Unconfirmed: ziran is preparing it's most advanced missiles with ability to carry up to 80 bombs or up to 1500kg payload to retaliate against Israeli assassination of Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran.
The head of IRGC missile division said in an interview that "our April response was to sho that we CAN attack israel" but the incoming attacks will be to destroy and " teach a lesson", even if it means an all out war with Israel and their supporters, no matter who they are".
Bident, with his puppets in Jordan and Saudi Arabia have already said they will not allow their airspace to be used to attack Israel, despite the fact they have absolutely no problem allowing Israeli, American and British war planes use them to bomb Syria, Iraq and Yemen.
This is a major escalation with unpredictable consequences.
Sadly Biden os hell bent to support and protect genocidal maniac Netanyahu and his war criminal army at all cost, so does UK, Jordan and other puppet regimes in the region.

#Hezbollah successful attacked, damaged one of israelis most advanced radar sustem of the air defense installation at #Nimra #military base on northern #Israel
This is the biggest strategic blow to Israeli air defense and the military as none of the drones/missiles that hit the multi million dollar surveillance system were detected or intercepted by Iron dome or Arrow air defense systems.
This is the 3rd strategic site that Hezbollah have managed to damage in the past few months.
The extent of the damage is unknown but the iron dome in northern Israel seems to be completely out of service.
Israeli media accidentally shared an image of the Meron military airbase after previous attack, before they removed the image from their site (of was downloaded and shared by many people online)..

US Has Spent $1B on Houthi Attacks But Militants’ Arsenal Unfazed: Intel
🔶️ American warships have spent a great deal of munitions to intercept Houthi drones and missiles targeting ships in retaliation for Israel’s war(Genocide ) in #Gaza.
🔶️ “Houthi stockpiles appear nowhere near exhausted, even as sporadic #US and #UK strikes against them continue,” said Behnam Ben Taleblu of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies think tank.
🔶️ The assessment is contrary to a previous statement by US #AirForces Central Commander Lt. Gen. Alexus Grynkewich, who said the Iran-backed rebels appeared to be running low on drones and anti-ship #ballistic #missiles.
🔶️ Earlier this year, #Pentagon undersecretary for acquisition William LaPlante hinted that the cost of countering Houthi attacks in the Red Sea was increasing.
🔶️ He said at a defense conference that efforts to take out hostile #drones exceed $100,000 per shot.
🔶️ Even the #Yemeni group had mocked its American adversary, saying #Washington is launching $2 million defense missiles to stop $2,000 Houthi drones.
🔶️ Because of this, the US #military is being urged to find alternative counter-attack solutions that only cost tens of thousands of dollars per shot.

What are France’s Mirage 2000-5 jets, and how can Ukraine use them?
A retired Ukrainian military officer and defense expert, told the Kyiv Independent that Ukraine could use the aircraft to target Russian positions with Storm Shadow or SCALP missiles.
#Mirage 2000-5s can deploy anti-ship Exocet missiles and AS 37 anti-radar projectiles, Kevliuk added. The jets can also conduct strikes using long-range bombs, such as the AASM Hammer, and incorporate advanced precision-guided munitions like JDAM-ER and SDB, which offer increasing targeting accuracy and flexibility.
Ukraine has already used JDAM-ER bombs to strike Russian targets, thanks to U.S. supplies. Washington is also planning to supply Kyiv with seekers, advanced targeting systems integrated into the JDAM-ER munitions, to help destroy Russian electronic warfare systems, which have proven effective against Western weaponry.

