Where's Iran going to get new missiles to launch from?

[TexasFreeper2009]

more importantly where they going to get the launchers to launch them?

LMAO

this is almost over

[boycott]

I am guessing that they’re finally figuring out that we’re pretty good at figuring out where missiles are launched from.

If they fire a missile, they can expect one in return rather quickly.

[TheDon]

Where’s Russia going to get drones from?

Where’s China going to get petroleum products from?

[BlueStateRightist]

The problem with those data is they portray numbers for days 7 and 8. We haven’t gotten past day 7 yet. So something is being fabricated.

[TexasFreeper2009]

I bet right about now Iran is regretting sending missiles and drones off to Russia :)

[SmokingJoe]

You are right.

[Uncle Miltie]

Nice!

[shotgun]

They’re waiting to launch their hypersonic tapeworm missiles.

[ComputerGuy]

How many drones are needed to make a swarm?

[Redcitizen]

Days one through six still shows a large drop so even day six levels mean progress.

[ozarker]

during first gulf war saddam launched scud missiles at kuwait, saudi and israel. Most didn’t do much real damage, one took out an aircraft hanger used as barracks. we tried to stop the launches using our uncontested air control and satellite images, and we could not. they continued launching scuds until the last day of the war. Missiles and drones launched from trucks that can hide in tunnels and caves in mountainous terrain will be very hard to stop.

[zeestephen]

Thanks for doing the math, SmokingJoe.

Those numbers tell a story the Hard Left news media are NOT reporting.

[Nervous Tick]

>> Where’s Iran going to get new missiles to launch from?

Harbor Freight? The mullahs are tight with China. Excuse me, the mullahs *were* tight with China before they got rubbled.

A good radar, a little trig and calculus, and you can lay a response in a circle about the size of a frying pan.

Where’s Russia going to get drones from?

While the world watches the headlines, Russia has quietly built a drone production juggernaut, scaling from manufacturing 10,000 FPV drones monthly to targeting an astounding 1.4 million by the end of 2024. - https://gitnux.org/russia-drone-industry-statistics/

A rare glimpse inside Russian drone factory Russia’s state-run Zvezda TV recently aired a documentary showcasing one of Moscow’s most secretive military-industrial sites: the Alabuga drone factory in the Tatarstan region. It’s a little more than 600 miles from Ukraine’s border,

Footage revealed rows of black drones, workers assembling components, and even teenagers — some as young as 14 — involved in the manufacturing process. The factory reportedly operates a nearby technical college to train future workers straight out of ninth grade.

The Geran-2 drone is modeled on Iran’s Shahed design, and while Russia now manufactures most components domestically, it still depends on Iranian technology and expertise. In 2022, Russia received its first batch of Iranian drones under a $1.7 billion deal. In early 2023, Iran sent hundreds more disassembled Shaheds for reassembly in Russia. Eventually, Alabuga localized production - https://san.com/cc/russia-ramps-up-production-on-drones-designed-by-iran/

How Russian Drone Developers Outpace the West Moscow’s forces have launched nearly 50,000 Geran/Shahed drones into Ukraine since the full-scale invasion of 2022 and shifted to a near-continuous rhythm of strikes that have overwhelmed defenses, disabled infrastructure, and killed families in their homes.  

Figures from the Ukrainian Air Force’s daily bulletins in 2025 indicate that in January, Russia fired 2,599 long-range attack drones, rising to 3,902 in February and 4,198 in March, before major peaks in June (5,438) and July (6,297), which were followed by intense months in September (5,636), October (5,298), and November (5,445).  

In all, more than 38,000 long-range kamikaze unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and decoys were launched between January and November. This represented 64% of the total since February 2022, marking a rapid acceleration in their use. - https://cepa.org/article/how-russian-drone-developers-outpace-the-west/

2026 Russian Strike Drones: Why Their Numbers Are Growing So Rapidly — and What This Means for Ukraine Ukraine is entering a new phase of the war — one defined not by isolated missile barrages, but by relentless waves of unmanned aerial vehicles. What began as sporadic nighttime attacks has evolved into systematic “drone storms,” stretching air defenses to their limits and turning the skies into a permanent battlefield.

