If you have money to donate there are public funds to supply drones etc. I can see if I can find the links if you like?

I agree its not the same situation but there are ways to do it if there wasn't the NATO vs Russia issues. There could easily be a few dozen Reaper drones over Kyiv at any one time, with there speed they wouldn't intercept everything but would provide some decent coverage.

I agree it’s certainly not the way to do things, but for this it may actually make Ukraine’s funding bill easier to pass as it removes the issues of Israel being unpopular due to pretty much genocide. Means those that were apprehensive about voting to fund Isreal but wanted to fund Ukraine...

In what way? Had a search this morning and other than the bill being split out to per country it’s still going ahead. I think this is more to do with making the Democrats look bad on an Israel vote.

I think it will take a lot more than 2 of them :(. that being said. fingers crossed...

I do agree with the sentiment but They were at most firing rockets at drones. Not flying over enemy territory or directly engaging enemies combatants. But If this conflict expands we probably would be directly involved in a big way. By intercepting them we were doing our part to try to...

Can’t see it but looks like some back channels maybe in action.

While I agree with the sentiment of this. The risk of massive regional escalation was too much of a risk to have not got involved I fear.

I don’t know the same way you don’t know. I just pointed out the fact the 1 hit we know about was a military base is telling tho. Need to wait for more info if we ever get any.

No it’s not. You said they attempted to kill civilians. I asked how you knew. Targeting Civilians and accidental collateral damage are very different things. Targeting implies intent to kill civilians. They absolutely put civilians at risk. But no evidence it was targeted.

Has to be said I’m not convinced by the balistic numbers yet. Will give it some time for things to level off number wise. From a quick google Israel has 26 arrow interceptors to take down ballistic missiles. If they did fire 110 I’d have expected a lot more hits. Unless the US managed to take...

how do you know what Iran were targeting? The only target that got hit was a military base. Suggests that military bases were targets not civilians.

I don’t think they “needed” the allies to be fair. From some calculations I did the other day after Hezbollah fired some missiles, Iron Dome currently has capacity for about 600 intercept shots before being reloaded. Not including jets in the air and other anti air stuff they have. Feels...

Clearly a big show with little intent. A face saving exercise with maybe a message in there with the airbase that got hit. Wouldn’t surprise me at all if it was an iron Dome unit that got hit but no pics of the damage that I have seen. The question is will Israel take the matter as done or...

With iron dome Israel are in a good place to defend themselves from them but I have no idea how many missiles are ready to fire at any one time. It would get exhausted at some point. Edit. They have 10 batteries. Each battery has 3 or 4 launchers. Each launcher has 20 missiles.

My hunch is this is a distraction and probably using iron dome missiles up ready for an Iran missile attack. Was 40 missiles by all accounts.

Thanks. No rush. Had a busy week so may have missed something :)

We have not given some of our best missiles for the same reason. its pretty much the main reason ( given reason ) why the west has only supplied 30 odd year old B grade tech.

Got any links about the Aid? need to read what its meaning.
