>>65035636you lose tranny.
Because we could. And we did.Decoys are ment to be destroyed. We don't have a shortage of firepower.
>>65035649>We don't have a shortage of firepower.
>>65035649>Decoys are ment to be destroyedYeah, meant to be destroyed because they waste the "enemy's" (our) ammunition and time. Effectively we did exactly what the Iranians wanted, and then posted a highlight reel of us doing so.
>>65035649you could've destroyed it with something less expensive than a missile, considering that they're harmless inflatables. >but we have them hurr durrwasting missiles still makes you look like a retard
>decoyIdk man, that's a weird looking duck
>>65035649Nah nigger, you thought it was a real SAM and you blew it thinking you were taking down a critical enemy asset. That's why you filmed it, you dumb retard. And you still try to save face by saying that you knew it was a fucking balloon and wanted to pop it regardless. I wouldn't be surprised if you're a russian cause that's exactly the kind of face saving mental gymnastics they use in their delusions. If you're american, just admit you fucked up and move on.
>Listen here you two Big Blumpf has ordered me to reform the military which means you ll do it>Yessss saaaar i will bring top hindoo talent to us military>I can give you top tier ai>Okay mandeeeep search me some target yes saaaaaaar>Claude says thats a 100% worthy target atttttttacckk
>>65035636>US spends a Hellfire(Cost - 150,000 USD FY2021)>Precisely hit an SA-6 launcher that probably has been decommissioned and out of order>Thirdies cheer for victory
>>65035636if they let decoys sit around unbothered you'd end up with looney tunes shit like them welding missile mounts on canted and shooting down planes
that was probably bait for the reaper imo.
>>65035705The video shows that the supposed SA-6 is armed with missiles, however there isn't an explosions which indicate that, ergo the missiles were fake, which indicates most likely the SA-6 system was also fake that is a decoy. If ukies can do decoys why can't iranians? Denying this is brown/russian behavior.
>>65035654>>We don't have a shortage of firepowerCorrect. This war has been nothing but a demonstration of pure shock and awe.
>>65035676The moment Trump betrayed Elon MAGA has been going down hill.
>>65035661Just stop retard, Iran has wasted a lot more on bullshit.
Again, what does a decoy actually do? I've asked this before but nobody actually replies. During WW2, a magician was hired by the British army to use his skills of illusion and misdirection. He created entire fake armies in Africa and other sneaky shit to trick the greatest general in Germany to attack in quicksand and the wrong area and as such, the British kicked them out of Africa (or at least, ended their chance of taking it). This involved using decoys and radio transmissions and moving shit and so on and so on. This achieved a goal.How does Iran painting aircraft on the ground (or producing AI videos showing you doing it so you can claim any aircraft destroyed is a decoy) or making mock-up missile launchers or whatever ACTUALLY help? How does this, like the British army in Africa, lead to a battlefield victory? The British used decoys to trick the Germans into an attack that led them to losing the battle and achieving a significant strategic victory. Iran having the USA blow up decoys doesn't actually achieve anything other than making the USA use up weapons to do it. Can somebody explain what the overall goal of these decoys are, again, in comparison to my example during WW2. How do decoys and fakes and so on lead to ultimate victory for Iran?
>>65035661>considering that they're harmless inflatables.Quite the assumption
>>65035649>mentESL moment. Meant, retard.
>>65035727Potemkin strategy. When your enemy hits a decoy its a morale boost in a way.
>>65035713>FakeMore like out of order and decommissioned for a while. Do you you think this is some sort of gotcha moment ? the operators who attacked it know it, the intel guys who processed the early images and marked it knew it. I know, (you) brown and retarded as you are know it.So what are you gloating about ? that they attacked it because they could ?
>>65035741>Your enemy is able to kill everything and anything it sees with impunity >Moral boost
>>65035727It doesnt. But they do help them lose their actual assets a tiny bit slower. US should also use decoys - dont they?
