Israeli strikes on Iran (2024, 2025, etc.)

[KevinB]

MOP was Not used at Isfahan. Too deep.

Ok so now what.

I’d take those comments as a crock.
For whatever reason the not decision to use MOP’s there was made.

Despite a lot of beleive to the contrary TS SCI information isn’t just casually thrown around and taken out of briefing (at least without a lot of fallout legally for the leakers).

It was hit by both Israel and the US, with basically surface strikes. Had the IAF used the smaller GBU-72’s they could have definitely penetrated into tunnels and access areas and cause a lot more damage than was done, let alone using the 57’s.

Not being a Nuclear Physicist, I’m not sure what really occurs when enriched uranium is released into the atmosphere, but I’m sure it’s not something very good, and there may have been some significant intentional outrage with a mass casualty event there.

A good chunk of them also probably were sporting the blue checkmark too, it's becoming a bit of a pattern now.

It’s definitely a negative feedback note.

Judiciary Spokesperson: Zionist Attack on Evin Prison Leaves 71 Martyrs​

Sunday, 29 June 2025 13:14

The spokesperson for Iran’s Judiciary announced that the recent terrorist attack by the Zionist regime on Evin Prison has resulted in 71 martyrs so far.
According to official statistics, the victims include prison staff, conscripted soldiers, inmates, families visiting prisoners, and residents living near the prison.

On July 22, 2025, the lawless Zionist regime once again demonstrated its disregard for international laws and commitments by launching a brutal terrorist attack on Evin Prison. In violation of international and humanitarian norms, the regime targeted several prison facilities, including the medical clinic, engineering building, visitation area, and the prosecutor’s office, with projectiles ...

Any Iranian sympathizers falling out of high buildings or getting run over by a truck yet?

Well, they accomplished one thing.

Palestine Action to be banned after RAF base break in

The home secretary will move to proscribe the Palestine Action group in the coming weeks, the BBC understands

www.bbc.com

I feel for the regular people of Palestine just trying to live life like many others around the world, but at some point you need to stop and see when you're clearly being used by Iran or an Iranian proxy. This same base was also where a lot of aid was shipped through to Gaza.

But wait - there's MORE!

Hah. Idiots.

Hah. Idiots.

I believe it’s “idjits “

 

[Brad Sallows]

Apparently you can only get a penetration depth of about 80 x the rod diameter. The rod hits at 1.5 km/sec, releases about the equivalent of 11.5 tons of TNT, but is mostly surface effect, probably because it is going too fast.

Kinetic Bombardment.

Other factors include little to no launch warning and short time to react with countermeasures.

A known idea since at least the 1950s (PDF).

 

[GK .Dundas]

I have to wonder if you dropped a Grand Slam from a Hundred thousand feet what you're penetration would be like. I believe the drop was usually 20,000 feet plus or minus.
Have some find someone who likes to do math for odd or occasionally very silly reasons..

You might find that terminal velocity is achieved from a lower altitude.

IIRC one falling object can only go so fast downward and if you want it faster attach a booster rocket....
