      Ugh federation is fucking up my replies again.
      You’re the fucking moron coming up with depressing fanfiction based off vague headline recollections. Did you even see Iran got hits with basic ballistic missiles that reach hypersonic velocities towards the end of their flight path? Conventional weapons this magic air defense is supposed to work on.
      Why don’t you calm down with your Game of Thrones brain shit about how Ansarallah and Qassam Brigades and Hezbollah and Syria and Iran are all divided because they didn’t escalate the way you think they should. Why don’t you go play HOI4 or Warhammer, you illiterate churl?

        This is what any microblog instance looks like when it’s being forced into an unholy matrimony with Lemmy. Mastodon looks just like this. https://fedidb.org/software/FireFish is the most advanced ActivityPub featureset available. The only complements it needs are https://fedidb.org/software/Funkwhale and https://fedidb.org/software/Bookwyrm

        The translation feature in particular makes it superior even for browsing Lemmy. But also none of you bother to provide alt-text image descriptions for people who have sight and sensory issues, while Mastodon & Misskey forks passively promote its use allowing the blind to interact with the web through our aggregation. The user tags here don’t cause any functional issue other than increasing character count. Lemmy posts on instance 1 already create a situation where a reply from instance 2 with a reply from instance 3 won’t show the third reply on instance 1. All of our software is shit, but at least it’s good shit. Anyways, your nonsense about this obviously superior software aside, let’s reply to your trashy analysis of current events.

        @mlg@lemmy.world @worldnews@lemmy.ml

        I have no idea why you’re so invested in the conjectures you’ve based off reading reports from the Zionists that this attack was successfully fended off and they took no serious damage, because the attack didn’t fit some arbitrary guideline.
        War isn’t about pleasing spectators online, as the Ukrainians have been taught so painfully over the past few years.
        Zionists spent over a billion dollars fending off Iran’s “wasteful” use of drones. The attack cost Iran something in the millions.
        They essentially launched a mass of chaff to break the AA and issued a warning strike.
        Let me quote an infamous one-trick pony commentator:

        Nevatim was defended by the world’s most advanced integrated anti-missile defense shield which incorporated Arrow 2, David’s Sling, THAAD, and Patriot 3 with the AN/TPY-2 X-band surveillance and targeting radar. You also ignore the fact that this system was designed to exclusively defend against the Iranian medium-range ballistic missile threat.
        And yet…5-7 missiles hit Nevatim. The Israelis have acknowledged 2 runways and three warehouse structures hit.
        Not a knockout blow—it wasn’t intended as such.
        But any BDA expert would note that the point of impact was center mass, a clear indication of precision guidance.
        5-7 missiles hit the world’s most heavily defended location, defeating an integrated ABM defense that was custom built to defeat the missiles it failed to shoot down.

        I guess I am supposed to trust your intuition that the Iranians are lying about getting more out of this attack than they expected because, why? They’re biased?

        Bruh first go use a client made in the 21st century and stop spamming user tags for replies.

        Did you even see Iran got hits with basic ballistic missiles that reach hypersonic velocities towards the end of their flight path?

        Yes, have they damaged or degraded Israel’s military capability in literally any possible way? like even in damaging a war asset?

        If Iran wanted to do a non escalating strike, they should have hit the front lawn of some big C&C post, not pretending like they made a big hit by wasting an overwhelming amount of drones and cruise missiles to let their few hypersonics make it to the edge of an airfield where all the AA would be located.

        This is coming from the same country that got smacked around by the PAF and a drunken Pakistani COAS which sums up their offensive air capability.

      I never said the resistance is pathetic you illiterate moron, at least bother to read my comment.

      All I said was Iran will likely accomplish nothing compared to Hamas by itself.