>>65035727you can use decoys to maneuver opfor assets and unmask them or get them to expend munitions on nothing and waste a sortie.using passive or active decoys is a good way to set up sam ambushes.
>>65035746But you see anon they destroyed a decoy, we fooled the Great Satan!
>>65035713>>65035705Since when did Iran have 2K12 Kub? Iraq had them, Iran has never used them.
>>65035727>How does Iran painting aircraft on the ground (or producing AI videos showing you doing it so you can claim any aircraft destroyed is a decoy) or making mock-up missile launchers or whatever ACTUALLY help?It's elementary my dear Watson, when you have tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of realistic life-life military decoys scattered around a huge country the size of western Europe, then it helps exhausts the enemies supply of missiles and bombs of useless targets and also divides the attention of their ISR complex between decoys and real targets and missiles launchers etc on the move.Iran reportedly bought hundreds of thousands of cheap military decoys from China in the preceding months before the conflict. This is especially a problem for the US, as its long-range standoff precision weapons are limited in inventory, expensive and slow to produce and require RE minerals China is tightening the nozzle on, while there is still enough of a threat from Iranian anti-air that the US cannot consistently drop short-range bombs wherever it wants but has been heavily relying on stand-off weaponry for the entire month of the war.
>>65035762>We're now in the fanfic part of the war
>>65035748Right but, again, how does this achieve ULTIMATE victory? If you've got two holes in your bucket and you plug one hole up, you still got a hole. How do you stop the water leaving? Yes, decoys have a use but decoys have to be used in combination with something else in order to achieve victory, again, I used a very good example. I can go even further and use the D-Day 'fake armies' the British did to further support the idea that yes, decoys are wonderful, but they aren't useful on their own. >>65035749You can, but Iran isn't. If the USA was losing multiple aircraft per sortie due to them hitting decoys and being caught in 'ambushes' then you could argue this has a value, it won't achieve ultimate victory like I wanted answered, but it will possibly make USA go 'this is too expensive, we're out'. But I'm not seeing that. I see decoys get clapped and nothing else happening.>>65035762Okay but if the USA was using air assets doing this, then all you're doing is hoping that they run out of ammo before you run out of decoys. But you use decoys to PRESERVE your ACTUAL assets, if they're already gone or decimated enough that they are no longer combat effective, then the decoys do nothing. If the decoys were being destroyed and Iran now launches hundreds of missiles and aircraft and such at the US carrier fleets and sinks them, sure, that's a good use of decoys. But I'm not seeing that. I am seeing decoys get hit by a missile and this being championed as a great victory. But I see no actual victory, I see a munition being used up on something with one side hiding in bunkers and hoping that the other side gets bored.
>>65035762you should really ask your handlers for updated talking points.>>65035758Apparently they got like 4 batteries back in the late 90s.
>>65035767>>We're now in the fanfic part of the warThere are demonstrable videos published by CENTCOM themselves hitting decoys lmaoNothing in that account is fan-fiction, it simply gives a factual account of how military decoys help in practice in a real-life conflict, and gives an example of how it could pose a significant issue depending on the scale Iran is deploying them on. Nobody really knows how many Iran is deploying though, we only have unverified reports in the media about the purchase AFAIK. But you would have to be stupid to downplay the fact that decoys can in fact be meaningfully helpful and arguable far return their investment in a war when you account for how even 1 in 10 decoy that is struck may help (by taking the bomb itself) avoid the destruction of something that cost 5-20 million $ or more. Just because Iran is deploying them doesn't mean you should abandon objective analysis. Both Russia and Ukraine in their war have deployed decoys and both evidently find them to be useful and worthwhile.
>>65035762Why didnt Iran start out with decoys before 90% of their real shit was destroyed?
>>65035794The US is hitting decoys. That being true doesn't justify all the fanfiction you're writing about what it means.
