Iran wargames defense of nuke sites

BBC:

Iran has begun five days of war games to simulate attacks on its nuclear sites, state media report.

The head of Iran's air defence said the aim was to thwart aerial reconnaissance of the sites as well as air attacks.

Brigadier General Ahmad Mighani said the training would also improve cooperation among different units.

Iran has come under mounting pressure over its nuclear programme, which critics say is intended to produce nuclear weapons.

The US and Israel have not ruled out the prospect of a military attack to prevent Iran developing a nuclear weapon.

...

"If the enemy attacks Iran, our missiles will strike Tel Aviv," Mojhtaba Zolnoor was quoted as saying by the official IRNA news agency.

Brig Mighani told state media the aim of the exercises, which will cover an area of 600,000 sq km (230,000 sq miles), was "to display Iran's combat readiness and military potentials.

...

I am sure the US and Israel appreciate the heads up on Iran's defensive strategy. It appears that one part of that strategy is to target Israeli civilians if Israel targets Iran's nuclear facilities. Shouldn't Israel then respond by targeting Tehran?

Note the BBC does not even blink at Iran's suggestion that she will respond to a military target on weapons sites with the targeting of civilians. Islamic war crimes are OK to some I guess.

Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
