Are you still believing the Iranian propaganda that Mountains create an impossible invasion scenario?(1/3)Drones are disadvantaged in mountainous terrain:>"Taiwan Is a NIGHTMARE for Drones - My Experience": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sMWyFb_UrISummarized:>Land Navigation for infantry is harder>Maintaining line of sight using surveillance is extremely difficult>Micro-wave frequencies make piloting drones extremely difficult>Estimating distance is harder>Weather plays a major factorWeather will play a major factor in Iran. Iran's winters in the mountains are EXTREMELY COLD. This does not bode well for anything battery-powered including drones.>Frequency jamming is very ineffective>Infantry can get FAR closer to drones before drones can confirm ID on target>Re-use and supply of drones is next to IMPOSSIBLE in elevated terrain - Need an entire expeditionary patrol to recover surveillance drones.>Infantry is able to ID drones much faster in mountainous terrainAir dominance will reign supreme, high altitude recon and bombers will be most effective in a serious invasion.. . .
(2/3). . .Iran's terrain is a self-disadvantage:>"Iran's Challenging Geography" (U.S. Naval Institute, 2006): https://www.usni.org/magazines/proceedings/2006/april/irans-challenging-geographySummarized:>Iran's heartland is a flat desert plateau (hot sandbox like Iraq)>Iran's north facing the Caspian and Turkmenistan is mostly flat and temperate>The IRGC would likely resupply through the north using countries bordering the Caspian>The eastern hills are part of a wetter more unpredictable climate including flood plains which would make IRGC or resistance resupply from Afghanistan difficult but not impossible>The coast is disconnected from the other parts of the interior, disallowing inland resupply from sea shipping lanes>Iran does not have enough paved road or railways to connect the whole country>Western mountain passes (Zagros) are incredibly difficult to traverse by vehicle. A sustained conflict inside the country would require resupply efforts from outside the country, for both sides.>North-western Kurdish Tabriz mountain basin would likely be a key area of conflict and or limited resistance>"Iranian rivers are useless for military purposes; only one is navigable and that only for shallow-draft boats">"Population. Iran, like Iraq, is predominantly urban"Our logistics range outside their country is greater than their logistics range inside their own country. Aerial resupply will be a major factor in sustainment.Iran's major cities like Tehran and Qom will be easier to occupy than the remote villages due to infrastructure. Religious nomads camping in the desert plateau and mountains would likely be the last bastions of resistance once the cities are occupied.Afghanistan is far higher in average elevation than Iran:>Afghanistan: 6,180 ft elevation>Iran: 4,280 ft elevationIran is lower in overall elevation and Afghanistan's total elevation changes are far steeper.
how has Persia been conquered so many times if it is unconquerable?

>>530070909>just ground invade Iran, broDude, I'm just not going to have a gunfight in the mountains.
(4/3)Mountains are simply a speedbump to total Iranian capitulation. The vast majority of land in their country is flat. The majority of their population exists in cities.Once the desert interior and coast are occupied, the country will be effectively split in two. Cities acting as their major logistics hubs are next to be occupied, causing a serious constraint on enemy supply.Their multi-ethnic divide will be used to conquer them (Think: Azerbaijani, Kurdish, Turkmen, Arab, Armenian, Georgian, Afghani minorities).The majority of fighting and policing efforts will be done in the Center, East, and North, not the West and South.You should trust me because I've played 2,500 hours of HOI4, 100 war documentaries, and watched 500 hours of war videos on Youtube.

My assessment is flawless.Turns out we wont die for israel, we're just going to live and obliterate iran.
Judging by all these low quality cope threads by Israelis, I can only assume Israel is losing the war. If you were actually winning you'd be bragging about it and showing us. Instead you're crying in your shelter, desperately posting soijaks.

>>530076223Not a kike. I denounce the talmud, the torah and the tanakh.You didn't refute being called a mudslime name so you must be a butthurt mudslime.Seethe.
>>530070909Nobody is saying that mountains make Iranian drones work better lmao. They act as a force multiplier for land mines, small arms, concealed artillery, etc. and limit mobility of attacking armored columns. To get to central Iran where the capital is you still have to go through the terrain, and not just during the initial attack, you need to maintain a continuous logistics train through all that. Afghanistan was a dirt poor country where their most effective weapons were rusty Soviet bolt action rifles and home brewed IEDs slapped together with duct tape, meanwhile Iran has distributed stockpiles of sophisticated shaped charge land mines and man portable HEAT guided missiles with defensive positions thoroughly dug in all along every potential axis of invasion.
>>530076593>a kike couldnt say he denounces the talmudmore semitic iq manipulationnow im 110% convinced youre a kike>didnt refute being a muzziei never go on the defensive, kikeyou can shove your pilpul into your neovagina
>>530077576>uhm ACKTSHUALLY denouncing the talmud is... JEWISH!!!Wow, according to you it's impossible to hate muslims and kikes at the same time. So braindead.
>>530078250didnt say thatnow im 112% convinced+ youre retardedso make it 114%yesfor memental retard = kike niggerbc like i mentioned, your shitskin levels of iqhave you tried not being inbred?
>>530070909>>530070982>>530071035You’re right in that it’s an overstated advantage, especially against America, remember they occupied afghanstan in two days and it has harsher terrain.The terrain angle comes in handy when fending off ground invasions with tanks and massed infantry, the ground troops would only constitute a component of the US invasion force.That said, no matter how easy or difficult it will be to invade on the ground, to occupy the country you need numbers, no less than 500k and probably 1 million, for that you need allies and a draft, both are looking difficult, and time is on Iran’s side. You are reliant on the global financial system that will be collapsing if the strait is closed, they’re not.
>>530078545you forget thata) iranians arent just a bunch of goat herders.theyre a bunch of goat herders with ballistic missiles and remote controlled sentry guns and suchb) they've been digging tunnels under their mountains for 35 yearsa ground war will be a cross bw afghanistan and vietnam.and the usa lost bothi bet its gonna be an absolute goygrinder
>>530078545It’s not just a matter of terrain, it’s also a matter of distance. Armored columns and their logistics trains through rough terrain are far more vulnerable as they get stretched longer.
