire.
    It shows how Israel’s Iron Dome is useless and that superior Iranian technology ensured that most of their missiles got through and struck their intended targets.

    Summary: The Apartheid Israeli state is done for.
    There is nothing that the small hats (or their American lackeys) can do to prevent the Iranians from turning Occupied Palestine into smouldering rubble, should Iran wish to do so.

    The U.S and the small hats are unable to attack Iran successfully. Should they be so stupid and reckless to embark on such a foolish action, they’d suffer such horrific losses in the early stages of their campaign, that they’d pull out and retreat with their tails between their legs shortly thereafter.

    It would make the debacles in Vietnam and Afghanistan look like strategic victories in relative terms, so badly would the Anglo Zionist empire be mauled in such a non-nuclear confrontation.

    Wagner is saying it was Buryats who killed Russell, basically a Mongolian ethnic mob. It is unflattering to have Shoigu’s diversity mob murder a prominent pro Russian American and then try to do a cover up. Normally I am ok with ethnic northeast asians, but the dynamic is different with these types in the Russian federation. Their being Muslims maybe is why they are undesirables.

    The Rus Slav’s are being besieged by die-versity in their midst. You have the Jew Krain ethnic mob using their finance capital to indebt and kill Ukrainians, and also steal their land.

    Then in Russia you have the spook state allowing infiltration of Tuvans, and Buryats into the Donbass regions. Not to mention Muslims building mosques everywhere.

    Putin is no Hitler, but maybe he is at a time in his life, where stepping it up is advised. Your job as a statesman is to protect your people, and the Rus have it in them to protect themselves and don’t need ethnic mobs to live amongst them.

    As I read it the Green Pine radar is used for both the Arrow2 and 3

    The Green Pine radar -


    it demonstrates a capability to detect targets at ranges of up to approximately 500 km (310 mi) while simultaneously tracking more than 30 targets, even those moving at speeds exceeding 3,000 m/s (10,000 ft/s). The radar not only illuminates the target but also guides the Arrow missile with remarkable precision, bringing it within a mere 4 meters of the intended target.
     
    Something is amiss here. Arrow 3 is an exoatmospheric interceptor, from wiki ... ICBM

    The apogee (halfway through the midcourse phase) is at an altitude of approximately 1,200 km (750 mi).
     
    Thus the radar cannot even detect an ICBM for most of its flight, much less track it.

    The idea that an exoatmospheric interceptor uses only a ground based radar is, IMHO, absurd.

    I worked on this very problem 40 yrs ago! but ... can't remember a damned thing. And of course, the interceptor had a homing radar. Even a Sidewinder has a homing sensor. The idea that the Arrow 2 and 3 don't have homing sensors of some type I believe is absurd.

    The technical details are interesting, and I have to admit I can't remember anything .... for example .. a radar sends out a pulse, and listens for its return .... by timing the return it can estimate distance to target, but how does it estimate direction ???, i.e. the pulse wave spreads out so all targets in a cone of some dimension will reflect the pulse, so.. how accurate is the direction estimate?

    I just Bing AI'd how does a radar determing direction given pulse spread ... as I realized I didn't know that and I know I didn't incorporate it into my model way back when (but, I was modeling a targeting radar so the signal spread might be negligible at close range?), i.e. I assumed the direction the antenna was pointing was the target direction. The answer: it has to scan the target and the direction where the return is strongest is the direction, but then, you have to scan twice, up and down, then left and right, and the target is moving at Mach 20 ... That is the idea of a ground base targeting radar is absurd.

    My view is the USA dropping out of the Anti-ballistic missile (ABM) treaty is a crucial factor behind the war in Ukraine. Russian military motivations cannot be fully appreciated without understanding this point.

    The relevance of ABM to Ukraine is not so much that the USA can put missiles in Ukraine. They probably would do so (because the Ukies are stupid enough to allow it) but the big picture issues are even worse. The big picture about dropping the ABM treaty is that it shows western intent to destroy Russia at any cost. Gone are the days of treaties for mutual benefit and subtle diplomatic maneuvering designed to keep a balance of power as we mutually work to undo the nuclear terror arms race. After the star wars era, some leaders in the West believed that we can hold the upper hand in a nuclear conflict.

    It seems the Russian Poseidon “doomsday weapon” was created specifically as a result of morons who believe missile defenses can save them.

    Historically I don’t think the typical US citizen ever had any real angst against Russia. There was some anger against communism and scientific atheism from 1940-1980. The contemporary manufactured anger at Russia always strikes me as very un-American. It seems more like UK/France revival of the Great game or simply Jewish petulance. The Jewish elite view seems to be they hate Russia (both the Orthodox/Czarist aspect or just the Russian psyche in general) and want to either control it or destroy it, preferably both! This hatred is very strange and seems primeval.

    For Saggy:

    Radars can get direction information on every pulse. One method is to compare the returned energy of left/right and top/bottom parts of the beam. When these are all the same the target is centered in the beam. This information can be used in a control loop which means the target position is known.

    It is unrealistic to expect accurate public information on topics related to nuclear defense such as ABM radar capabilities. On the other hand, it is possible to simply infer the range of a radar if you know the size of the antenna/array and power so the published information may be legit. This assumes a specific target radar cross-section (~size). I wonder if Israel uses real-time missile tracking information from Western satellites?

    Could you provide this book’s reference ?
     
    Stalin revealed his thoughts on the national question in his work, "Marxism and the National Question." Remember, the Bolsheviks were Jewish internationalists, taking their usury pay from their cousins in London and Wall Street.

    Stalin writes that the Russian question is a question of uniting all nations. Culture is socialist in content and national in form.

    The Russian (Rus= Aryan) are the leading force in the inter-ethnic community, but they are not the master people.

    Stalin, even though he was a Georgian came to this conclusion by the end of the war, as it was the RUS, who did the heavy lifting. Meanwhile, Jews were shirking duty, and on-selling Russian goods into the far east. The merchant cannot help himself. This of course sickened Stalin, whose views came around to the national question.

    Stalin also supported racial studies in the Rus regions, feeling this would build up Russian pride, and thus weaken the Jews.

    The Ind0-European Aryan people likely spread out from the southern Russia-Ukraine regions; this occurred likely after the gene for lactose tolerance became prevalent. The Aryans farmed animals, they did not farm grain. The Neanderthal's did hand to hand combat with large ice-age animals, and hence are much more aggressive and were not "good shepherds" or civilizational bearers despite their claiming that mantle.

    Goebbels could not understand why the Nazi's and Rus were battling, as they had much in common. Hitler totally screwed up by not "liberating" but instead conquering. Putin in spreading his Nazi and Great War propaganda is also screwing up, when it would be better to just tell the truth.

    What is that truth, that the jews are out to get him for going “off the reservation?” You do realize that the jews will then go full bore in calling Putin the new Hitler, and all the Holocaust-propagandized mindless hordes will then help them wipe Russia out.

    You cannot tell the truth when your enemy controls the media, as they will just say Putin hates the jews “for no reason,” and leave out all the jew crimes that he enumerates.

    No, the best bet is what is currently happening, the implosion from internal contradictions of the jews genociding Gaza then demanding the US support them:

    Video Link

    In the medium-term, only after the legacy media has been destroyed and completely replaced with impartial, independent online media can you start telling the truth to the masses. Tucker Carlson interviewing Putin and only making it available online was a big step in that direction.

    The Arrow system (missiles and radars) has always seemed to be three parts American Spartan/Sprint/Safeguard technology and one part Soviet ex-pat ABM engineering. The Russians have always placed more emphasis on a multilayered missile defense system; the Israelis have such a system. I believe the US worked on the Arrow system when it was politically inconvenient to work on our own systems due to the ABM treaty. This constraint went away entirely when the US dropped out of the treaty by 2002.

    Odd, the Janes report said that all the missiles that made it thru were 'ballistic missiles'. But then again it referred to the maneuverability of at least some of the missiles. I just checked (Bing AI) and hypersonic missiles are maneuverable, ballistic missiles are not. My guess is the Janes guy was wrong!!!

    Note: ICMBs, IRBMs, etc., are 'hypersonic' in that they go fast, way faster than hypersonic missiles, but ballistic missiles like ICBMs are not referred to as hypersonic missiles, because they follow a different type of trajectory, a 'ballistic' trajectory, like a thrown ball, after the boost phase. The new hypersonic missiles have an altogether different trajectory, a rocket powered boost phase followed by a long jet powered glide phase, and are maneuverable. And for that reason present an entirely new set of problems for missile defense, probably unsolvable.

    Cruise missiles are slow.

    Replies: @QCIC

    To clarify, two different types of weapons are often mixed together:

    Hypersonic cruise missiles and
    Maneuvering ballistic missies.

    The USA and USSR were pursuing both of these technologies before the fall of the Soviet Union. At that point the US slowed development and focussed on bombing goat herders. After the US started dropping out of nuclear weapons treaties and expanding NATO Russia revived or accelerated her development efforts on a very limited budget.

    There is little new about drone technology except a non-military price point and progressive miniaturization. They fit into missile warfare as a low cost way to jam or confuse the expensive radars which are supposed to be shooting down the high performance missiles. When AI is applied to drones that will be new, since it will free them from limitations due to communications links which may be unreliable. In a real war, low-cost microsatellites inspired by commercial “Cubesats” will probably play a similar role in orbital warfare.

    If Putin shoots his nuke missiles at the USA, I would expect that most would be shot down. Some will get through. But a lot more of ours will then hit Russia, making large parts of Russia unlivable for decades or longer.

    Russia's population is concentrated in two cities that can be completely obliterated by a single submarine. No survivors whatsoever or usable infrastructure within a 25 mile radius. The Russian state would not be able to function and areas like Siberia and Chechnya would become their own countries. This is in part why Putin's claims of "nuke towers on the border" were complete horse shit. NATO no longer builds nuke towers and also didn't stick them in the Baltics. If they had an actual media he would be called out on his lies but they are of course a totalitarian state where humiliating Putin on television will get you prison time or worse.

    The anger management dwarf was just making up a threat to justify yet another Russian invasion of a neighbor. They have never gone 50 years without trying to invade someone.

    I would also point out that Putin cannot launch a nuke on his own. They have a similar system where two or three people have to turn a key at once.

    The FSB supposedly has a secret protocol where they can kill the president if they think he will start a nuclear war. A supposed leftover from KGB days. Makes sense and the CIA probably has one as well.

    If Putin decides to cheat he won't go for the nukes. He would probably use chems like they did in Syria.

    NATO also gave him a warning of what would happen if he used a tactical. It was not made public but there is clearly some type of plan for conventional retribution if he goes that route.