>>65035727They could fuck up the counting of destroyed targets which is used for operational planning if they are hitting decoys. Let's say Iran has 100 of [insert AA system] and the US knows it. If Iran successfully makes the US destroy 80 of the real ones and 20 decoys AND trick them into believing they destroyed the real thing then the US is going to think all of them have been destroyed when in reality there's still 20 left, which can be used for suprise attacks on easy targets such as A-10s or B-52s after the US now believes all threats to their air power have been destroyed and move beyond the SEAD/DEAD phase.
>>65035783>then all you're doing is hoping that they run out of ammo before you run out of decoys. No offensive, but that's factually untrue. The Iranians are not just "hoping the US runs out of ammo before they run out of decoys", they are rather simultaneously deploying decoys as one of multiple defensive counter-measures while take going on the offensive by striking at US bases and in particular air-bases all around the region, thus interfering with the US bombing campaign and reducing the number of US air sorties by requiring the US to operate from airbases further and further away and relying heavily on air-to-air-refueling.That's why the US just lost E3 AWACS and refueling planes at Prince Sultan the other day, because even in order to continue the current tempo they have to operate planes at air bases within risk of Iranian missiles and thereby expose them to strikes. Reportedly even right now, there are still planes at Prince Sultan, just spaced out from each other every several hundred yards or so. The end result of all this is that the reduced number of US air sorties means the US cannot bomb Iranian missile and drone production sites faster than the Iranians can repair and build them, especially considering practically the entire North-East of the country has been untouched due to being out of range. The analyst Policy Tensor on X has done the math on this btw and he says with the reduced sorties there is no hope of eliminating productive capacity. >But I see no actual victory, I see a munition being used up on something with one side hiding in bunkers and hoping that the other side gets bored.Iran wins simply by surviving and keeping its toll-regime on everything passing through the straights in place permanently, both of which look likely at this point. The US cannot just keep bombing indefinitely (it cost a billion $ and congress needs to approve more funds) and the Admin is already signaling a exist.
>people think you dont have to blow up decoysYou do because if you leave them untouched it only saturates the area and tips the ratio of decoy:realIt is inevitable they will be destroyed.
>>65035783At the end of the day, Iran's theory of victory relies upon the US's political will faltering before Iran collapses in some way. Anything that buys Iran more time or causes direct or indirect damage to the US's will to pursue an expensive and questionably useful war improves Iran's chance of a victory. Each decoy helps in this by tricking the US into bombing something other than the IRGC personnel that help keep the regime in power, and thus delaying the collapse of Iran by one sortie worth of time. With enough decoys, this translates into a lot of bought time for all the other stuff Iran is doing to inflict pain on the US and break its political will to take effect.Whether or not Iran's theory of victory ends up succeeding remains to be seen, but there is some legitimate logic to it. More logic than the US's plan, which seems to be to bomb Iran until they roll over and give the US whatever they want, despite that strategy literally never working in the past. That said, regardless of whose plan is less retarded, we're likely in this for the long haul no matter how many times Trump asserts that it will all be over in two weeks.
>>65035783Iran doesnt plan or fight to win in the traditional sense. The regime fights to stay in power once US decides its time to stop bombing leave for whatever reason.
>>65035795>Why didnt Iran start out with decoys before 90% of their real shit was destroyed?The percentage of Iran's total inventory of missiles launchers that are reported by CENTCOM, the Admin and Israel to have been destroyed are imaginary numbers conjured out of thin air, and the claimed percentages have actually started to decrease (at first they said 90% now they are saying less) in recent weeks. In reality they have no idea what Iran's total numbers of launchers are, as they have no idea how many are hidden underground. They don't even know the extent of the damage at some of the underground missile bases, and some of these underground 'missile cities' have been observing continuing to launch missiles even after being bombed multiple times.

>>65035783>Okay but if the USA was using air assets doing this, then all you're doing is hoping that they run out of ammo before you run out of decoys.Stupid take.

>>65036006>Too dim witted to realize he self goaled
>>65035727In a military effect: makes your enemy waste/endanger resources to hit it, possibly allows you to relocate the real asset if needed.As propaganda: allows followers on social media to write off ANY losses as decoys, so they can claim your real force will appear any day now. Because this war is largely just competing sides of liars and dogmatic shills.
