Another solution entering the battlefield against Hezbollah's suicide drones: Inspired by the battlefield between Russia and Ukraine - rotating barbed wire fences. These are barbed-wire fences connected by bollards (iron posts), each equipped with an electric motor that rotates the fence. The wire's rotation is designed to tear the drone's optical fiber. This is a simple but creative system recently developed in Ukraine: a wire is connected to a motor that rotates slowly at all times. When a drone with an optical fiber passes over it, leaving the fiber trailing behind, the rotating wire catches the cable, winds it, and cuts it. Once the drone's optical fiber is damaged or cut, it loses communication and crashes.
The IDF's Land Technology Division has already developed the Israeli version of the Ukrainian idea. The goal is for every battalion to be able to deploy the system on its own, with a quick, simple installation that does not require external involvement.

Pro-Palestinian supporters clashed in Berlin with Iranian activist Kowsar Eftekhari, who was injured in the eye during Iran's 2022 protests, on Sunday.
Videos of the clashes have gone viral on social media.
Eftekhari was holding the pre-revolution Iranian flag during a gathering of pro-Palestinian supporters and chanted slogans including “The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is a terrorist organization.”
One of the individuals involved in the confrontation, identified as Alisha, was arrested by German police.

This ceasefire is a complete waste of time and, has accomplished absolutely nothing aside from extending the conflict.
That's complete conjecture at best, completely false at worst. We've initiated a naval blockade and broadened the sanctions and related economic actions against Iran, both of which are squeezing their economy. We've moved potential ground forces into place. We've demonstrated to the world that Iran will not budge on their nuclear ambitions or their support of foreign based militia. Those are some things that have been accomplished; there are undoubtedly more things we've not heard about.

Not good that they got caught, but finally some evidence that we or Israel or someone is arming the people within Iran.

No just an American tired of placating people who are out to destroy our country and have been for over 45 years.
We need to send a clear message that the time is now to surrender, Or we do what should have been done 45 years ago when they took our hostages. That event is what led to this now.
No President since has done anything including Trump the first time. He realizes now is the time. If we don't now it just gets more and more dangerous as time passes.
War is a terrible thing and should never be entered into lightly. My dad was in the Army and i know what is at risk for families. But this is a critical time and if we dont finish it now will we go another 45 years with the threat of terrorism by an emboldened country that is led by radical killers willing to murder their own people.
Do you think they twice about killing ours.
Biden is that you?

The IRGC attack reported today by Kuwait on Bubiyan Island was likely a kill/capture mission directed at US forces.
The Island sits about 30 km southwest of the Iranian border. This is not the first time Iran has directed attacks at US forces reportedly based on the Island.
On 04/04, the USA conducted numerous airstrikes just north of this location against Iranian PMF terrorists attempting to cross from Iraq into Iran. These strikes occurred while the downed US pilot was missing in Iran. The PMF forces were moving in the direction of the downed pilot.
Two days after the strikes on 04/06, Iran targeted the US forces reportedly based on the Island.
Today, the IRGC attempted to infiltrate the base with a 4-man team that was captured.

Good to see some indication that these efforts are being made.
I'd like to see arms and drones delivered by drones while allied jets roar over Iran keeping the Islamic Republic thugs deep in their holes.

I am curious, do you feel they should be using drones?
I understand the gaming industry uses controllers very similar.

Tired of all the headlines posted here being all about Iran attacking. I long for the days when it was an endless parade of post of the IRGC leaders and equipment being destroyed.
Tell it to Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman General Dan Caine.
On May 5th he said:
quote:
Top US General Dan Caine says Iran’s attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz have so far not met the threshold that would require the United States to restart combat operations.
Caine, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, says that since the ceasefire was announced on April 7, Iran has fired at commercial vessels nine times and seized two container ships.
He says Iran has attacked US forces more than 10 times. However, the attacks fell “below the threshold of restarting major combat operations at this point.”

Add another one to the list of 10 that Dan Caine talked about on May 5th.
Does that put Iran over the threshold? What is the threshold?

Silly me but can anyone tell me the 'litmus test' going forward or are we going to classify Iranian intrusions as mosquitoes? I thought I had a sense of things a few weeks ago but I'll be darned if I have a current sense of things.
I can appreciate the China line of thinking but for some of us ---- this Imperialist regime has been giving us and others the business for some 5 decades....polluting the world with its over the top, radical view toward civilized peoples....with and without bullets

The fact that there's a threshold on how many times a country can attack commercial vessels and US forces before we do something about it is wild. This is some Obama level red lines.
