Iran?

They may have their hands full with the Saudis. 

[Gusington]

^And the U.S. And Israel. And their colonization of Syria. There is also growing protest at home for Iran...hopefully their gov't will crack further. Maybe they really have overextended themselves.

Couldn't happen to a better bunch of creeps. I wonder how much actual control the Ayatollahs have over the Revolutionary Guards? Who's calling the shots?

[Centurion40]

Excellent question!

Some poor schmuck can be seen running to the vehicle just before the missile arrives....   #:-)

Superficially analyzing the clip we can conclude that the jewish "missiles" are just a bit faster than a man running on the ground.
From the point of detecting the incoming "missile", probably due to its noise, the guy runs towards the Pantsir-S1 (SA-22 in nato parlance, which is obviously in transport position, and not on active duty) and needs about 1,5 seconds for around 10m (considering the airstrip around 30m wide) to get there. The "missile" needs about 6 seconds to do the same thing (obviously from farther away).
Not knowing the characteristics of the optics on the "missile" it can't be exactly determined from what initial distance the night vision footage was taken. A standard objective field of view is around 50 degrees so we can estimate the initial distance to be around 200m, which will be covered in 9 seconds, so the speed is around 22m/s or 80km/h.
The noise on the footage is typical for an FM analog transmission - not exactly what would be expected from a modern military "missile".
The wiggling in the footage can be attributed with high probability to a human operator trying to align the flight path of the "missile" to the target.
All those considered, we can conclude that the footage was taken from a drone, operated by the terrorist buddies financed, and supported by the yank "coalition", maybe with an explosive payload, beside the camera.
We have no idea of where, and when the footage was taken, but it's obviously not what's claimed by the jewish military.
From a (former) IAF (the italian one) pilot, I would expect a little more critical thinking. He should know how fast a missile is approaching it's target. Or he just chose to ignore it.

Whoever wrote has no idea what he's talking about.  That's just nonsense.

Like I said, Russian troll.  Was probably playing hockey with Putin last night.

'The Jewish Missile'

How did they get your codename?

[Gusington]

I don't know!! I (and Star, and perhaps JH) have been compromised!

[Centurion40]

Mole hunt!!!

[Sir Slash]

Incredible! The Israelis have managed to invent weaponry with a religious viewpoint.  :o   I can't wait for the Catholic Battle Tanks and Hindu Attack Submarines. What a marvelous age we are living in! Question, if the missile is Jewish, does it still hit targets on the Sabbath? And exactly how do you safely circumcise a missile?  :hide:
