Iran Shenanigans

[StoleIt]

Didn't see a similar thread for Iranian Tomfoolery.

Besides them being in the news recently for trying to steal US Navy Saildrone Explorer USV's (new acronym to me: unmanned surface vessels)...looks like they just put in an order for 24 Su-35's that were originally tagged for Egypt.

Those -35s will give the Raptor guys (or Israelis) something to do if the ballon goes up.

I’d put money on 3 nights or less but fair point.

24x Su-35s…probably 20 FMC/PMC…that’s 2x 4-ships staggered with 2x more 4-ships, extras backfill the dead jets…trying to cover the entirety of Iran…good luck

Crap! Not sure why when I searched "Iran" nothing came up.

Mods, obviously, feel free to merge or delete.

First rule about Iran is that you don't talk about Iran 😁🤣

An Iranian political opposition group has a membership base there.

The real story is this appears to be the first time a sovereign has severed diplomatic relations due to a "cyber war".
