Israel destroyed hundreds of Iranian drones in massive attack
Arutz Sheva ^ | 15/3/22 | David Rosenberg

Israeli forces devastated an Iranian airbase recently, destroying hundreds of drone aircraft in a massive airstrike, Ha’aretz reported Tuesday morning.

According to the report, six Israeli drone aircraft carried out an attack on an airbase in western Iran near Kermanshah in mid-February, destroying hundreds of drones.

The incident went unreported until this week, and was first disclosed by Al Mayadeen, a Beirut-based media outlet aligned with the Hezbollah terrorist group and the Iranian government.

Iran, an Al Mayadeen report Sunday said, has blamed Israel, though the Jewish state has neither confirmed nor denied the claim.

Al Mayadeen linked the attack on the drone base to Saturday’s missile attack by Iran on a base in Erbil in Iraqi Kurdistan, claiming the Erbil strike was a retaliation

Please don’t report on any warfare other than the ukraine. We must sustain the narrative.

Iran’s on the same team. So’s China. Can I report on their initial assaults on Taiwan?

“Please don’t report on any warfare other than the ukraine. We must sustain the narrative.”

And please report it correctly. Putin and the Russians - BAD; Azov - GOOD (the Fascist group terrorizing ethnic Russians in Ukraine for at least 8 years).

A hornets nest of mad 2nd and 3rd rate states are activated, Russia is the only state violent enough with enough military forces they can tell to go one direction to upset the UN IMF World Bank applecart. What Iran does, up to nuking mecca is expected. A russian atrocity in the western minds is already baked in.

IMO, after the past month there is less chance China does anything to Taiwan other than rattle windows, a sea boarn invasion of a island with a high motivated defender with an artiliary ring in the age of drones and remote cameras is not a good idea.

Think WWIII started many months ago, it just rose above stupid virus news. The US is not fighting it, we are supplying and marketing it.

When Trump was President I had hopes that peace might break out in the Middle East.

Now it’s, “We’ll all Go Together, when We Go”.

Yeah, like Zelensky telling Congress "we have never seen civilian killings like this," as 600,000k Syrians posthumously say "hold my beer."

WWIII began with
Operation Masterdom
in Vietnam
on September 13, 1945

We've lost nearly 100,000 KIA so far.
The battles continue.

I wonder if this could be the first shots of the Ezekiel 38, 39 war?

Yes and no: Russia is our BEST FRIEND when it comes to Iran, but otherwise they are the second coming of Hitler.

No one is calling the 900 to 1000 Neo-Nazis of the Azov battalion as "good".

The 1000 Azov nazis are EVIL, no doubt, but you are false that it was not being reported -- read the report here

The Azov Neo-Nazis were destroyed in the first days of the invasion. They play next to no role in the defense against Putin

Furthermore, only fools will equate Russia to Putin.

Putin in this matter is wrong, there is no doubt about that.

The attack was on February 15th and the Iranian missile barrage on Iraq was in retaliation. From a site that cannot be linked or named.

Saw that UN report yesterday. No mention of Hillary, McCain, Victoria Neuland, or others who worked directly Azov leaders as proven in the Oliver Stone movie, as shown by both documents and film clips.

So my (friendly) conclusion of that UN report is that the report is ‘incomplete’.

As to Azov being ‘destroyed’ in the first few days of the war - do you really believe that? As to their meager numbers that you claim, try 12,000. There is NO WAY I’m going to believe any of the reports since the invasion as they all have an agenda. Do you believe that the virus vaccine is ‘safe and effective’ too?

But Azov was certainly a big part of Ukraine before the Ukraine war propaganda (lying) blitz, and this is what Wikipedia said about them last year:

“On 13 April 2014 Minister of Internal Affairs Arsen Avakov issued a decree authorizing creating new paramilitary forces from civilians up to 12,000.[23] The Azov Battalion (using “Eastern Corps” as its backbone[22]”

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Azov_Battalion&oldid=1052401122

"On 13 April 2014 Minister of Internal Affairs Arsen Avakov issued a decree authorizing creating new paramilitary forces from civilians up to 12,000"

And Azov was formed with less than 1000

That's not a small number, but it's not the huge deciding force you claim

prior to Putin's invasion they had no representation in parliament or support from MPs

Since the invasion, there is no news of the Azov even in the Russian media - ergo they are destroyed