Behind this surge lies a structural shift. Moscow has moved from dependence on Iranian deliveries to localized industrial production, expanding assembly lines and securing alternative supply routes for engines, electronics, and navigation systems. This industrialization — combined with tactical adaptation — has transformed drone warfare into a sustained pressure campaign rather than a supplementary tool. - https://uatv.ua/en/russian-strike-drones-why-their-numbers-are-growing-so-rapidly-and-what-this-means-for-ukraine/

Mar 04, 2026 Why The US May Not Be Able To Stop Iran’s Shahed Drone Attacks

The US and Israeli operation to target and destroy Iran’s ballistic missile production facilities and launchers has been highly successful. But stopping Iran’s Shahed long-range attack drones is another matter. Unlike ballistic missiles, which require major infrastructure to assemble and deploy, these drones can be assembled in a garage and launched from the back of a pickup truck. Iran may be able to continue producing and launching new Shaheds almost indefinitely.

This gives some indication of the Shahed’s capability: long range with precision targeting, accurate enough to hit a specific building. The basic Shahed-136 has a seven-foot wingspan, cruises at 120 mph and carries a 90-pound warhead. That is a small payload compared to a ballistic or cruise missile. The US Tomahawk packs a 1000-pound punch. But high precision means that Shaheds can cause real damage in the right (or wrong) place.

Multimillion-dollar missiles like the Patriot and the US Navy’s Standard are effective, but in short supply. Russia launches thousands of Shahed-type drones every month, mainly produced at a giant factory in Alabuga, with as estimated production price of $35,000.

Ukrainian intelligence analysts have concluded that the Shaheds used by Russia are “almost entirely assembled from Western components,” including flight controllers, navigation and other elements. ...A steady trickle of Shaheds and other drones will deplete the very limited stocks of anti-aircraft missiles held by the US. What happens after that is an open question. - https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidhambling/2026/03/04/why-us-may-not-be-able-to-stop-irans-shahed-drone-attacks/

So America wasn’t the only nation to benefit from Iran’s contribution to low cost and effective warfare. 😉

Accordong to AI:

The first kinetic strikes in the latest conflict against Iran began at 1:15 a.m. EST on Saturday, February 28, 2026. This corresponds to 9:45 a.m. local time in Tehran. Multiple sources, including U.S. military officials and intelligence reports, confirm this timing as the start of Operation Epic Fury, a coordinated U.S.-Israel offensive.

Day 1 was at 1:15 a.m. EST on Saturday, February 28, 2026.
Day 2 was at 1:15 a.m. EST on Sunday, March 1, 2026.
Day 3 was at 1:15 a.m. EST on Monday, March 2, 2026.
Day 4 was at 1:15 a.m. EST on Tuesday, March 3, 2026.
Day 5 was at 1:15 a.m. EST on Wednesay, March 4, 2026.
Day 6 was at 1:15 a.m. EST on Thursday, March 5, 2026.
Day 7 was at 1:15 a.m. EST on Friday, March 6, 2026.

According to my caluclations, we are just now entering the 7th day of this conflict. Thus, the 8th day won't begin until:

Day 8 will begin at 1:15 a.m. EST on Saturday, March 7, 2026.

So, are they predicting what will transpire today, as well as, tomorrow?

I do not mean to nitpick, however, since the press, the Democrats, and let's not forget Rand Paul have been complaing since day 2 or 3 that this is an illegal war. But officially war doesn't begin until Congress declares war, and the President has not yeat gone to Congress to ask Congress to officially declare an official state of war, because the President has no intentions of engaging in a formal war with Iran.

Thus, I am just trying to set the record straight here, because it's already being miscontrued on so many levels, including how long the operation has been in operational mode since the first military ordanance had been deployed upon Iran.

WWhile I like the numbers I am seeing, I have to question the valdity since they are reporting on the 7th day what the numbers will be for the 7th & 8th days that have not fully taken place for the 7th day, and reporting on the 8th day which doesn't begin until tomorrow morning.

My advice is to take these numbers with a grain of salt, especially days 7 & 8, and hope that the first 6 days of numbers presented are deemed to be accurate.