>>65035636Sounds like Iran is I-running out of usable missiles.>n-no, it was a decoy!lmao, whatever, Copey McDudslinger.
It’s been a few weeks since the last decoy cope
>>65035783>I see decoys get clapped and nothing else happening.Thats because you are an idiot and probably an american too. American optempo is running off stored guided muntions, once these are gone, the american optempo is going to drop a lot. F.ex 60 tomahawks produced per year, 800+ spent in 4 weeks. And JASSM. And everything else. And once the JDAMs are running low, its back to dumb freefall bombs. And every JDAM consumes 1 pound of rare earths to save a tiny amount of weight on a 2000+ pounder. You are obviously not an engineer, but America cant start mass produce the guided muntions it currently uses because they consume too much of difficult to source rare basic elemets, meaning that they have to be redesigned first to minimize the use of such elements. Sure, there are grand plans to increase production, by 2028. Or 2029. Until then, its well, uh, maybe, our euro paypigs can lend us back some of the weapons we sold to them a couple of years ago.
>>65036586Theyve been using guided bombs for a while now, and they have thousands of those
>>65035984The new Iranian tolling booth is already open? Major win for US of A.
>>65035743>decommissioned missiles put back on the launcherIncredible cope
>>65036593Long term that just encourages Irans neighbors to build a pipeline, it definately doesnt make Iran look good.
>>65035783>decoys won't single-handedly win a warTruly you are a strategic genius
>>65036774Wow a pipeline that takes ten years to build and can get destroyed in a single second. Can you stop trying to make me mad with your retardation?
>>65036801How is pissing off everyone good for Iran?
>>65036806How is it good for the US, or Israel for that matter? The US spent the last two years intentionally threatening and pissing off their allies, and now desperately ask for him where none will come. Why not anon, aren't we all like super pissed off at Iran?
>>65036813ask for help*
>>65036813Iran pissing off everyone around it is good for Israel and the US obviously as it means Iran has no allies.
>>65036828Stop changing the topic shill.
>>65036839Calm down shill, you wont save Iran by melting down.
>>65036841Is abandoning Ukraine a good idea? Is threatening your allies a good idea?
>>65036844Again with the gish gallop. You get paid by the post or are you doing this for free?
>>65036846You never told me how Iran wins by pissing off everyone you just started seething and ranting.
>>65036848One last chance: is abandoning Ukraine and NATO a good idea?
>>65036846Iran is buds with Russia lmao
>>65036849I hope they pay you by the post for this sloppy work. You wont tell us how Iran wins by attacking everyone around it long term.
>>65036856Oh no an Iranian shill is throwing random shit hoping it works online as well. Too bad no one cares.
>>65036856Yeah we're such good buddies with Russia we keep stealing their oil tankers
>>65035978Could Iran take out a few AI data centers before a peace deal is reached? That would be great. Tech companies losing billions in investment can help slow down the AI slop for a minute.

>>65036870Iran would never target their own propaganda infrastructure
>>65036888>Iran would never target their own propaganda infrastructureThey'll be using Chinese AI.
umm third world pol sisters its getting hard to pretend iran is winning
>>65036970The new cope is that America is jist like Russia (Not at all but Europe please help you dont like Russians right we called Americans Russians please oh god the Americans are fucking us over)
>>65035636There aren't any secondaries, but it doesn't look like a decoy, at least not an inflatable one. The solid chunks flying off look heavy enough to be metal and certainly aren't indicative of a giant balloon popping.
>>65036987PLEASE EUROPE I CALLED A YANKEE A ZIGGER PLEASE HELP US AAAAAAAAAA IM GONNA BOMB MY NEIGHBORS AGAIN

>>65037007Is threatening to annex fellow NATO countries a good idea and strategic? Why won't you answer buddy, are you feeling okay?
>>65037023Is this going to make anyone more sympathetic towards Iran?
>>65036987you know I can want us to bomb the shit out of iran and also support ukraine right? you know we arent a monolith right?
