Iran go boom

Or they really are inbred morons.
They are a country with some significant allies that don’t like us. It should be assumed that they are in collusion and that they have advisors. They have been supplying drones to Russia, Russia offering to build nuke electrical plants in Iran, iran oil going to China, flights from China to Iran, a new rail line completed from China to Iran and Pakistan threatening to enter the war are significant signs. Not to mention that lying is acceptable in the Koran under certain conditions. And Iran stating that they have sleeper cells in the US. We should not underestimate them.

We were on B-1B Combined Test Force from 1983-1985 before going to Hill AFB and UTTR. I did not know the B-1 was employed with an internal tank in the forward bay, but I do remember the neutering of the rotary ALCM launchers as part of SALT BS. We were long-gone from the program when all that happened, moved on to F-16C Block 40 systems integration, then F-15 CTF.

I would just tell DoD to have the aircrews and units to have a competition on who could sink the most Iranian ships in the least amount of sorties, with the least amount of exposure and expenditure, and offer incentives for the winners.

Did you ever run across a guy named Carl Honorable? Fuel systems guy.

How about the engineer Gordy Backhaus?

I mainly remember Doug Benefield, who was the chief test pilot from Rockwell. He died in the crash/ejection capsule incident in 1984. I’ll ask my dad about the others.

We were using the original 1970s-era B-1A airframes on the B-1B CTF after Reagan revived the program. The biggest change was the engine nacelles, but I recall the radome and tail dome changes as well. One of the aircraft had a long dorsal spine on it, and was desert camouflaged.
 
It used the rotary launcher mounts to attach to the bay.
The big tanks were 180", but if we wanted to violate treaties, the bulkhead between bay 1&2 could be moved forward 90" and then the 90" (9,000 # capacity) tank could be installed in the abbreviated forward bay.


I may or may not have seen that....

I've seen images of that one.
We ended up getting tail number 82-0001. Once it hit the ground at Ellsworth, it never flew again.

That poor aircraft had a shit ton of very hard hours on it, and it looked it.
 
We were usually on avionics, INS, weapons, sensors type projects at ED. Fuel systems on the B-1 still boggle my mind.

The MTOGW increased dramatically from B-1A to B-1B, namely fuel and weapons. I’m amazed at how it can pump such large volumes of fuel and keep the C of G centered when sweeping the wings. They were actually testing that when Dog Benefield died, at low altitude, which didn’t make sense to me.

We were at Plant 42 for the roll-out of B-1B #1 (82-0001). I remember that day well. There was this crazy hot blonde chic who had eaten one too many of the free premium sausages they had at concession stands for visitors, and she hurled it all out right in front of me onto the tarmac.

Did you cannibalize it?

We canned what we could use. If you remember, ship 1-9 were a little different than the rest of the fleet, so not everything was useful.

Once everything was canned, we pickled it and let the SD Air and Space Museum have it. It's on static display there.

Five MOPs went through the central main ventilation shaft, which offered a direct, vertical path to the facility and detonated.
Wait, wait. I saw this movie…

^^^ And we believe that article any more than we believe anything else?

The most interesting thing going on right now is that the Mullah's seem to be shooting everyone in Iran who even 'might' be some kind of opposition.

That is not a sign that they are secure and happy that their nuclear program (or their theocracy) is all rainbows and unicorns. It is also exactly what the Shah was doing right before the whole place fell to the ground in 1979 and we've had IslamoNazis running it since.

Cracking down on the opposition in around is flailing a lot more than I see 'flailing' in DC.

But what do any of us really know. Trust nothing right now. What I'll trust is if something doesn't happen... I'll guess things worked.

You are missing the point. Go back up and read what @Detroit_1 and I were discussing. It's potentially the setup to the next conflict. Iran essentially saying "fuck you, we do what we want", articles coming out from around the world that the uranium and potentially centrifuges were moved and rumors of other refining facilities.

I shouldn't have to point these simple things out, everyone here is old enough to have experienced this in the past and should know better and be able look over the horizon. This is the cognitive dissonance I spoke of earlier that blinds people. These articles don't have to be true to be able to be used to justify further action. Kind of like WMDs in Iraq.

Agree… folks just can’t wait to start WW3.

Or they have so much TDS that they will go to any length to try and oppose any narrative.

Or they have tinfoil hats.

Or they sell more newspapers or blog advertising eyeballs by going Chicken Little.

There are a million cackling voices all cackling for their own reasons. And we gravitate to the cackling that fits our world view.

But setting up for more strikes or forever war…’ naturally! Peace doesn’t sell Raytheon shares.

Its not over, its a cease fire.

This is like ripping the bandaid half way off then stopping.

Regardless Iraq was sitting on Uranium, while not processed and was known to the UN... the Un also gave Iran the JCPOA, so they can eat a dick saying every thing was copacetic. Only reason Iraq didn't proceed with its nuke programs moving into a weapons program is because we kept knocking their dicks in the dirt.

