Speaking of that, this footage will look familiar to students of the Russo Ukrainian war

I've been out of the loop. What are the heavy losses?

Not to minimize any US loss of life or equipment, but I have to wonder about the objectivity of any source calling that "heavy losses".

Time to ask Ukrainian friends what the best way to take these systems out.

Also time to start seizing a lot more Russian flagged shadow fleet tankers.

Russia has a very small number of these, they protect Moscow from drones and missiles, and don't seem to do a very good job. Moscow can't afford to give any of these up.

The F-15 never had a radar lock on it, ground systems like that would cause an alarm in the F-15. Most likely a manpad from everything I have read

Passive radar.

It wouldn't surprise me if China has systems deployed in Iran.

Low flying F15 and other low aircraft probably hit with manpads. If they got the new Russian system, they would have hit more islreali or US aircraft or been destroyed.

Passive radar can’t provide a targeting data, just tell you something is there

The S-400s have taken down some of our F-16s in Ukraine, supposedly.

They're using Chinese heat and infrared systems to shoot down and hit the aircraft.

The old Russian systems like the S-400 suck against Us Airpower, so Iran (loaded with intelligent engineers) pivoted and started developimg their own systems after the 12 day war, and imported new Chinese systems.

They don't use radar detection to track their targets. That's why the US is getting hit now. They will have to adapt to avoid being hit more.

You know it’s Chinese technology.

You heard about the Chinese instructional video explaining how to shoot down F-15s that was posted a few days before this one went down...?

A helicopter and a low flying A10 were hit and neither hard enough to take it down.

We don’t know what happened to the f15 but something is not adding up.

I think y’all are buying into propaganda. If F35s, F22s, B1s, B2s or a B52 gets hit it will get my attention.

If they had this advanced stuff it would be in Tehran and other sites not in a rural area on the Iraq border. Also if they had those batteries they would hunted by surveillance and quickly be targets for tomahawks and strike fighters.