>>65035705>spends a Hellfire>when you can watch frame by frame and see it's either a SDB or regular JDAM>not even one of the good ones since no glide kit and it's using simple laser guidance instead of GPS kitProbably only cost like 20 to 30k, which is still a bit of a waste but does do the job of showing any potential SAM operators in Iran exactly what'll happen to them if they crawl out of their tunnels. You can also watch the last couple of frames and make out the steelworks of the SAM are still present, which suggests that while the missiles may be fake, either the vehicle is a real SAM or a high effort enough fake it's worth destroying to not have it mis-ID'ed in the future, and not a cheap inflatable decoy.
>>65037068The vehicle chassis is also unmoved. Whatever it is , it's very heavy, certainly not something inflatable or made of plywood.
>>65037058You're not supporting Ukraine and you can't even bring yourself to admit you're not. You will not engage with anything I'm saying.1. Why is your country abandoning Ukraine? Is it a good idea?2. Why is abandoning NATO and threatening allies good? 3. Why is upending the global economy good for anyone?
>>65037092im not the one that signs off on the manifest for what gets put in the c17s thanks for understanding
>>65037098You're the one that gets to type out his own thoughts here for everyone to see, but you won't because you're a cowardly retard.Zero thoughts in that skull, completely empty.
>>65037092Bringing up Ukraine wont save Iran.
>>65037111are you a bot just designed to be combative? i told you what I think. unfortunately i am not the president of the united states and you should stop acting like it lmao
>>65037117When the Iran shills/discordfags start losing, they switch to insults.
>>65037068you can see the laser designator flashing, so it has to be something laser guided, dosent look like a paveway so its either a Hellfire or a GBU-54
>>65036980It's clearly not a balloon, you can see something substantial burning in the aftermath. I think the idea is that Iran is towing out all of their unserviceable garbage to soak up air strikes, but I don't see why that equipment wouldn't be worth air striking anyway.
>>65037128its fine i dont mind them venting, i know its because theyre losing badly (on two fronts lmao). it must be frustrating leaving their thirdie hugbox and having to face reality
>>65036978>The new cope is that America is jist like RussiaRussia has been saying that for a few years.>trust us bro, we're just like you>we like screwing over poor countries like you tooIt's like they took the USSR propaganda about USA (which was kind of half-true most of the time), really drank the koolaid and assume that USA also believes that about themselves.So now that they're really living up to what they always accused the USA as, they expect that USA will see them as just like them.I guess it's a kind of >notice me sempaiWhen Russia isn't being a geopolitical incel, they're being a geopolitical yandere.
>>650370921. Ukraine isn't abandoned. It seems to be holding its own with current Euro support just fine.2. NATO isn't abandoned. There have been complaints about some countries not meeting obligations for their own defense, which are finally being corrected. Trump talks like a retard about stuff.3. Is the global economy upended, though?
>>65037151>>65036970
>>65036980>There aren't any secondaries>>65037133>I think the idea is that Iran is towing out all of their unserviceable garbage to soak up air strikes,I think it's clear that those aren't real missiles on top.There's no way you smoke it like that without the solid fuel rocket motors doing something conspicuous.
>>65037152Then why did Trump not 20 hours ago go on the TV to seethe more about the unopened strait and how NATO needs to go away because they won't help?
>>65037158Hes been saying that for 8 years. Shill harder, maybe someone will care.
>>65037131There are laser guidance kits for SDBs, though I'm not up to date on whether they've moved from testing to adopting them for field use, but that shape is almost certainly not a Hellfire and it's coming in from directly vertical, which also supports it being a gravity bomb of some sort, all of which means that it's pretty much the lowest cost solution in the USAF armory, and cost differences between the various versions being small enough that it's impossible to say which one would have been marginally more effective given the cost per flight hour and whatever else the plane hit on it's tasking. We can quibble about exactly which one it is without any real definitive answers, but it doesn't change the fundamental point being made either way.