    Replies: @QCIC

    The concentration of Russian civilization in Moscow and Saint Petersburg (and Kiev) is surely a major factor in their nuclear posture. This has been obvious at least since the early 1970’s when Russia put their anti-ballistic missile site near Moscow while the USA put our site in North Dakota. The Moscow site is still operational and probably supported by many other intercepters. If someone nukes a major American city it is a catastrophe, but does not represent destruction of our heritage, which historically came from London anyway. Many people would consider the loss of New York or Washington, DC. to be a blessing except for the loss of life. I think this fundamental difference is one factor behind Russian development of the Poseidon and Burevestnik “doomsday” weapons. The USA leadership showed they were irrational about nuclear weapons policy when we dropped out of the ABM treaty and then later built the missile sites in Romania and Poland. Russia decided to counter this irrational behavior with alternative weapons which cannot be readily defeated by a missile defense system. This should not have been necessary after Russia had disclosed her “dead hand” system decades ago, but people in Washington ignored that message and decided to revive nuclear brinksmanship. Great job, morons.

    I think the recent updates to the Russian nuclear strike policy somewhat sanction preemptive strikes if their civilization is threatened. I hope some of the senior people in the Pentagon understand this better than you do. It is never clear how to “win” these sorts of nuclear standoffs. The best Russian gambit might be a set of crushing EMP detonations over North America which can be blamed on Israel or maybe on the aliens rumored to be flitting about ;(

Normally I am ok with ethnic northeast asians, but the dynamic is different with these types in the Russian federation. Their being Muslims maybe is why they are undesirables.

    The Rus Slav's are being besieged by die-versity in their midst. You have the Jew Krain ethnic mob using their finance capital to indebt and kill Ukrainians, and also steal their land.

    Then in Russia you have the spook state allowing infiltration of Tuvans, and Buryats into the Donbass regions. Not to mention Muslims building mosques everywhere.

    Putin is no Hitler, but maybe he is at a time in his life, where stepping it up is advised. Your job as a statesman is to protect your people, and the Rus have it in them to protect themselves and don't need ethnic mobs to live amongst them.

    What is it with you jews? Sheldrake thinks that species can communicate subconsciously, and that is perhaps why you are evil?

    There are actually other possibilities that you so conveniently ignore:

    First off, Russell disappeared on Russian-controlled territory. He was in Donetsk when his kidnapping occurred. Donbass is a gangland. Organized crime is rampant. As is the drug trade. People disappear and people are killed off with ease and almost as frequently as in a black city in America. Yes, Jews - thanks for making negroes your agents of destruction by funding NAACP and organizing it.

    Russell was critical about the handling of the war and the treachery of the “Russian” spook state. Many of the people running Russia are not ethnic Russians, they are of the tribe. Russia has not been completely de-jewed, and there still is a significant number of confused Atlantacists still about.

    The Tuvan, Shoigu has also been running a skimming game for his cronies, to then fund his in-group fellow Tuvans. Putin has allowed this for some reason.

    All of the critics of Russian war efforts are dead or silenced: The original militia commanders who led the rebellion are all dead (except Khodakovsky, who is Chosen, and a “former” SBU spook, of course). The rest got arrested, or killed themselves, or narrowly escaped death and toned down all their criticism. Prighozhin was a march, not really a rebellion, they wanted Russian leadership to be pro-Russian and were marching in disapproval.

    So, here you Jews are all antagonistic toward Russia, not realizing that Russia is still Jew infested, or compromised by materialistic greedy types (your type) and Putin has been forced "against his nature" to elevate Russia to a war footing.

    There is another possibility despite your morbid Jewish desire to see "butt raping." Bentley was in a zone that had lots of drug trade.

    There is a large and very noxious drug trade that flourishes in Donbass. This might be related to the Kremlin spook presence. The spook agencies are the primary drug dealers in America also in Kiev-controlled Ukraine, and in Russia. Ukrainian soldiers and Russians to some extent use pain-killers, marijuana, meth, synthetic heroin and so on while on the job.

    After the actual butt-raping of Russia in the 90's by Jew Oligarchs, the only center of power left was the KGB spook state. Putin was a ne0-liberal acceptable to the American spook state, working hand in glove with Jews and finance capital to rape and dismember Russia.

    Only Putin has gone off the reservation, as he learns reality, much as how Stalin changed over the course of the years. A naturally moral person can only take so much jewing from the jew, and then they become a proper anti-semite.

    It's time for Putin to convert the Russian spook state into a Tsar system.

    Thanks again, I had forgotten about Janes. They have a report on the recent Iranian attack ... https://www.janes.com/intelligence-resources/open-source-intelligence-podcasts/podcast-details/iran-israel-analysis
    which has a lot of info, but apparently most of it comes from Israeli sources and ... social media. First .. everything but the ballistic missiles were intercepted. I believe that.

    They say Iran launched 120 ballistic missiles !!! ... 60 failed before reaching Israel, the US shot down 8 ???? , Israel used the Arrow 2 and/or Arrow 3 missiles to shoot down a large number, the number that got thru is 3 (according to Israel) but probably more.

    They don't specify which Iranian missiles were used ... they imply that the warheads have a 'homing' ability which is news to me, but that the one Iranian missile that has a powered warhead (!), the Khorramshar , was not used.

    All in all it pretty interesting, Iran has a wide assortment of 'medium range' ballistic missiles but it's not clear which ones are operational.

    Only the Arrow-3 is an exoatmospheric interceptor. It would be interesting to know how the Arrow 2 and Arrow 3 track their targets. And how they intercept them, i.e. a direct hit, a net, a proximity warhead ? It sounds like an interesting project !

    As I read it the Green Pine radar is used for both the Arrow2 and 3

    The Green Pine radar -


    it demonstrates a capability to detect targets at ranges of up to approximately 500 km (310 mi) while simultaneously tracking more than 30 targets, even those moving at speeds exceeding 3,000 m/s (10,000 ft/s). The radar not only illuminates the target but also guides the Arrow missile with remarkable precision, bringing it within a mere 4 meters of the intended target.
     
    Something is amiss here. Arrow 3 is an exoatmospheric interceptor, from wiki ... ICBM

    The apogee (halfway through the midcourse phase) is at an altitude of approximately 1,200 km (750 mi).
     
    Thus the radar cannot even detect an ICBM for most of its flight, much less track it.

    The idea that an exoatmospheric interceptor uses only a ground based radar is, IMHO, absurd.

    I worked on this very problem 40 yrs ago! but ... can't remember a damned thing. And of course, the interceptor had a homing radar. Even a Sidewinder has a homing sensor. The idea that the Arrow 2 and 3 don't have homing sensors of some type I believe is absurd.

    The technical details are interesting, and I have to admit I can't remember anything .... for example .. a radar sends out a pulse, and listens for its return .... by timing the return it can estimate distance to target, but how does it estimate direction ???, i.e. the pulse wave spreads out so all targets in a cone of some dimension will reflect the pulse, so.. how accurate is the direction estimate?

    I just Bing AI'd how does a radar determing direction given pulse spread ... as I realized I didn't know that and I know I didn't incorporate it into my model way back when (but, I was modeling a targeting radar so the signal spread might be negligible at close range?), i.e. I assumed the direction the antenna was pointing was the target direction. The answer: it has to scan the target and the direction where the return is strongest is the direction, but then, you have to scan twice, up and down, then left and right, and the target is moving at Mach 20 ... That is the idea of a ground base targeting radar is absurd.

    According to Iranian News reports, the government has not revealed the exact nature of the missiles
    used in the retaliatory attack against Israel on April 13, 2024. But, some report analysis say:In the following article, the weapons and military aspects of this operation will be analyzed.
    Iran used three types of its projectiles to attack targets in Israel in the "Honest Promise" operation.
    1- Ballistic missiles
    2- Cruise missiles
    3- Suicide drones
    Iranian ballistic missiles are generally divided into two main parts:
    1- Classical ballistic missiles
    2 - Hypersonic missiles
    Ballistic missiles include Shahab, Khorramshahr, Emad, Khyber Shekan, etc.
    and hypersonic missiles include Fatah missiles.
    Iran has not yet officially announced the type and model of the missiles fired, but it seems that most of the missiles that managed to pass through the enemy's defense shield and hit their targets were the new "Khyber Shakan" missiles and/ Or "hypersonic" missiles.
    One of the most interesting images of the moment of the Iranian missiles captured by the cameras was the image before the final hit on the target, the missile suddenly changed its direction in order to deflect the interceptor missiles and gave a so-called gap, then successfully hit its target. to do this kind of maneuvering shows that"Khyber Shakan" or "Fattah" hypersonic missile were used.

    Hypersonic missiles are very important and effective because of their high speed (5 to 25 times the speed of sound), and at least, at the present, almost no defense system can deal with it.

    when hypersonic missiles are used together with ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and drones, is that those missiles and drones play the role of bait and saturation of defense systems, the success rate of hypersonic missiles will be higher than before. It seems that this tactic was used in the attack against Israel.

    I point out known risks of WW3 and nuclear war. I don't know how to scale the risk absolutely, but I can see when it is rising.

    People are very confused about fallout. It is not a military showstopper. The radioactive contamination from Chernobyl and Fukushima was extremely serious and the details were largely swept under the rug worldwide. The long-term radiological health effects are likely much worse than those from a serious but not apocalyptic nuclear exchange. Many hundreds of nuclear weapons were detonated above ground after 1945 and people lived and had a lot of unnecessary cancers and birth defects. Some of those older bomb designs produced vastly more fallout than modern weapons.

    Fallout and nuclear winter (a theory) are not keeping nuclear weapons from being used, concern over full escalation and destruction does this. The Western pressure on Russia in Ukraine is an intense escalation compared to the past, much worse than the Cuban missile crisis. The biggest concern is that something accidental will happen, most likely caused by some rah-rah, incompetent Western idiot which will lead to a nuclear exchange. If there were any upside to this "Ukraine Project" there might be some twisted calculation to show why this was a good risk. But there is no upside. With the current mess in Ukraine everyone loses, all because of hubris by the West especially (((neocons))) and angry, gullible Ukrainians and Poles.

    The biggest risk from a most-probable medium-scale nuclear exchange is collapse of world commerce and disruption of high-tech agriculture leading to billions of deaths by starvation. Don't forget that while nukes are bad, bioweapons make them look tame.

    It is indeed a mess and it was Putin that believed it would be a 2.5 week special operation.

    The best way to reduce the risk would be for Putin to return to his borders as requested by the UN in their 143-5 vote.

