How is it possible that Iran has more military strength than the Rooskies?

Putin wants to go muzzie?

These are preparatory fires for a larger upcoming operation, not the decisive action itself.

What is the point for a 70 yr. old to rule a wasteland?

I said the same on another post. The Russians need ballistic missiles from a country ruled by 11th century mullahs.? The mind boggles. Russia put the world’s first satellite in orbit. They have SSBNs, 4th and 5th generation aircraft. If Iran can supply Russia needed weapons better than Russia can produce for itself then what kind of weapons does Israel produce that can intimidate Iran.

Only you would be cheering the mullahs here. Who next, the Norks? Definitely the ChiComs.

If Russia thought the war would be over in a couple months, then they may have depleted their reserves without building new bombs.

Now that the war has gone on for months, and Putin has put the entire country on a war footing, it could be possible that the Russians will also start building bombs to replace the ones they've already deployed.

Note also that the US has depleted its reserves to a point where it can't send more to Ukraine without putting our own armed forces in danger.

The 9K720 Iskander is a mobile short-range ballistic missile system produced and deployed by the Russian military.

It isn’t a matter of inferior missiles, it’s a matter of how many thousands, tens of thousands do you have lying around. Throughout this entire 8 months what Western analysts have been most surprised about is that they haven’t run out yet.

As you can see from Russia’s plan they want to have enough to use profusely, not sparingly. Using Iran’s low cost missiles will allow Russia to even use them on troop formations which will dramatically change the battleground.

The Mullah’s probably got those from Barack Hussein.

If we have depleted resources this fast, we aren’t ready to deal with China on any level.

...meaning nuclear exchange...

Every thread requires a concern troll, but no, this does not mean a nuclear exchange. Based on staging and troop build-ups, it appears Russia may repeat their three-pronged attack conducted in February and March: (1) retake Kharkiv in the north, (2) clear Donetsk once and for all in the center, and (3) move across Zaporosha and Kherson in the south.

The big question is why is Russia staging forces in Belarus? There's only one logical target from Belarus: Kiev.

Too bad no one here in the U.S. would be allowed to say that on TV. Thanks for posting it, though, it is nice to see someone in Germany who is able to publicly deal with reality.

Iran claims the drones are not theirs. Could be they are jointly developed like the Indian Brahmos cruise missile.

Who said that the Iranian weapons are better? The idea thst they are bad is strange though. What makes the Iranian weapons bad? The US is using foreign weapons as well.

They tried that already and it failed.

What is different now that they think they can succeed?

Are they stronger, or the Ukes weaker there?

I say this not because I have a “side”, but I have studied war my whole life, 22 years in the military, and all I can see is a higher risk for an attacker to try again without fundamental changes in forces, tactics and supply.
