Wow! There must take at least 10 people to fly that F-35! It obviously has been dropping GBU-57As on the hapless Iranians.
Hahaha. You have a great mind. Thx for the morning smile.
They definitely put the “special “ in special forces
And yet they post it for all to see😂

It is fascinating that the Israelis can gain air superiority over Iran in days and thousand plus kilometers away, and 3+ years into pitins SVO the Russians with a vastly larger Air Force still have to hide behind their borders and can’t protect their assets🤔

[ French Hammer Bombs Obliterate Russian Bases! ]
Today [ June 14 ], there are a lot of interesting updates from Ukraine. Here, Ukrainian forces are unleashing a wave of precision strikes supplied for by the French arms industry - obliterating Russian positions, command posts, and troop concentrations with deadly accuracy. In response to their success, France is sending its entire production of these guided bombs this year straight to Ukraine, doubling Ukraine’s monthly supply and escalating the pressure on Russian forces.
French Army General Nicolas Richoux recently stated that sanctions alone are not enough to bring Russia to the negotiating table. According to him, the only realistic path to a ceasefire, or any negotiated peace, requires the West to deliver large-scale military assistance to Ukraine. Other officials agreed and reiterated that the only way to reach peace and deter Russia further is by arming Ukraine to the teeth, by any means necessary.
France has provided over €8 billion in military aid since the start of the war, including advanced systems like the AASM-guided bombs, which have proven highly effective on the battlefield. Combat footage from the battlefield reveals how the Hammer-guided bombs rarely miss, which is why the Ukrainians used them to great effect to strike and demolish Russian command posts, force concentration, and control points for Russian drone operators.
In Bakhmut, Ukrainians hit such an exact Russian command post of the Third Army Corps in a high-rise building, eliminating the high-level commanders, and delaying the already slow assaults in the Chasiv Yar area. In Kursk, Ukrainian first started bombing buildings in Tyotkino where Russian drone operators were stationed. They then expanded their operations by striking against Russian strongpoints and fortifications concealed in the tree lines in the border area, scoring direct impacts, and destroying the strongholds. The most significant Ukrainian strikes targeted and destroyed large Russian forces concentrations in Guyevo, using drones to detect them and then relay information to fighter jets, destroying Russian forces that were preparing for an assault in Sumy.
In coordination with the reconnaissance teams, the Ukrainian Air Force also struck concealed positions of Russian drone operators deep in the rear, effectively eliminating a big part of the Russian drone threat. The Ukrainian precision bomb strikes in Kursk against Russian forces’ concentrations, command posts, and drone operators are aimed at thwarting the Russian summer offensive in this area, eliminating their forces in the rear, before they organize for attacks, and undermining their drone support.
The Ukrainian Air Force has also been very active in Zaporizhia, launching a destructive series of strikes against the Russian units. Geolocated combat footage reveals how the Ukrainians identified and destroyed multiple buildings at once where Russian drone operators were hiding, outmatching the operators completely. Here, Ukrainians also did not miss Russian forces’ concentrations, destroying large numbers of the little reserves Russians have stationed here.
Lastly, they hit a series of Russian command posts, cutting the head off the snake in Russian attempts to revitalize an offensive in Zaporizhia. The effectiveness of AASM Hammer bombs only increased their demand among Ukrainian Air Force personnel, who praised them for their precision and effectiveness, and urged the French to deliver more of them. Given the excellent results, French officials stated that they will produce over 1,200 AASM Hammer guided bombs this year, and will send all of them to Ukraine.
The AASM Hammer is a modular kit that turns standard 125 to 1,000 kilogram bombs into precision-guided weapons. It combines a nose-mounted guidance system with added wings on the tail and a solid-fuel booster to give it a range of up to 70 km from fighter jets, while still being deadly accurate, allowing Ukraine to hit Russian targets precisely while staying out of the range of Russian air defenses.
Using a combination of GPS, infrared, and inertial navigation, it maintains high accuracy even in bad weather or under jamming, meaning that once it’s launched, Russians can do nothing to stop it from connecting with its target.
Overall, the Ukrainian forces intensified their air strikes against the Russians ever since the recent delivery of French AASM Hammer-guided bombs, with up to 30 visually confirmed bomb strikes against Russian forces confirmed in the last month alone. The recently announced increase in production and delivery is doubling the bomb supply to Ukrainians, which will simultaneously double the Russian losses inflicted by them.
The Ukrainians utilized Hammer bombs to strike Russian forces concentrations - all of which
usually contain a full unit or company of at least 10 to 50 soldiers. Meaning that the newly announced delivery of 1,200 French bombs could wipe out from 6 to 30,000 Russian soldiers, including key officers in the rear areas capabilities that will possibly play a crucial role in the repelling of the Russian summer offensive.

Such a glider can have a small engine of its own for flight and maneuvering in the final section, and also carries another warhead. Thus, at the expense of one drone, another is delivered to the target, which, after uncoupling, plans independently.

I don’t think Israel wants to stop...
“Iran has been urgently signaling that it seeks an end to hostilities and resumption of talks over its nuclear programs, sending messages to Israel and the U.S. via Arab intermediaries, Middle Eastern and European officials said.
In the midst of a ferocious Israeli air campaign, Tehran has told Arab officials they would be open to returning to the negotiating table as long as the U.S. doesn’t join the attack, the officials said. They also passed messages to Israel saying it is in the interest of both sides to keep the violence contained.
But with Israeli warplanes able to fly freely over the capital and Iranian counterattacks inflicting minimal damage, Israeli leaders have little incentive to halt their assault before doing more to destroy Iran’s nuclear sites and further weaken the theocratic government’s hold on power.
Israeli strikes have killed key military leaders, including much of the top echelon of Iran’s air force, leaving Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei increasingly isolated. But the impact on nuclear facilities has been modest and analysts say it could take a long air war to get the results Israel wants.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said the attacks will continue until Iran’s nuclear program and ballistic missiles are destroyed, and he has shown no indication he is ready to stop. He has also said regime change isn’t a goal but could be a result given the Iranian leadership’s weakness.
Israeli officials have said the military has prepared at least two weeks of strikes. On Saturday, French President Emmanuel Macron told his Iranian counterpart “to return swiftly to the negotiating table to reach an agreement,” and Arab leaders have called for an end to the fighting. President Trump resisted a military campaign for much of the year but has since cheered on Israel’s attacks.
“I think it’s time for a deal, and we’ll see what happens, but sometimes they have to fight it out,” Trump told reporters on Sunday.”
