Former CIA Officer Says Iran Can Sink a U.S. Carrier — Is He Right?

Posted on by Lone Candle

Iran could hit a US carrier with a hypersonic missile, but hitting a moving carrier and not getting shot down while the missile itself it moving and partially blinded by the plasma created by its extreme speeds…is very difficult, and it’s not clear how many of these missiles Iran has, or if they work.

The US is stretched between Iran and Taiwan, partly because of navy resources used to quarantine Venezuela.

US wins against Russian and Chinese air defenses in other countries may risk teaching the wrong lessons

Posted on by Lone Candle

“While the US can draw a certain degree of confidence in its capabilities from the success of the mission, there’s a risk of reading too much into that success, especially when it comes to weapons made by American rivals in the hands of other militaries.

Some of the failures of the Venezuelan-operated foreign air defenses, for example, have been attributed to issues like inactivity, incompetence, and a dearth of functional cohesion between different systems.

Wins in Venezuela during Operation Absolute Resolve or in operations against Iranian-operated Russian-made air defenses may not translate the same in fight with Russia or China.”

UK’s DragonFire Weapon Just Made Drones Completely USELESS

Posted on by Lone Candle

Anti-drone lasers can help take down drones for much cheaper than missiles, but have limitations, including: needing line of sight, not working as well in certain weather conditions, possibly having trouble with drones made of laser resistance materials, and having trouble targeting maneuvering drones in the real world.

Russia Does NOT Want You to Know the Truth About Their Nukes

Posted on by Lone Candle

Putin doesn’t want to use nuclear weapons. If he did, he risks the destruction of his country. Putin, like the Soviet Union in history, uses nuclear weapons as bluster to threaten countries whose leaders and people believe the likelihood of Russia using nukes is higher than it is. Trump is scared. He’s happy to use or threaten military force against countries without nukes, but Russia invades its neighbor in a war of conquest while committing many atrocities, and Trump is obsessed with peace, even, at times, weakening support to Ukraine to appease Putin. Letting Russia gain things with nuclear threats increases the incentive for other countries to get nukes, and one of those countries may be more willing to actually use them.