You would be naive to believe they didn't have the ambition to proceed they just didn't have the ability.





This problem is not any where near over.

I'm going to say that is the #1 reason for a lot of what you hear, followed very closely by Paid Propaganda as #2

Folks want clicks, views, ad revenue, subscription revenue.
That's why it's all about all the bad, all the gloom, all the fear, all the worst, all the bad things in life. (Or all about the sex and depravity).

Well it is long past time to kill off the dead weight on this rock, and if we can't get a good EMP or 6,... I'm good with WW III

The "Good folks" and the "Bad Folks" (when it comes to those who actually are at the top of the game and understand what is needed), in the end both understand how the whole of humanity and the progress of the human species is being crushed under the weight of greedy, selfish, useless, masses of idiots.

The disagreement is basically what your end goal is and who you want left and who gets to run things.
In the end even the methods aren't nearly that different, because well history...

Bad guys = want to run the world as their own serfdom so that the servants of the actual Illuminated One get to be the high lords and everybody else is serfs working and existing solely for the benefit of the masters. Hence why they want to get rid of any people, races, cultures or such that would resist that and are not good obedient slave type races/cultures.

Good Guys = freedom and progression and getting off this rock to explore the vastness that awaits us, much like those that broke free from Europe centuries ago to go discover free lands elsewhere. And of course following the correct teachings of Heavenly Father.

Right now the "Bad Guys" are busy using the "useless masses" as their tool to destroy, beat down, oppress and eliminate those who they think are a threat to their global rule. Without those pawns, the "Bad Guys" would very quickly come to their end at the hands of the Good Guys if the gloves were taken off and no Uniforms or other masses were around to intervene.

Since they effectively have no more air defense now, it doesn’t matter for conventional deep penetration strikes.

The main thing to consider now is dirty bomb components being smuggled to the US border.

Israel already moved Hamas and the Palestinians south of their infiltration tunnels and has them on their heels there.

But the 200ft deep tunnels on the US border really need to be cavitated.

Thank goodness we have militarized the border though and put a much more competent and focused force protection posture there.

CIA will be working against the US in that regard to do everything in their power to allow nutbags to smuggle in a dirty bomb.

But JSOC and other entities have been monitoring all of that type of threat for years, so we have institutions working against institutions with a "defend America" WH finally.

CIA is so entrenched though that it will be difficult to combat them in enabling Jihadists, which they’ve been doing for generations now. Remember Bin Laden, Ali Mohamed, 9/11 hijackers and Porter Goss, Ramzi Yusef, OKC cell, Al Farouq Mosque (aided and enabled by NYC FBI as well), etc.

If all of our defense and intelligence institutions were allowed to do their jobs with clear orders consistent with the Constitution, they would mop up these cells quickly. Unfortunately, foreign entities hijacked many of our 3-letter agencies out of the womb, and have embedded themselves into them over many generations.
 
Senate Intel Briefings are driven by CIA mostly, followed by NSA, then DIA.

DIA used to be a lot better until it was also co-opted by the usual suspects.

CIA was co-opted by the Soviets before it was even born in 1947, having come from the OSS, which was a mix of Yale fags from Skull & Bones, Ivy League military officers who did the bonesmen bidding, Soviet moles claiming Belorussian heritage, and organized crime hitmen with real world experience.

But all that aside, no analyst supervisors are going to come out and tell the WH or Senate, “Great job guys! Problem solved!”

There will always be a “what if” addendum and residual capability briefing post-strike on something of this magnitude.

Especially with AIPAC “aides” crawling all over the place and within the intel community acting as moles for Israel.

Is this the proper place to write how I feel about Isreal, Iran, Iraq, SA (either one) NA, Syria and all the Whatever-stans out there?

I'm old enough to remember Vietnam, busing, Nixon, Carter The Iranian hostages and pretty much anything else that occurred a few years after the rich president had his melon caved in.

Other than the price of oil/gasoline, I have cared all I'm gonna care, and I ain't gonna care no mo.

Let them kill each other. They have been at war a long as mankind has lived in the area. We're not gonna stop it.

Fuck them all and let their God sort them out.

Remember what he said last week about letting American troops get killed: " it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make."

As I stated in another post fairly recently, " Is Graham going to be leading the boots on the ground? " If you ain't prepared to lead them , then don't be sending them" Fk that MIC owned NEOCON.
 
Holy hell! Through all my internet research I just found out what happened to fordow. It wasn’t the MOPs. It was a boobquake. You heard me right. An Iranian imam started it all. No lie. Watch the vid.

My research to get you guys the absolute, most accurate information knows no bounds. Probably.

The problem is our country has been corrupted from within. We are losing more money to fraud and corruption than genuine spending.