    That 5 included Russia and Belarus.

    Which means it was really 145-3 for countries not directly involved in the war.

    "People recognize that the West is trying to bully the strongest nuclear power in the World. Not only is this insane, it is extremely dangerous for all of us.

    Are you really confused by all of this? You don’t need to like Russia to comprehend this. It is simply Superpower brinksmanship entirely driven by the West. Since Russia became weakened after the fall of the USSR this project to crush her became popular for some Western leaders. The weakness is what made this “crush Russia” project tempting, but also made it dangerous since Russia kept their nuclear arsenal to protect against this very type of attack on her sovereignty."
     
    Allow me to introduce a bit of reality into your addled little brain:

    If Putin tries to go nuclear, do you think he is just going to randomly start shooting nuke missiles off? Who would he target? Cities in Europe? Perhaps lob a few smaller ones at say the UK & Germany as an example and see what happens?

    But of course, there is the issue of nuclear fallout. As the world wind blows west to east, any radioactive cloud might wind up over Russia. Or China and they won't be happy about that.

    Given what we have learned of Russian military capabilities since the start of the Ukraine war, it is likely that at least 50% of Russia's nukes will not work, either having been stripped of useful parts that could be resold or poorly maintained over the years, or not able to get replacement parts due to sanctions.

    If Putin shoots his nuke missiles at the USA, I would expect that most would be shot down. Some will get through. But a lot more of ours will then hit Russia, making large parts of Russia unlivable for decades or longer.

    Assuming Putin would be buried in some deep bunker when he initiates a nuclear strike, a huge price would be set on his head and people would be hunting him down. He would never be able to come out of his hole.

    So, his country is radioactive and destroyed. Most Russian citizens are dead. Those still alive are suffering radiation poisoning to varying degrees and are starving. He can never leave his hideout. So what would he have accomplished?

    The threat of using nukes by a major power is baseless in today's world unless some maniac is in charge who wants to destroy the entire world and his underlings are willing to do the actual deed.

    For minor powers like India, Pakistan, North Korea and possibly Iran, the threat of using their nukes is meaningless as their whole country would be immediately destroyed, possibly by the USA, Russia AND China together.

    Russia’s population is concentrated in two cities that can be completely obliterated by a single submarine. No survivors whatsoever or usable infrastructure within a 25 mile radius. The Russian state would not be able to function and areas like Siberia and Chechnya would become their own countries. This is in part why Putin’s claims of “nuke towers on the border” were complete horse shit. NATO no longer builds nuke towers and also didn’t stick them in the Baltics. If they had an actual media he would be called out on his lies but they are of course a totalitarian state where humiliating Putin on television will get you prison time or worse.

    The anger management dwarf was just making up a threat to justify yet another Russian invasion of a neighbor. They have never gone 50 years without trying to invade someone.

    I would also point out that Putin cannot launch a nuke on his own. They have a similar system where two or three people have to turn a key at once.

    The FSB supposedly has a secret protocol where they can kill the president if they think he will start a nuclear war. A supposed leftover from KGB days. Makes sense and the CIA probably has one as well.

    If Putin decides to cheat he won’t go for the nukes. He would probably use chems like they did in Syria.

    NATO also gave him a warning of what would happen if he used a tactical. It was not made public but there is clearly some type of plan for conventional retribution if he goes that route.

    The concentration of Russian civilization in Moscow and Saint Petersburg (and Kiev) is surely a major factor in their nuclear posture. This has been obvious at least since the early 1970's when Russia put their anti-ballistic missile site near Moscow while the USA put our site in North Dakota. The Moscow site is still operational and probably supported by many other intercepters. If someone nukes a major American city it is a catastrophe, but does not represent destruction of our heritage, which historically came from London anyway. Many people would consider the loss of New York or Washington, DC. to be a blessing except for the loss of life. I think this fundamental difference is one factor behind Russian development of the Poseidon and Burevestnik "doomsday" weapons. The USA leadership showed they were irrational about nuclear weapons policy when we dropped out of the ABM treaty and then later built the missile sites in Romania and Poland. Russia decided to counter this irrational behavior with alternative weapons which cannot be readily defeated by a missile defense system. This should not have been necessary after Russia had disclosed her "dead hand" system decades ago, but people in Washington ignored that message and decided to revive nuclear brinksmanship. Great job, morons.

    I think the recent updates to the Russian nuclear strike policy somewhat sanction preemptive strikes if their civilization is threatened. I hope some of the senior people in the Pentagon understand this better than you do. It is never clear how to "win" these sorts of nuclear standoffs. The best Russian gambit might be a set of crushing EMP detonations over North America which can be blamed on Israel or maybe on the aliens rumored to be flitting about ;(

    How a store manager from India ended up killed on the battlefields of Ukraine fighting for Russia

    They opened the box on a Sunday in late March, getting their first look at Asfan Mohammed since he departed India for Russia four months earlier.

    He was better dressed than when he’d left – a black suit, white shirt, tie and shoes replacing the casual attire he’d worn when family and friends saw him off.

    But he had to be buried in line with his Muslim beliefs, so his body would need to be prepared; the neat clothes removed.

    It was then Imran Mohammad, 41, saw the extent of what had happened to his 31-year-old brother while fighting for the Russian armed forces in Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.

    Well at least he died like a man and not in some horrifying Pulp Fiction ass rape scene like the Putin supporter from Texas. Bentley was a confused Texan but he didn’t deserve to be raped. They won’t give his wife the body which means it most likely happened. The original source on the story was Russian and he wasn’t near the frontline. Sounds like they thought he was a NATO spy and raped him.

    I think it speaks volumes that Putin is recruiting poor Indians and Bengalese.

    The MacGregors and Ritters tell us that Putin has unlimited reserves.

    Well why are they scamming poor Indians? From what I have read they not only scam them into combat but then do everything to avoid paying the families.

    Truly despicable.

    Stalin wrote a book outlining his theory, that a nation requires a culture bearing people. The other groups in the nation are subordinate, and are along for the ride. These subordinate people are still somewhat equal, but they are not the culture bearers.

    Could you provide this book’s reference ?

    Stalin revealed his thoughts on the national question in his work, “Marxism and the National Question.” Remember, the Bolsheviks were Jewish internationalists, taking their usury pay from their cousins in London and Wall Street.

    Stalin writes that the Russian question is a question of uniting all nations. Culture is socialist in content and national in form.

    The Russian (Rus= Aryan) are the leading force in the inter-ethnic community, but they are not the master people.

    Stalin, even though he was a Georgian came to this conclusion by the end of the war, as it was the RUS, who did the heavy lifting. Meanwhile, Jews were shirking duty, and on-selling Russian goods into the far east. The merchant cannot help himself. This of course sickened Stalin, whose views came around to the national question.

    Stalin also supported racial studies in the Rus regions, feeling this would build up Russian pride, and thus weaken the Jews.

    The Ind0-European Aryan people likely spread out from the southern Russia-Ukraine regions; this occurred likely after the gene for lactose tolerance became prevalent. The Aryans farmed animals, they did not farm grain. The Neanderthal’s did hand to hand combat with large ice-age animals, and hence are much more aggressive and were not “good shepherds” or civilizational bearers despite their claiming that mantle.

    Goebbels could not understand why the Nazi’s and Rus were battling, as they had much in common. Hitler totally screwed up by not “liberating” but instead conquering. Putin in spreading his Nazi and Great War propaganda is also screwing up, when it would be better to just tell the truth.

    What is that truth, that the jews are out to get him for going "off the reservation?" You do realize that the jews will then go full bore in calling Putin the new Hitler, and all the Holocaust-propagandized mindless hordes will then help them wipe Russia out.

    You cannot tell the truth when your enemy controls the media, as they will just say Putin hates the jews "for no reason," and leave out all the jew crimes that he enumerates.

    No, the best bet is what is currently happening, the implosion from internal contradictions of the jews genociding Gaza then demanding the US support them:

    In the medium-term, only after the legacy media has been destroyed and completely replaced with impartial, independent online media can you start telling the truth to the masses. Tucker Carlson interviewing Putin and only making it available online was a big step in that direction.

    Thanks again, I had forgotten about Janes. They have a report on the recent Iranian attack ... https://www.janes.com/intelligence-resources/open-source-intelligence-podcasts/podcast-details/iran-israel-analysis
    which has a lot of info, but apparently most of it comes from Israeli sources and ... social media. First .. everything but the ballistic missiles were intercepted. I believe that.

    They say Iran launched 120 ballistic missiles !!! ... 60 failed before reaching Israel, the US shot down 8 ???? , Israel used the Arrow 2 and/or Arrow 3 missiles to shoot down a large number, the number that got thru is 3 (according to Israel) but probably more.

    They don't specify which Iranian missiles were used ... they imply that the warheads have a 'homing' ability which is news to me, but that the one Iranian missile that has a powered warhead (!), the Khorramshar , was not used.

    All in all it pretty interesting, Iran has a wide assortment of 'medium range' ballistic missiles but it's not clear which ones are operational.

    Only the Arrow-3 is an exoatmospheric interceptor. It would be interesting to know how the Arrow 2 and Arrow 3 track their targets. And how they intercept them, i.e. a direct hit, a net, a proximity warhead ? It sounds like an interesting project !

    According to Iranian News reports, the government has not revealed the exact nature of the missiles
    used in the retaliatory attack against Israel on April 13, 2024. But, some report analysis say:In the following article, the weapons and military aspects of this operation will be analyzed.
    Iran used three types of its projectiles to attack targets in Israel in the “Honest Promise” operation.
    1- Ballistic missiles
    2- Cruise missiles
    3- Suicide drones
    Iranian ballistic missiles are generally divided into two main parts:
    1- Classical ballistic missiles
    2 – Hypersonic missiles
    Ballistic missiles include Shahab, Khorramshahr, Emad, Khyber Shekan, etc.
    and hypersonic missiles include Fatah missiles.
    Iran has not yet officially announced the type and model of the missiles fired, but it seems that most of the missiles that managed to pass through the enemy’s defense shield and hit their targets were the new “Khyber Shakan” missiles and/ Or “hypersonic” missiles.
    One of the most interesting images of the moment of the Iranian missiles captured by the cameras was the image before the final hit on the target, the missile suddenly changed its direction in order to deflect the interceptor missiles and gave a so-called gap, then successfully hit its target. to do this kind of maneuvering shows that”Khyber Shakan” or “Fattah” hypersonic missile were used.

