Like some have said, people need to understand that incidents like this really are practice for us. Just like supporting Ukraine. Yes, we should be assisting them, but it’s also great practice for logistics and getting equipment where we need, when we need. We’re also testing new equipment and getting real world, real time data is worth more than you could know.

everybody is really happy with the relatively bloodless live ammunition war game. I’m sure Iran learned a bunch too (which was probably one of their objectives).

Could they use it to protect Ukraine?

Nice, just a test bro.

What are the chances that all these intercepted missile shrapnel start wrecking havoc for satellites? These are pretty much working in low earth orbit.

Anyone have the videos of the eco-thermic intercepts?
There are only two countries on earth that have proven in combat anti-ICBM missile defense (Iran used MRBM with shorted range vs ICBMs but the space intercept is the same)
1) 🇺🇸US
2) 🇮🇱Israel

I’ve long suspected that Israel’s most valuable strategic resource for the US&A is their many enemies that we can use to test new defensive weapons.

Who knows what other secret weapons we have already and being made as we speak. The United States puts way to much money into the military to not be making some state of the art tech and weaponry. I’d be kinda pissed if they weren’t.

Good fucking thing it worked. Thanks guys…

Iran using missiles that go that far up seems inefficient?

For something that can actually kill another missile in space, “Standard Missile” is such an amazing name

This kind of thing is why I think Russia will never use ICBMs. If they all get shot down they will be a toothless paper tiger.

Ngl, really hoped they’d use those to show off to ru or China first, not Iran.

So these are probably those space intercepts that were shown on video.
Cute technology story.
Go science!
Thanks for the practice, iran.

Great test/practice
Fancy missiles? Dang I was hoping it was lasers