Russia destroyed Kyiv Oblast power plant after Ukraine ran out of air defense missiles
#Trypillia TPP was completely destroyed in a Russian strike on Ukrainian energy infrastructure on April 11, leading to the 100% loss of #Centrenergo's generating capacity.
Russia launched 11 missiles in the direction of the plant, according to Zelensky. Ukraine was able to shoot down the first seven, and four "destroyed Trypillia."
"Why? Because there were zero #missiles. We ran out of all the missiles that protected the Trypillia TPP,"

Iran had vowed to retaliate after an #airstrike on an Iranian #consulate in #Syria earlier this month killed seven Iranian #military officials. It is the first time that Iran has launched an attack on Israel from Iranian soil, Israeli officials said.
Warsaw to ‘demand explanations’ from Moscow after Russian missile entered Polish airspace
Poland will demand explanations from Moscow after a Russian missile violated the Polish airspace during the mass attack against Ukraine on the morning of March 24, the Polish Foreign Ministry said.
Polish Foreign Ministry’s spokesperson Pawel Wronski called on Russia to stop its “terrorist air attacks on the people and territory of Ukraine, to end the war and address the country's internal problems.”
Ukraine’s Air Forces said the Russian forces fired 29 cruise missiles and 28 Shahed loitering munitions, targeting eight regions in the west, center, north, and south of Ukraine. Of the total air targets fired across Ukraine, 18 cruise missiles and 25 Shahed drones were intercepted by the air defense, according to the report.

The majority of Germany's ruling coalition in the European Parliament has backed the transfer of #Taurus #missiles to Kiev
A total of 451 MEPs voted in favour of the resolution to send the missiles, 46 voted against and 49 abstained, Bild reported. On 14 March, the Bundestag did not support the delivery of missiles to the AFU, the publication notes.
Scholz continues to oppose the delivery of Taurus missiles to Ukraine. As a result, Berlin has been accused of "failing to live up to the expectations of its allies through excessive fearfulness and a loss of strategic vision," The Times reported earlier.
North Korean missiles used by Russia against Ukraine contain US, European components
#NorthKorean ballistic #missiles fired into Ukraine by the Russian military last month contained hundreds of components produced by companies in the U.S. and Europe, the Conflict Armament Research (CAR) organization announced in its February report.
CAR, an organization based in the U.K., studied missile remnants recovered from a Russian attack on the city of Kharkiv back in January. Not only did many of the recovered components display brands of companies based primarily in the U.S., but a large number of them were produced within the last three years.
Investigators determined that the North Korean ballistic missile included more than 290 non-domestic electronic components.

Top German general: 'We must be ready for war (with Russia) in 5 years'
While the prospect of the war escalating to an all-out clash between the alliance and #Russia has so far been averted, there are concerns that the West has not truly accepted that it may still be a possibility.
Several #NATO commanders and other alliance leaders have warned in increasingly stark terms in recent months about the dangers of such a #war and what impact it could have across #Europe.
German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said in January that a war with Russia could occur within the next five to eight years, and a top German NATO general warned that Russian #missiles could likely target Germany in the event of such a conflict.

Russia's use of North Korean ballistic missiles not a sign of Moscow's depleted domestic capacity
Russia’s missile campaign against Ukraine’s cities and infrastructure is no longer limited by the rate of domestic production as North Korea becomes its top weapons supplier.
#Pyongyang has allegedly sent Moscow more than 1 million artillery rounds and the mass strikes on Dec. 30 and Jan. 2 provided the first direct evidence that Russia used North Korean missiles to attack a Ukrainian city, specifically Kharkiv.
Experts say this will allow Russia to intensify its attacks on #civilian targets, killing people, doing costly damage, and putting a strain on Ukraine’s air defenses.
The two heavily sanctioned autocracies have grown progressively closer since the start of Russia’s 2022 full-scale invasion.

Russia using relatively accurate, recently designed North Korean missiles against Ukraine
Russia used more North Korean missiles to attack Ukraine in the past few days, and U.S. officials believe they are "proving as accurate as Russia's home-built" weapons, the New York Times reported in its Jan. 23 morning briefing.
Moscow and Pyongyang have significantly increased their military ties since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. According to Ukrainian military intelligence chief Kyrylo Budanov, North Korea is now Russia's largest arms supplier.