    Hypersonic missiles are very important and effective because of their high speed (5 to 25 times the speed of sound), and at least, at the present, almost no defense system can deal with it.

    when hypersonic missiles are used together with ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and drones, is that those missiles and drones play the role of bait and saturation of defense systems, the success rate of hypersonic missiles will be higher than before. It seems that this tactic was used in the attack against Israel.

    Odd, the Janes report said that all the missiles that made it thru were 'ballistic missiles'. But then again it referred to the maneuverability of at least some of the missiles. I just checked (Bing AI) and hypersonic missiles are maneuverable, ballistic missiles are not. My guess is the Janes guy was wrong!!!

    Note: ICMBs, IRBMs, etc., are 'hypersonic' in that they go fast, way faster than hypersonic missiles, but ballistic missiles like ICBMs are not referred to as hypersonic missiles, because they follow a different type of trajectory, a 'ballistic' trajectory, like a thrown ball, after the boost phase. The new hypersonic missiles have an altogether different trajectory, a rocket powered boost phase followed by a long jet powered glide phase, and are maneuverable. And for that reason present an entirely new set of problems for missile defense, probably unsolvable.

    Cruise missiles are slow.

    Thanks for the info in your previous post, I was unfamiliar with those systems, I obviously have not been keeping up with the subject.

    I did discover that wiki has a good article on the subject that discusses the various types of threat missiles and the various defense systems. I was reminded that ICBMs travel at Mach 20, not Mach 10.

    I also queried Bing copilot which gave a good overview of the US 'system'.

    Bing notes that the US ground based exoatmospheric system has problems, i.e. it doesn't work.

    As for the Russian and Israeli systems I would be very skeptical. How in hell would we know if they actually work?

    I also read about the Israeli Arrow system intercepting missiles in the Iranian attack, but there were no details on the type of treat missile.

    Also, note that any system that relies on solely on ground based radars has no chance of working against high speed threats for more or less obvious reasons. In the 80s I worked on simulating the performance of a phased array targeting radar in the interreceptor nose cone. I can't remember the details, or even whether the radar was built and tested, but the ongoing actual tests at that time were generally not successful.

    I also note that it is trivially easy for ICBM, suitably modified, to defeat any anti-missile system by juking, or occasionally changing course, as estimating target position/velocity requires a sophisticated algorithm to combine the current estimate with the incoming noisy radar data, and it requires that the target fly a ballistic, i.e. non-juking, path.

    Replies: @John1955, @valconius

    It has long been the case that even newspapers have carried the following details:
    – Ground-base mid-course correction (USA) works. We can infer it has always worked due to the propensity of the US propaganda to understate its military capabilities.
    – Arrow does not work. I have the opinion that the US fleets are so close to the Jews to maintain the illusion their equipment works. Aegis interception presumably works.
    – It is surprisingly difficult to avoid missile interception. Imagine you had two copper wires which had one end poked into Earth and the other reaching out into space. Gravity gradually curves the two wires, one the icbm and the other the interceptor. Every time somebody “jukes” you sharply bend the wire. It is easy to visualize that the interceptor wire has more free wire to work with than the icbm.

    Precisely why air2air missiles are comically ineffective in the face of this is a mystery, but I think at least USA and Russia can easily intercept arbitrarily many icbms. But in the air… maybe the retarded engineers work on that stuff, and that’s why their respective militaries seem incompetent in actually wars?

    Aside: Of course, it would help Russia to get rid of the crook Shoigu. His Deputy Minister of Defense and long-time friend, was arrested yesterday, after decades of stealing money.
     
    Shoigu is a Tuvan. Multiculturalism doesn't work, it is a Tower of Babel. The Tuvan was left in place by Putin for some reason. Putin has allowed some grift to occur as he battled the mostly Jewish Oligarchs who rained death onto Russia in the 90's. Putin has said that more people died due to the privations of the 90's, than died in the great war.

    The sooner Russia moves to a Tsar/Symphony system, the better. The new Tsar system has to be something like Hungary's constitutional kingdom, which lasted nearly 1000 years. Hungarian Kings were not idiot sons or blood relations, they were selected by voting process (not a democracy). The King had to select the upper house, and the people selected the lower house. If the two did not get along, there was a new election. If the new election did not find individuals who could work together, the King was ousted. It was not a party system.

    The Russian king has to always be a white Rus. Stalin settled the issue after WW2, when he noticed that the Rus did all the heavy lifting, while the Jews were shirking duty.

    Stalin wrote a book outlining his theory, that a nation requires a culture bearing people. The other groups in the nation are subordinate, and are along for the ride. These subordinate people are still somewhat equal, but they are not the culture bearers. To that end, Stalin made sure that there was passports within the Soviet Union. A Tuvan could not easily move to white Rus areas like Moscow. Stalin also made Jews, Moslems and Christians identify their religion on their passports. So, Jews could not move about easily doing their nefarious work.

    So, yes, Putin is screwing up big time by allowing immigration into former Rus areas. This then causes in-group enclaves to form, and in-group out-group friction then makes life less pleasant.

    Anybody who doubts that in-group and out-group friction occurs should familiarize themselves with Putnam and "Bowling Alone."

    Normally, happa-like people, like the Tuvans are not hostile, as they go along with higher civilizational precepts (unlike the lower races). I suspect it is their religion, Islam, which makes them malfunction. Putin would do better to keep them in their regions, and not allow migration.

    The Jew led west likes to use color revolution and to agitate minorities using grievance language. This then allows chaos, so the Jew may attach debts, much as they did in the 90's. Putin has gone too far with his butt-smooching of the out-groups and allowing grift. He is too afraid of the West, the Rus (Aryans) can fight as they demonstrated during WW2. I admit this even though I am a Nazi. Hitler screwed up by not being a liberator. Rus don't need the Tuvans or the Chechens to do any heavy lifting, as they are not the culture bearing people.

    Given what we have learned of Russian military capabilities since the start of the Ukraine war, it is likely that at least 50% of Russia's nukes will not work, either having been stripped of useful parts that could be resold or poorly maintained over the years, or not able to get replacement parts due to sanctions.

    If Putin shoots his nuke missiles at the USA, I would expect that most would be shot down. Some will get through. But a lot more of ours will then hit Russia, making large parts of Russia unlivable for decades or longer.

    Assuming Putin would be buried in some deep bunker when he initiates a nuclear strike, a huge price would be set on his head and people would be hunting him down. He would never be able to come out of his hole.

    So, his country is radioactive and destroyed. Most Russian citizens are dead. Those still alive are suffering radiation poisoning to varying degrees and are starving. He can never leave his hideout. So what would he have accomplished?

    The threat of using nukes by a major power is baseless in today's world unless some maniac is in charge who wants to destroy the entire world and his underlings are willing to do the actual deed.

    For minor powers like India, Pakistan, North Korea and possibly Iran, the threat of using their nukes is meaningless as their whole country would be immediately destroyed, possibly by the USA, Russia AND China together.

    I point out known risks of WW3 and nuclear war. I don’t know how to scale the risk absolutely, but I can see when it is rising.

    People are very confused about fallout. It is not a military showstopper. The radioactive contamination from Chernobyl and Fukushima was extremely serious and the details were largely swept under the rug worldwide. The long-term radiological health effects are likely much worse than those from a serious but not apocalyptic nuclear exchange. Many hundreds of nuclear weapons were detonated above ground after 1945 and people lived and had a lot of unnecessary cancers and birth defects. Some of those older bomb designs produced vastly more fallout than modern weapons.

    Fallout and nuclear winter (a theory) are not keeping nuclear weapons from being used, concern over full escalation and destruction does this. The Western pressure on Russia in Ukraine is an intense escalation compared to the past, much worse than the Cuban missile crisis. The biggest concern is that something accidental will happen, most likely caused by some rah-rah, incompetent Western idiot which will lead to a nuclear exchange. If there were any upside to this “Ukraine Project” there might be some twisted calculation to show why this was a good risk. But there is no upside. With the current mess in Ukraine everyone loses, all because of hubris by the West especially (((neocons))) and angry, gullible Ukrainians and Poles.

    The biggest risk from a most-probable medium-scale nuclear exchange is collapse of world commerce and disruption of high-tech agriculture leading to billions of deaths by starvation. Don’t forget that while nukes are bad, bioweapons make them look tame.

    It is indeed a mess and it was Putin that believed it would be a 2.5 week special operation.

    The best way to reduce the risk would be for Putin to return to his borders as requested by the UN in their 143-5 vote.

    That 5 included Russia and Belarus.

    Which means it was really 145-3 for countries not directly involved in the war.

    If Putin shoots his nuke missiles at the USA, I would expect that most would be shot down. Some will get through. But a lot more of ours will then hit Russia, making large parts of Russia unlivable for decades or longer.

    Russia's population is concentrated in two cities that can be completely obliterated by a single submarine. No survivors whatsoever or usable infrastructure within a 25 mile radius. The Russian state would not be able to function and areas like Siberia and Chechnya would become their own countries. This is in part why Putin's claims of "nuke towers on the border" were complete horse shit. NATO no longer builds nuke towers and also didn't stick them in the Baltics. If they had an actual media he would be called out on his lies but they are of course a totalitarian state where humiliating Putin on television will get you prison time or worse.

    The anger management dwarf was just making up a threat to justify yet another Russian invasion of a neighbor. They have never gone 50 years without trying to invade someone.

    I would also point out that Putin cannot launch a nuke on his own. They have a similar system where two or three people have to turn a key at once.

    The FSB supposedly has a secret protocol where they can kill the president if they think he will start a nuclear war. A supposed leftover from KGB days. Makes sense and the CIA probably has one as well.

    If Putin decides to cheat he won't go for the nukes. He would probably use chems like they did in Syria.

    NATO also gave him a warning of what would happen if he used a tactical. It was not made public but there is clearly some type of plan for conventional retribution if he goes that route.

    Well at least he died like a man and not in some horrifying Pulp Fiction ass rape scene like the Putin supporter from Texas. Bentley was a confused Texan but he didn't deserve to be raped. They won't give his wife the body which means it most likely happened. The original source on the story was Russian and he wasn't near the frontline. Sounds like they thought he was a NATO spy and raped him.

    I think it speaks volumes that Putin is recruiting poor Indians and Bengalese.

    The MacGregors and Ritters tell us that Putin has unlimited reserves.

    Well why are they scamming poor Indians? From what I have read they not only scam them into combat but then do everything to avoid paying the families.

    Thanks for the info in your previous post, I was unfamiliar with those systems, I obviously have not been keeping up with the subject.

    I did discover that wiki has a good article on the subject that discusses the various types of threat missiles and the various defense systems. I was reminded that ICBMs travel at Mach 20, not Mach 10.

