If the rumours are true, and Iran are about to start launching, then we are in for a bit of fun and games, as that'll probably drag the US into it (and by default, the UK probably)

We've already been involved, at the last lot of Iranian missiles. Together with a surprising number of middle Eastern countries too.

Just a token effort from Iran again I reckon. 

Either that, or they get twatted.

Seems to be a far bigger wave of missiles than last time

Don't appear to have landed though? And no reports of fatalities. Also questioning on the radio if they were targeted to fly over (but not land on) population centres. 

Total speculation at this point mind.

Quite the opposite, the videos I've seen would suggest the defences are overwhelmed. If you fire enough missiles some will get through, seen it suggested up to 400 have been launched.

We'll have to see what pans out. I've not seen any footage that suggests the defences were overwhelmed but new footage is coming out all the time. Have you got a link to the footage you've seen please? 

It's the Israeli emergency services who are claiming there aren't any serious casualties as a result of the launch. Which says to me that not many of them landed? 

Hopefully that's right.......

It's deffo the sun and heat that boils all their heads over there and they spend centuries kicking off with eachother.

Winter kills all that elsewhere.

Iran has usually acted up to a point where it can save face in front of its own but not so much that it provokes a devastating or escalating response.

I don't know how this tallies with that, and fuck knows what happens next.

I thought there were 100-200 last time, including drones.

How many now?

From the correspondents I follow, anything from the same number as last time to double or triple. Seems quite clear they've been a lot more effective than last time though, maybe the interceptor missile stocks are low or overwhelmed, they've been in use constantly I guess.

Probably IAF/US jets (possibly ours too) intercepting them over neighbouring countries like last time too but can imagine it being pretty challenging intercepting missiles rather than drones.

SAD is kicking in already this year. 
 

This cheered us up 😄

It's also why South America is fucking mental

They really need a bit of wind and sideways rain

Depends where they land.

Seems a tense atmosphere. Security everywhere. 

 

Is this deffo live? Has there been another salvo? Looks like things landing in that footage too?

Reckon it's just earlier footage from a live feed.

Taped off area, and loads of security suggests concern about an "on the ground" incident. 

Apparently, a Palestinian has been nobbled in the West Bank by falling debris!

It looks to be in the area where the terrorist attack occurred earlier