It's cheaper to just blow it up than to constantly reverify that it hasn't been replaced with a real launcher, and unlike a balloon they can't just make an infinite number of them for $100 apiece.

It's cheaper to just blow it up than to constantly reverify that it hasn't been replaced with a real launcher, and unlike a balloon they can't just make an infinite number of them for $100 apiece.I'm sure that that wasn't the only bomb dropped on that sortie so yeah, it's worth Iran doing it, especially if it's time for an actual launch that they want protected.It's also worth US dropping something on it, just for confirmation that it's definitely not a launcher now, whatever it was before.The NRO being what they are, I think the US probably can know whether it's a real vehicle or not, they'd have watched it drive to its position from a depot or tunnel or something.

>>65040969figuring out who paid iran and who didnt is not some profound mystery. plenty of ships are going through the normal shipping route with and without AIS
>>65035636Because they're retards like Hegseth.
>>65035727Waste time and airframe hours while exposing a plane to AA fire. It works because pilots stressed about getting shot (and not getting to fly again) will just bomb anything vaguely target shaped and return to base.
>Muh cost>Mah ROI>cheap dronesYou faggots parrot the same thing in every thread, acting like this war is some kind of economic formula that the sand niggers have cracked. You think USA gives a fuck that we dropped a million dollar bomb on a decoy? We can afford it. Hell, it keeps people employed - we’ll just make more. And everyone will keep buying them from us.This isn’t a business. One side doesn’t just quit because their balance sheet is out of whack. I’m glad that the only thing you have to cheer about is where we drop our bombs - because the enemy doesn’t have much of anything left to drop. But we can bomb them for days on end, or just drop a couple of bombs and have all this be over in an hour. Keep that in mind while you keep little for the “victories” where you can. Some people are so far behind in the race that they actually think they’re leading.
>>65038546Not that surprising. Pisslamics sold the data themselves for quick cash
>>65041637Breaking windows so you can fix them is not productive economic activity. This is the war economy.
>>65041637>million dollar bombIt was a $30k LJDAM 500 pounder. That's about what it costs to fly a F-15 for an hour. We save the high dollar standoff munitions for peer adversaries. Apparently they're not required here.

>>65035649>We don't have a shortage of firepower.>plz give us 1.5 trillion to replenish the firepower we dont have a shortage of
>>65037077It does look like a decoy though. Perhaps one of the more expensive ones that has an engine inside to generate a heat signature?
>>65035636>missile crookedit's facing up in a launch position you moron.>No secondaries or cook offsSource? Since this clip ends immediately after the hit.
>>65043666>it's facing up in a launch positionive never seen a photo of a sa6 that has only 1 missile raised in launch position. its always a set of 3.
>>65035649This is such insane cope that it has to be a false flag. Actually, given my experience in the American education system, I retract my statement. Entirely believable that this is someone's actual unfiltered dogshit take.
>>65035713>there isn't an explosions which indicate that, ergo the missiles were fakeor it was time-expired, like 80% of the Soviet-era shit Iran has
>>65035762Call 112 pidor
>>65044139You have to go back
>>65036004Toropets'd.
>>65035649>Decoys are ment to be destroyed.
>>65044202>>65044202
>>65035727it wastes the enemies resourcesyou never want to hit a decoy.you want to see them, know they are a decoy, then communicate that it is a decoy to everybody else so that no weapons are used destroying something that isnt a target.or so that if/when a ground invasion happens/advances to the area the decoy is in ground forces can remove the decoy so it doesnt get seen in the future and possibly being a false positive wasting even more time and money.it is literally never a good thing to time and money destroying a decoy.and certainly not boasting that you did so.because it means that either you didnt know it was a decoy because you are retarded or you did and still wastes time and money blowing it up because you are a retard.
>>65035783>If you've got two holes in your bucket and you plug one hole up, you still got a hole.this is bait.
>>65047149You hit it with decoy bombs.
>>65035636Is the missile supposed dislodged and sticking its nozzle directly into the path of another one like that?