    I also queried Bing copilot which gave a good overview of the US 'system'.

    Bing notes that the US ground based exoatmospheric system has problems, i.e. it doesn't work.

    As for the Russian and Israeli systems I would be very skeptical. How in hell would we know if they actually work?

    I also read about the Israeli Arrow system intercepting missiles in the Iranian attack, but there were no details on the type of treat missile.

    Also, note that any system that relies on solely on ground based radars has no chance of working against high speed threats for more or less obvious reasons. In the 80s I worked on simulating the performance of a phased array targeting radar in the interreceptor nose cone. I can't remember the details, or even whether the radar was built and tested, but the ongoing actual tests at that time were generally not successful.

    I also note that it is trivially easy for ICBM, suitably modified, to defeat any anti-missile system by juking, or occasionally changing course, as estimating target position/velocity requires a sophisticated algorithm to combine the current estimate with the incoming noisy radar data, and it requires that the target fly a ballistic, i.e. non-juking, path.

    which has a lot of info, but apparently most of it comes from Israeli sources and ... social media. First .. everything but the ballistic missiles were intercepted. I believe that.

    They say Iran launched 120 ballistic missiles !!! ... 60 failed before reaching Israel, the US shot down 8 ???? , Israel used the Arrow 2 and/or Arrow 3 missiles to shoot down a large number, the number that got thru is 3 (according to Israel) but probably more.

    They don't specify which Iranian missiles were used ... they imply that the warheads have a 'homing' ability which is news to me, but that the one Iranian missile that has a powered warhead (!), the Khorramshar , was not used.

    All in all it pretty interesting, Iran has a wide assortment of 'medium range' ballistic missiles but it's not clear which ones are operational.

    Only the Arrow-3 is an exoatmospheric interceptor. It would be interesting to know how the Arrow 2 and Arrow 3 track their targets. And how they intercept them, i.e. a direct hit, a net, a proximity warhead ? It sounds like an interesting project !

People disappear and people are killed off with ease and almost as frequently as in a black city in America. Yes, Jews - thanks for making negroes your agents of destruction by funding NAACP and organizing it.

    Russell was critical about the handling of the war and the treachery of the “Russian” spook state. Many of the people running Russia are not ethnic Russians, they are of the tribe. Russia has not been completely de-jewed, and there still is a significant number of confused Atlantacists still about.

    The Tuvan, Shoigu has also been running a skimming game for his cronies, to then fund his in-group fellow Tuvans. Putin has allowed this for some reason.

    All of the critics of Russian war efforts are dead or silenced: The original militia commanders who led the rebellion are all dead (except Khodakovsky, who is Chosen, and a “former” SBU spook, of course). The rest got arrested, or killed themselves, or narrowly escaped death and toned down all their criticism. Prighozhin was a march, not really a rebellion, they wanted Russian leadership to be pro-Russian and were marching in disapproval.

    So, here you Jews are all antagonistic toward Russia, not realizing that Russia is still Jew infested, or compromised by materialistic greedy types (your type) and Putin has been forced "against his nature" to elevate Russia to a war footing.

    There is another possibility despite your morbid Jewish desire to see "butt raping." Bentley was in a zone that had lots of drug trade.

    There is a large and very noxious drug trade that flourishes in Donbass. This might be related to the Kremlin spook presence. The spook agencies are the primary drug dealers in America also in Kiev-controlled Ukraine, and in Russia. Ukrainian soldiers and Russians to some extent use pain-killers, marijuana, meth, synthetic heroin and so on while on the job.

    After the actual butt-raping of Russia in the 90's by Jew Oligarchs, the only center of power left was the KGB spook state. Putin was a ne0-liberal acceptable to the American spook state, working hand in glove with Jews and finance capital to rape and dismember Russia.

    Only Putin has gone off the reservation, as he learns reality, much as how Stalin changed over the course of the years. A naturally moral person can only take so much jewing from the jew, and then they become a proper anti-semite.

    It's time for Putin to convert the Russian spook state into a Tsar system.

    Maybe the origin of the surname Postol will be interesting to some. I looked up the origin on the internet and got different information. Some of them are of recent date, which introduces confusion in deciphering the original meaning.

    England and Ireland are mentioned as countries of origin (probably related to American migrants from those countries). There is also a large number of Jewish surnames (e.g. in Argentina) which may lead someone to conclude that the surname is of Jewish origin.

    However, some key details are slowly being revealed. First, that the name is in fact identical with the name 'apostle'. Second, that the highest density of that surname is in Ukraine. The latter indicates that the origin of the name is Serbian, and that it came to Ukraine (that is, to Russia, since Ukraine is a fairly recent concept) through migrations from the Balkans (when even Russians and Russia did not exist).

    Where then does the identity with 'apostle' come from? This may surprise those who, despite everything, still do not know where and when the first Christian diocese was founded. To cut it short, the word 'postol' is an old Serbian word for footwear. Jesus asked his disciples to go barefoot (a-postol = without shoes) among the people and to preach the gospel. (A)postol is the Serbian word for ‘apostle’. ‘Postol’ is still widely used in Dalmatia and the Adriatic coast where there are many shoe repair shops 'postol-ar' = shoemaker.

    So, postol=footwear.

    Thanks for the info in your previous post, I was unfamiliar with those systems, I obviously have not been keeping up with the subject.

    I did discover that wiki has a good article on the subject that discusses the various types of threat missiles and the various defense systems. I was reminded that ICBMs travel at Mach 20, not Mach 10.

    I also queried Bing copilot which gave a good overview of the US ‘system’.

    Bing notes that the US ground based exoatmospheric system has problems, i.e. it doesn’t work.

    As for the Russian and Israeli systems I would be very skeptical. How in hell would we know if they actually work?

    I also read about the Israeli Arrow system intercepting missiles in the Iranian attack, but there were no details on the type of treat missile.

    Also, note that any system that relies on solely on ground based radars has no chance of working against high speed threats for more or less obvious reasons. In the 80s I worked on simulating the performance of a phased array targeting radar in the interreceptor nose cone. I can’t remember the details, or even whether the radar was built and tested, but the ongoing actual tests at that time were generally not successful.

    I also note that it is trivially easy for ICBM, suitably modified, to defeat any anti-missile system by juking, or occasionally changing course, as estimating target position/velocity requires a sophisticated algorithm to combine the current estimate with the incoming noisy radar data, and it requires that the target fly a ballistic, i.e. non-juking, path.

    It has long been the case that even newspapers have carried the following details:
    - Ground-base mid-course correction (USA) works. We can infer it has always worked due to the propensity of the US propaganda to understate its military capabilities.
    - Arrow does not work. I have the opinion that the US fleets are so close to the Jews to maintain the illusion their equipment works. Aegis interception presumably works.
    - It is surprisingly difficult to avoid missile interception. Imagine you had two copper wires which had one end poked into Earth and the other reaching out into space. Gravity gradually curves the two wires, one the icbm and the other the interceptor. Every time somebody "jukes" you sharply bend the wire. It is easy to visualize that the interceptor wire has more free wire to work with than the icbm.

    Precisely why air2air missiles are comically ineffective in the face of this is a mystery, but I think at least USA and Russia can easily intercept arbitrarily many icbms. But in the air... maybe the retarded engineers work on that stuff, and that's why their respective militaries seem incompetent in actually wars?

    Jews decided they didn’t like spending the money to hire so many white gentiles to manufacture their weapons and aircraft, the way they did during the war and post-war.

    In a sense the computer revolution is responsible for this situation. In the early computer revolution, companies like IBM and Digital Equipment Corporation could make huge profits by helping to automate clerical work. Those skilled at carrying out long or complex calculations with adding machines were no longer needed. The notion that one could charge enormous sums for programming and maintaining machines on a subscription model was one that couldn’t survive the ubiquity of computing power and high bandwidth communication allowing for easy transfer of programs on non-proprietary and open platforms. Computer controlled weapons produced by the ZOG’s military industrial complex are still being sold according to the old model. And they’ve cut way back on the number of relatively high wage workers who are needed to manufacture goods – the pool of such manufacturing workers is greatly reduced, in any event. We can see by what is happening with Boeing that manufacturing and quality control capabilities have actually been lost.

    Of course the Jews aren’t going to manufacture the weapons for their wars. So who is going to make the weapons for the Jews? Oriental biological laboratories?

    It is to be remembered that U.S. officials, including Gen. H. Norman Schwarzkopf, commander-in-chief of Allied Forces, said two weeks after the Gulf War began in January 1991 that “the Patriot’s success, of course, is known to everyone; it’s 100 percent so far.”

    Studies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (M.I.T.) and Government Accountability Office (G.A.O.) later forced the government to revise the numbers downwards.

    Later, M.I.T. Professor Theodore Postol said the success rate was less than 10 percent and probably zero percent. The G.O.A. used the figure of 9 percent. Furthermore, Israel waited 30 years before admitting that 14 Israelis were killed and tens injured from Iraqi scud missiles in 1991, after having denied casualties at the time.

    And even in the Iranian attack on the U.S. base in Iraq in the wake of the assassination of General Qasim Suleimani in 2019?, the Trump administration lied to the public. Trump first denied that any US troops were injured in the attack. Later, “American officials admitted that eight American service members had been evacuated for injuries.”

    Over time, the number of injuries increased from 34, then to 50, then to 64. Defense officials finally announced on Feb. 10, 2020 that 109 U.S. troops had been wounded.

    Thanks for the info in your previous post, I was unfamiliar with those systems, I obviously have not been keeping up with the subject.

    I did discover that wiki has a good article on the subject that discusses the various types of threat missiles and the various defense systems. I was reminded that ICBMs travel at Mach 20, not Mach 10.

    I also queried Bing copilot which gave a good overview of the US 'system'.

    Bing notes that the US ground based exoatmospheric system has problems, i.e. it doesn't work.

    As for the Russian and Israeli systems I would be very skeptical. How in hell would we know if they actually work?

    I also read about the Israeli Arrow system intercepting missiles in the Iranian attack, but there were no details on the type of treat missile.

    Also, note that any system that relies on solely on ground based radars has no chance of working against high speed threats for more or less obvious reasons. In the 80s I worked on simulating the performance of a phased array targeting radar in the interreceptor nose cone. I can't remember the details, or even whether the radar was built and tested, but the ongoing actual tests at that time were generally not successful.

    I also note that it is trivially easy for ICBM, suitably modified, to defeat any anti-missile system by juking, or occasionally changing course, as estimating target position/velocity requires a sophisticated algorithm to combine the current estimate with the incoming noisy radar data, and it requires that the target fly a ballistic, i.e. non-juking, path.

  • The weak link in the Iron Dome system is the Detection component. The Iranians will send over a volley of missiles that instead of warheads will contain chaff. The chaff will blind Iron Dome sensors and the follow-up Iranian volleys will elude detection. Instead of 99% interception there will be 99% hits.

    It’s not a stupid mistake, NATO advanced relentlessly toward Russia borders.

    Did Ukraine qualify for NATO? A yes or no question.

    Putin has allowed Oligarchs to stay in Russia, and yes Prighozhin was probably murdered. And yes, Putin is stupid for not ushering in a new Tsar system, especially given his popularity.

    You are saying that Putin is not a Tsar even though he launched a war without running it by the Duma? How exactly is he limited in power compared to Tsars of the past?

    Russia is going to pummel Ukraine, after the elections the special military operation was upgraded to war.

    MacGregor and Ritter both said that at the start of the war. Neither believed it would last more than a month and in fact Scott Ritter claimed the bulk of the fighting was over....which was 2 years ago. MacGregor claimed his "inside sources" told him that Ukraine has no more men and it's over. Also 2 years ago.

    But you are certain that the real war begins now....and Ukraine is doomed...again. Got it. Making a note of that.

    Ukraine is Jew-Kraine, run by international finance capital.

    It was a special military operation. It has only now been legally updated to a war. Tsars are even more authoritarian than Putin. Putin has to tread carefully to not antagonize the Atlantacist fifth column still in Russia. Russia was broken by the 90’s Jew Oligarch invasion. They were attempting to grab all the resources, including Yukos, that way they could take rents forever. If it is good for the tribe!

    It is a war now, not a SMO. They have taken the gloves off. There are already 5 towns without power. Under the law, they can now escalate to whatever level is required. They also admit they are surprised that the SMO didn’t end sooner.

    It is more than just Jewish, the cousin-hood of finance capital includes London, and diaspora Jews. It is also called the international. The idea is to spread debts and take rents/usury. I guess the predominance of Jews in Jew -Krain government, and the Jewish Oligarchs getting rich on death, is something we should just ignore? Many of the Ukraine lands have already passed to Black-Rock.

    MI6 funded the so called Azov Nazi’s after WW2 as a way to antagonize the Soviet Union. Stalin de-jewed the Politburo with the show trials, and doctors plot. It wasn’t just happenstance that the west turned against the Soviet Union in 1946. JewKriane has long been on the finance capitalist tit.

    Even more than Russia, Ukraine has proved it. They have taken out enormous numbers of Russia armored vehicles with ‘FPV’ drones. It is practically their main long-range weapon now. Something has to change. Both Russia and Ukraine are handing out shotguns to troops now, as a stopgap

    Do you have a source for that? I have seen zero evidence that either side is handing out shotguns.

    There is a huge problem with FPVs which is that they do not have to fly in front of you like skeet.

    They can hover out of shotgun range and then divebomb. What does the soldier do in this situation? Constantly scan the sky in all directions while holding a shotgun? Have you ever shot skeet for an hour? It gets very tiring and most people need a lot of practice before being able to shoot skeet that floats across their 180.

    Shotguns won't work. You need AI driven hunter-killer drones and by the time those are available there will be drone swarms.

    Putin's best move would be to go back to his borders and admit this was all a stupid mistake. That would prevent the most drone attacks.

    Of course, it would help Russia to get rid of the crook Shoigu.

    Both Prigozhin and Girkin said that early on. Putin told us that Prigozhin died in an accident involving cocaine and hand grenades. Girkin is in prison for posting online that Putin is clueless at war. Criticizing the government is not allowed in the dwarf dictatorship.

    1) the ballistic missiles, except maybe for the one that hit the runway, did not have explosive warheads (LIKELY, if Iran just wanted to demonstrate hits, not cause damage)

    2) other sites were targeted which are not being revealed (UNLIKELY because the declared mission was to hit targets involved in the April 1 attack)

    However, Iran did not do what Bibi and Israel expected them to do.

    Aside: Of course, it would help Russia to get rid of the crook Shoigu. His Deputy Minister of Defense and long-time friend, was arrested yesterday, after decades of stealing money.
     
    Shoigu is a Tuvan. Multiculturalism doesn't work, it is a Tower of Babel. The Tuvan was left in place by Putin for some reason. Putin has allowed some grift to occur as he battled the mostly Jewish Oligarchs who rained death onto Russia in the 90's. Putin has said that more people died due to the privations of the 90's, than died in the great war.

    The sooner Russia moves to a Tsar/Symphony system, the better. The new Tsar system has to be something like Hungary's constitutional kingdom, which lasted nearly 1000 years. Hungarian Kings were not idiot sons or blood relations, they were selected by voting process (not a democracy). The King had to select the upper house, and the people selected the lower house. If the two did not get along, there was a new election. If the new election did not find individuals who could work together, the King was ousted. It was not a party system.

    The Russian king has to always be a white Rus. Stalin settled the issue after WW2, when he noticed that the Rus did all the heavy lifting, while the Jews were shirking duty.

    Stalin wrote a book outlining his theory, that a nation requires a culture bearing people. The other groups in the nation are subordinate, and are along for the ride. These subordinate people are still somewhat equal, but they are not the culture bearers. To that end, Stalin made sure that there was passports within the Soviet Union. A Tuvan could not easily move to white Rus areas like Moscow. Stalin also made Jews, Moslems and Christians identify their religion on their passports. So, Jews could not move about easily doing their nefarious work.

    So, yes, Putin is screwing up big time by allowing immigration into former Rus areas. This then causes in-group enclaves to form, and in-group out-group friction then makes life less pleasant.

    Anybody who doubts that in-group and out-group friction occurs should familiarize themselves with Putnam and "Bowling Alone."

    Normally, happa-like people, like the Tuvans are not hostile, as they go along with higher civilizational precepts (unlike the lower races). I suspect it is their religion, Islam, which makes them malfunction. Putin would do better to keep them in their regions, and not allow migration.

    The Jew led west likes to use color revolution and to agitate minorities using grievance language. This then allows chaos, so the Jew may attach debts, much as they did in the 90's. Putin has gone too far with his butt-smooching of the out-groups and allowing grift. He is too afraid of the West, the Rus (Aryans) can fight as they demonstrated during WW2. I admit this even though I am a Nazi. Hitler screwed up by not being a liberator. Rus don't need the Tuvans or the Chechens to do any heavy lifting, as they are not the culture bearing people.

    Stalin revealed his thoughts on the national question in his work, "Marxism and the National Question." Remember, the Bolsheviks were Jewish internationalists, taking their usury pay from their cousins in London and Wall Street.

    Stalin writes that the Russian question is a question of uniting all nations. Culture is socialist in content and national in form.

    The Russian (Rus= Aryan) are the leading force in the inter-ethnic community, but they are not the master people.

    Stalin, even though he was a Georgian came to this conclusion by the end of the war, as it was the RUS, who did the heavy lifting. Meanwhile, Jews were shirking duty, and on-selling Russian goods into the far east. The merchant cannot help himself. This of course sickened Stalin, whose views came around to the national question.

    Stalin also supported racial studies in the Rus regions, feeling this would build up Russian pride, and thus weaken the Jews.

    The Ind0-European Aryan people likely spread out from the southern Russia-Ukraine regions; this occurred likely after the gene for lactose tolerance became prevalent. The Aryans farmed animals, they did not farm grain. The Neanderthal's did hand to hand combat with large ice-age animals, and hence are much more aggressive and were not "good shepherds" or civilizational bearers despite their claiming that mantle.

    Goebbels could not understand why the Nazi's and Rus were battling, as they had much in common. Hitler totally screwed up by not "liberating" but instead conquering. Putin in spreading his Nazi and Great War propaganda is also screwing up, when it would be better to just tell the truth.

I bet my uneducated a$$ that every FCC Lompoc graduate succeeds in acquiring a PhD in Missile Technology and, when back in da 'hood, can explain to Lil' Homies how MIRVs can be MARVed:

    "Each individual nuclear weapon carried aloft by a missile is called an IRV (Independently Targeted Reentry Vehicle). The final stage of the missile's warhead that goes aloft is called the bus. As it flies through space, the bus fires out IRVs at different targets, or several IRVs at the same target. Since the bus has more than one IRV on board, the missile is said to be MIRVed, or to be a MIRV (Multiple Independently Targeted Reentry Vehicle). If the IRV can maneuver after it enters the atmosphere to better hit its target, the IRV is then known as a MARV (Maneuvering Reentry Vehicle). The MIRVs are then said to have been MARVed. MARVed MIRVs are the next step in accuracy."

    =Patriot system could intercept ICBMs?=

    No, it can't. It was not designed for this task.

    https://www.amazon.com/Ballistic-Missile-Technologies-Technology-Assessment/dp/1410202860

    There are a limited number of systems worldwide that can intercept intercontinental ballistic missiles:

    -The Russian A-135 anti-ballistic missile system (upgraded in 2017 to A-235)

    -The Israeli Arrow 3 system entered operational service in 2017. It is designed for exo-atmosphere interception of ballistic missiles during the spaceflight portion of their trajectory, including those of ICBMs. It may also act as an anti-satellite weapon.

    -The Indian Prithvi Defence Vehicle Mark 2 has the capability to shoot down ICBMs. It has completed developmental trials and is awaiting the Indian government's clearance in order to be deployed.

    -The American Ground-Based Midcourse Defense (GMD) system, formerly known as National Missile Defense (NMD), was first tested in 1997 and had its first successful intercept test in 1999. Instead of using an explosive charge, it launches a hit-to-kill kinetic projectile to intercept an ICBM.

    -The Aegis ballistic missile defense-equipped SM-3 Block II-A missile demonstrated it can shoot down an ICBM target on 16 Nov 2020.

    However it is, one thing is certain. Conventional military strategy has to be abandoned in the wake of relatively inexpensive 'drone war' weapons. Traditional--i.e. heavy and expensive 'big iron' weaponry (tanks and other armored mobile vehicles) can easily be taken out by inexpensive to manufacture loitering munitions. And, up close, hand-held weaponry. Russia has proved it as Challenger, Leopard and Abrams tanks--advertised as 'game changers'-- became useless as effective battleground weapons.

    The biggest question mark against conventional warfare has to be aircraft carrier battle groups. In an age of hypersonics, those floating castles will not be able to get near enough to launch fighters without themselves becoming Titanics.

    With this in mind, the idea that the US could somehow 'defend' Taiwan against mainland invasion is absurd. Short of a massive nuclear first strike against the mainland, no one who supports the idea has ever stated clearly how the logistics of that would work. Because they can't.

    The only conclusion is that 'arms packages' are simply corporate welfare to keep the MIC going, with no expectation that there will ever be an actual war between the US and whomever. Certainly the idea of 'boots on the ground' is out of the question, given the sad state of our military. Emma and her two moms aren't going to cut it.

    “conventional military strategy has to be abandoned in the wake of relatively inexpensive ‘drone war’ weapons.”

    If – and it’s a decent sized if – Dragonfire (Brit laser weapon in development) is effective against drones it might change the calcs, as it’s reported to cost £10 a shot – about 12 dollars.

    I’m sure there’ll be countermeasures (smoke?) or that it may not work in the rain.

    Here comes the Navy’s laser fleet
    By Jared Keller | Published Jan 12, 2023 2:25 PM EST

    The Navy has now taken possession of a half-dozen new laser weapons for integration onto surface warships, officials said on Wednesday.

    Speaking at the Surface Navy Association’s annual conference in Virginia about the Navy’s future DDG(X) surface combatant vessel, Rear Adm. Seiko Okano, program executive officer for integrated warfare systems, revealed that the service has now received one High Energy Laser with Integrated Optical-dazzler and Surveillance (HELIOS) weapon system from defense contractor Lockheed Martin, and seven Optical Dazzling Interdictor, Navy (ODIN) systems from Government developers at the Naval Surface Warfare Center in Dahlgren, VA.

    Those systems “are now being integrated onto ships,” as National Defense magazine reported from the SNA conference.

    The Navy has determined that ships need entirely integrated high power systems, that are not on almost any existing ships (there are a few), and will not back fit energy weapons on those older platforms. If something the size of the existing ships don't have the power, I can't see it being provided by a C-130.

    All ballistic missiles are 'hypersonic' or nearly. This buzzword is not understood too well. Something falling out of the sky, with low air resistance, will accelerate to very high speeds. A Minuteman warhead reaches a terminal velocity of about Mach 20 (I think). What is new are warheads that can maneuver at those speeds (Avangard), and cruise missiles that can travel > Mach 6, like Zircon. Reaching a speed of Mach 10 or 13, doesn't require anything exotic. The warhead has to get high enough. Targeting does require something highly technical.

    yes, the u.s. does have minutemen, from 3 decades ago (their last test was a failure), if they want to go that route, the russian will be glad to send their brand new sarmats. what you fail to address is that the u.s. has no “useable” hypersonic missiles such as the russians are using, to demonstrate the huge gap in missile technology, and humiliate our ponzi scheme miic. you dont mention the kinzhal (or dagger to the heart of our corrupt, murderous, military occupation of the world), that reached kiev from crimea in about 4 minutes, taking out their patriot systems, making the hohols scream for more patriots, but what good will that do, when they will receive the same fate in the end.

    This is easy: videos of the proper intercepts were simply classified. The reason for classifying such a thing would be to not give away the technical characteristics of the US missile.

    The more compelling aspects of Postol's work involved the kind of calculations missile designers use to establish the probability of killing a target at a certain speed with a certain radar cross-section. The missile can achieve a certain distance from the target, the fuse goes off and the warhead sprays shrapnel at the target. All these steps are carefully modeled; this was well understood by the 1970s. The US antiballistic missile site was shut down in 1976. This led to the Star Wars Anti-ballistic missile (ABM) heyday during the Reagan era. This was eventually discredited which led in 2002 to the USA dropping out of the ABM Treaty and establishing the Missile Defense Agency to work on more advanced interceptors to take out warheads. This led to US ABM sites in Romania and Poland, starting in 2013. This is directly related to the NATO expansion against Russia which is risking World War 3.

    The Russians are not sacred of these sites. They simply recognize the installations are a dead serious, no kidding declaration of hostile intent by the West against Russia. The sites are a physical confirmation of the very aggressive moves by the USA dropping out of the ABM and other nuclear treaties. Since 1991 the West has been playing push, push, push against Russia. In 2022 they found the line of serious pushback.

    I spend much of the 80s working on missile defense, that is, ICBM defense (Star Wars), and at that time the military was conducing tests by launching an ICBM and then trying to intercept it. Most of the tests ended in failure, and it was my impression that the difficulties in hitting head on a missile travelling at Mach 10 could not be overcome, and I continue to believe that now.

    However, I just searched in the internet for a second and got some conflicting info - a claim that the US did have the 'limited' capability of intercepting ICBMs, and conflicting claims that the Patriot system could intercept ICBMs?

    What capability to intercept high speed ballistic missiles exists?

    Note: ICBMs travel at much higher speeds than hypersonic missiles.

    =I spend much of the 80s working on missile defense=

    I have a friend who did 8 years at FCC Lompoc located in the corner of Vandenberg AFB. Jailbirds were absolutely mesmerized by the ICBM launches. I bet my uneducated a$$ that every FCC Lompoc graduate succeeds in acquiring a PhD in Missile Technology and, when back in da ‘hood, can explain to Lil’ Homies how MIRVs can be MARVed:

    “Each individual nuclear weapon carried aloft by a missile is called an IRV (Independently Targeted Reentry Vehicle). The final stage of the missile’s warhead that goes aloft is called the bus. As it flies through space, the bus fires out IRVs at different targets, or several IRVs at the same target. Since the bus has more than one IRV on board, the missile is said to be MIRVed, or to be a MIRV (Multiple Independently Targeted Reentry Vehicle). If the IRV can maneuver after it enters the atmosphere to better hit its target, the IRV is then known as a MARV (Maneuvering Reentry Vehicle). The MIRVs are then said to have been MARVed. MARVed MIRVs are the next step in accuracy.”

    =Patriot system could intercept ICBMs?=

    No, it can’t. It was not designed for this task.

    There are a limited number of systems worldwide that can intercept intercontinental ballistic missiles:

    -The Russian A-135 anti-ballistic missile system (upgraded in 2017 to A-235)

    -The Israeli Arrow 3 system entered operational service in 2017. It is designed for exo-atmosphere interception of ballistic missiles during the spaceflight portion of their trajectory, including those of ICBMs. It may also act as an anti-satellite weapon.

    -The Indian Prithvi Defence Vehicle Mark 2 has the capability to shoot down ICBMs. It has completed developmental trials and is awaiting the Indian government’s clearance in order to be deployed.

    -The American Ground-Based Midcourse Defense (GMD) system, formerly known as National Missile Defense (NMD), was first tested in 1997 and had its first successful intercept test in 1999. Instead of using an explosive charge, it launches a hit-to-kill kinetic projectile to intercept an ICBM.

    -The Aegis ballistic missile defense-equipped SM-3 Block II-A missile demonstrated it can shoot down an ICBM target on 16 Nov 2020.

    The Russians are the most advanced now at integrating drones into their military doctrine and practical experience. Their ISR and OODA loops are super fast. They can even drop glide bombs accurately, for which there is no defense.

    Russia is going to pummel Ukraine, after the elections the special military operation was upgraded to war. They are not moving back, they are moving forward, and even now many Ukrainian cities are dark due to power plants being hit. The gloves have come off.

    Ukraine is Jew-Kraine, run by international finance capital. The sooner Russia figures that out the better. International Finance Capitalist Oligarchy (Yes many Jews among this type) failed at breaking Russia up into pieces in the 90's, to then attach new international debts.

    It was a special military operation. It has only now been legally updated to a war. Tsars are even more authoritarian than Putin. Putin has to tread carefully to not antagonize the Atlantacist fifth column still in Russia. Russia was broken by the 90's Jew Oligarch invasion. They were attempting to grab all the resources, including Yukos, that way they could take rents forever. If it is good for the tribe!

    It is more than just Jewish, the cousin-hood of finance capital includes London, and diaspora Jews. It is also called the international. The idea is to spread debts and take rents/usury. I guess the predominance of Jews in Jew -Krain government, and the Jewish Oligarchs getting rich on death, is something we should just ignore? Many of the Ukraine lands have already passed to Black-Rock.

    MI6 funded the so called Azov Nazi's after WW2 as a way to antagonize the Soviet Union. Stalin de-jewed the Politburo with the show trials, and doctors plot.

    The story goes that a nuclear warhead (reentry vehicle) is set onto its trajectory when it is dispensed from the warhead bus. From then on it flies ballistically to the target with a predictable trajectory. Once that is defined an interceptor simply has to be directly in front of the warhead at a defined time and place and the kinetic energy in the impact destroys the target (hit to kill). In the past, video has been published of the “energy control” maneuvers required to hit this intercept point at exactly the right time. The intercepter doesn’t really have much flexibility so it may fly these non-intuitive extra maneuvers to nail the intercept. The kill vehicle is obviously very maneuverable to do the final course corrections. I think it took a number of full tests to credibly demonstrate this technology. The existence of the Avangard suggests the Russians believe the US has this capability (see below).

    Since the capability of the intercepter is limited it can reportedly be defeated if the warhead maneuvers gratuitously. The US had this capability, but supposedly only deployed a simple version on the Pershing II reentry vehicle which in turn led to the INF Treaty. The Russians put the apparently more substantial Avangard reentry vehicle into service recently with significant maneuvering capability to defeat US ABM intercepters and retain the balance of power. It probably has enough cross-range capability that the intended target is not clear until the warhead arrives.

    It is known that Iskander and Tochka missiles have been downed in Ukraine, probably by S-300 systems or maybe PAC-3 interceptors. These short range missiles are actually maneuverable but are not as fast as ICBMs. The Iskander uses decoys (shown in debris in Ukraine) which confirms the missile can be intercepted and the decoys are used to reduce the probability of destruction.

    PS: I do not work in this area but have kept up with it for 40 years. This is the publicly known “conventional wisdom”.

    The dollar ended up ahead of both the Ruble and the Euro. US defensive industries finished on a high. Way to go dwarf. A war that kills Orthodox Slavs on both sides will lining the pockets of the US military industrial complex. Some real genius stuff.

    Russia will finish this war with a GDP smaller than Mexico and a higher % of Muslims compared to when they started. They have Europe's largest Muslim population and it will be even larger. Putin has been bringing in Central Asians as labor just like the US brings in Mexicans. Of course you won't learn that on tradcon shows like Tucker Carlson where he dupes his fans into thinking they are some healthy Orthodox state. But not you of course, right?

  • I spend much of the 80s working on missile defense, that is, ICBM defense (Star Wars), and at that time the military was conducing tests by launching an ICBM and then trying to intercept it. Most of the tests ended in failure, and it was my impression that the difficulties in hitting head on a missile travelling at Mach 10 could not be overcome, and I continue to believe that now.

    However, I just searched in the internet for a second and got some conflicting info – a claim that the US did have the ‘limited’ capability of intercepting ICBMs, and conflicting claims that the Patriot system could intercept ICBMs?

    What capability to intercept high speed ballistic missiles exists?

    Note: ICBMs travel at much higher speeds than hypersonic missiles.

    The story goes that a nuclear warhead (reentry vehicle) is set onto its trajectory when it is dispensed from the warhead bus. From then on it flies ballistically to the target with a predictable trajectory. Once that is defined an interceptor simply has to be directly in front of the warhead at a defined time and place and the kinetic energy in the impact destroys the target (hit to kill). In the past, video has been published of the "energy control" maneuvers required to hit this intercept point at exactly the right time. The intercepter doesn't really have much flexibility so it may fly these non-intuitive extra maneuvers to nail the intercept. The kill vehicle is obviously very maneuverable to do the final course corrections. I think it took a number of full tests to credibly demonstrate this technology. The existence of the Avangard suggests the Russians believe the US has this capability (see below).

    Since the capability of the intercepter is limited it can reportedly be defeated if the warhead maneuvers gratuitously. The US had this capability, but supposedly only deployed a simple version on the Pershing II reentry vehicle which in turn led to the INF Treaty. The Russians put the apparently more substantial Avangard reentry vehicle into service recently with significant maneuvering capability to defeat US ABM intercepters and retain the balance of power. It probably has enough cross-range capability that the intended target is not clear until the warhead arrives.

    It is known that Iskander and Tochka missiles have been downed in Ukraine, probably by S-300 systems or maybe PAC-3 interceptors. These short range missiles are actually maneuverable but are not as fast as ICBMs. The Iskander uses decoys (shown in debris in Ukraine) which confirms the missile can be intercepted and the decoys are used to reduce the probability of destruction.

    PS: I do not work in this area but have kept up with it for 40 years. This is the publicly known "conventional wisdom".

    =I spend much of the 80s working on missile defense=

    I have a friend who did 8 years at FCC Lompoc located in the corner of Vandenberg AFB. Jailbirds were absolutely mesmerized by the ICBM launches. I bet my uneducated a$$ that every FCC Lompoc graduate succeeds in acquiring a PhD in Missile Technology and, when back in da 'hood, can explain to Lil' Homies how MIRVs can be MARVed:

    "Each individual nuclear weapon carried aloft by a missile is called an IRV (Independently Targeted Reentry Vehicle). The final stage of the missile's warhead that goes aloft is called the bus. As it flies through space, the bus fires out IRVs at different targets, or several IRVs at the same target. Since the bus has more than one IRV on board, the missile is said to be MIRVed, or to be a MIRV (Multiple Independently Targeted Reentry Vehicle). If the IRV can maneuver after it enters the atmosphere to better hit its target, the IRV is then known as a MARV (Maneuvering Reentry Vehicle). The MIRVs are then said to have been MARVed. MARVed MIRVs are the next step in accuracy."

    =Patriot system could intercept ICBMs?=

    No, it can't. It was not designed for this task.

    https://www.amazon.com/Ballistic-Missile-Technologies-Technology-Assessment/dp/1410202860

    There are a limited number of systems worldwide that can intercept intercontinental ballistic missiles:

    -The Russian A-135 anti-ballistic missile system (upgraded in 2017 to A-235)

    -The Israeli Arrow 3 system entered operational service in 2017. It is designed for exo-atmosphere interception of ballistic missiles during the spaceflight portion of their trajectory, including those of ICBMs. It may also act as an anti-satellite weapon.

    -The Indian Prithvi Defence Vehicle Mark 2 has the capability to shoot down ICBMs. It has completed developmental trials and is awaiting the Indian government's clearance in order to be deployed.

    -The American Ground-Based Midcourse Defense (GMD) system, formerly known as National Missile Defense (NMD), was first tested in 1997 and had its first successful intercept test in 1999. Instead of using an explosive charge, it launches a hit-to-kill kinetic projectile to intercept an ICBM.

    -The Aegis ballistic missile defense-equipped SM-3 Block II-A missile demonstrated it can shoot down an ICBM target on 16 Nov 2020.

    In 1992 Professor Postol managed to make the study of probability much more interesting by analyzing REAL problems. It is so tiresome to read about Polya Urns, Colored Balls and other such similar BS.

    https://www.amazon.com/Duelling-Idiots-Probability-Puzzlers-Princeton/dp/0691155003

    Page 10:

    A far more interesting application of this simple math was reported in the Boston Globe on January 24, 1992 (p. 3), as part of the retrospective analyses then being conducted on the Gulf War. In particular, the Pentagon had gone on record with a claim that the Patriot antiaircraft missile system had "successfully engaged over 80 percent" of the Scud missiles Iraq had launched at Saudi Arabia.

    An MIT physicist, Theodore Postol, disputed that claim; it was a remarkable claim, too, as the Patriot was designed to counter relatively slow manned aircraft, not supersonic ballistic missiles. Postol based his skepticism on what he saw after watching videotapes of fourteen Patriot - Scud engagements. There were thirteen misses and one probable hit. The Globe article ended with this quote from Professor Postol: "What are the odds I would see 13 misses and one hit if the Patriot was successfully shooting down 80 percent of the Scuds?"

    Answer can be obtained by plugging the numbers into MS Excel function BINOMDIST

    Replies: @QCIC

    This is easy: videos of the proper intercepts were simply classified. The reason for classifying such a thing would be to not give away the technical characteristics of the US missile.

    The more compelling aspects of Postol’s work involved the kind of calculations missile designers use to establish the probability of killing a target at a certain speed with a certain radar cross-section. The missile can achieve a certain distance from the target, the fuse goes off and the warhead sprays shrapnel at the target. All these steps are carefully modeled; this was well understood by the 1970s. The US antiballistic missile site was shut down in 1976. This led to the Star Wars Anti-ballistic missile (ABM) heyday during the Reagan era. This was eventually discredited which led in 2002 to the USA dropping out of the ABM Treaty and establishing the Missile Defense Agency to work on more advanced interceptors to take out warheads. This led to US ABM sites in Romania and Poland, starting in 2013. This is directly related to the NATO expansion against Russia which is risking World War 3.

    Postol’s note gives some insight into what has been going on in the Ukraine-Russia conflict for the past couple of years. The Ukrainians claim to shoot down everything, but there is plenty of evidence these claims are overstated.

    Stop making stuff up.

    They have never made that claim and in fact they requested more Patriot systems because they can't shoot everything down.

    I don't see why you even bother commenting on Ukraine. You are clearly unable to process reality and just go into your "sounds good" imaginationland.

    The Ukrainian government has regularly claimed they shot down most Russian drones and missiles in major attacks and sometimes claimed all were destroyed. Maybe this exaggeration has tapered off in the past six months because even gullible types like you and Hack no longer buy it. These claims are refuted by news reports of the damage from the Russian missiles. I was surprised by the Ukrainian successes, even with a big discount factor. My conclusion is they were able to conserve their Tunguska and Tor SAM systems for a long time and also that they have more NASAM-class missile launchers (Western) and AA cannons than is publicly acknowledged. Not to mention that most Russian attacks were somewhat tentative, apparently intended to coax and coerce rather than crush.

    Your link says the Ukies shot down 44 out of 64. This might be possible. My understanding is they are asking for more Patriots to replace systems which have been destroyed or sent back to the depot.

  • @Commentator Mike

    There are many other videos of unengaged ballistic missiles arriving, but all of them cut off before the warheads reach the ground. This is almost certainly due to Israeli classification rules that do not allow the press to publish videos of ground-explosions.
     
    And then we're supposed to believe whatever Israel tells us about the damage these missiles caused on the ground, or about anything, like their 99% interception rate.

    Replies: @Avery

    {… like their 99% interception rate.}

    Most of the clueless, Zombified American public — tax slaves — will believe it.
    Readers of UNZ.com are outliers: nothing like the general American public.
    Prof. Postol’s writings will be deliberately memoryholed by “Them”.

    Back in 2014 — 10 years ago — Postol wrote that the grandiosely named ‘Iron Dome’ (sic) was no more than a few percent effective against even the primitive Palestinian missiles.*

    But the idea is to brainwash the American public that it is supposedly 99% effective, so US — American tax slaves — can continue shoveling untold $ billions into the maw of The Beast.

    Brainwashing works: some members of Congress and other public figures blithely repeat the Israeli manufactured lie of “40 beheaded babies” and the alleged mass rapes by Hamas on Oct 7.

    That did cross my mind but I didn't know Postol wrote about it. And then, imagine the cost of all those Iron Dome missiles fired against the cheap Palestinian rockets, not that Israel pays for it.

    Another laser article, this time from Israel. You need to start reading so you can catch up with modern weapon technology!


    Israel reportedly accelerating deployment of laser aerial defense system
    20 Nov 2023

    With over 10,000 projectiles launched toward Israeli territory, from various factions since the war on Hamas erupted, the Iron Beam would be a game changer

    Israel over the past 15 years developed a sophisticated multi-layered defense system, which has been put into active duty as it faces aerial threats from terror groups such as Hamas, Hezbollah, various pro-Iranian militias in Syria and the Houthis in Yemen.

    Among the recent developments, the "Iron Beam" system from Rafael Advanced Defense Systems has stood out as a major innovation with a high-power laser to intercept rockets, anti-tank missiles, drones and mortar shells.

    More than a hundred Rafael engineers have reportedly been working on this project, considered one of the most significant technological challenges ever faced by the Israeli defense industries, in order to create a fast and effective interception system, with inexhaustible and near cost-free ammunition.

    I am really puzzled by the contradiction between
    1) the claim that most ballistic missiles impacted
    2) the satellite photos showing almost no damage (see:
    https://tribune.com.pk/story/2463720/satellite-images-show-damage-on-israeli-air-base-after-iranian-attack)

    The only significant damage in the satellite pictures of the three sites (Ramon, Hermon, Nevatim) is on the Nevatim runway. That is all!!

    With 120 ballistic missiles fired, and the author claimng most hit Israel, how could the damage be so minimal?

    1) the ballistic missiles, except maybe for the one that hit the runway, did not have explosive warheads (LIKELY, if Iran just wanted to demonstrate hits, not cause damage)

    2) other sites were targeted which are not being revealed (UNLIKELY because the declared mission was to hit targets involved in the April 1 attack)

    3) the ballistic missiles were so imprecise that almost all failed to reach the Ramon/Hermon/Nevatim bases and hit elsewhere (VERY UNLIKELY)

    4) The author is wrong.
