U.S. has used nearly all its stockpile of long-range missiles in Iran war, sources say

Washington — The U.S. has used nearly all of its global stockpile of long-range precision missiles during the war with Iran, two sources with direct knowledge of the matter tell CBS News. Specifically, the U.S. has used virtually all of its Army Tactical Missile Systems, known as ATACMS, and Precision Strike Missiles, the sources said. Reuters was first to report that the U.S. had used “virtually…

Prophecy News Watch: The Battlefield Is Being Prepared

For almost two weeks, American forces have conducted nightly attacks against Iranian air defenses, coastal radar installations, anti-ship missile positions, drone-launching facilities, military command centers and maritime infrastructure. Reuters reported that these attacks were not simply retaliation for individual Iranian actions. They were also destroying capabilities the United States would…

Prophecy News Watch: What Would America Target?

The most likely opening targets would be those capable of threatening American aircraft, bases and ships: air-defense batteries, ballistic-missile launchers, drone facilities, coastal missile sites, Revolutionary Guard command centers and military communications. A second wave could strike Iran’s strategic infrastructure. Trump has explicitly threatened to destroy an Iranian bridge or power plant…

The Chinese PL-15 is often reported with a range of up to 200 to 300 km, while the AIM-120D is commonly cited at around 160 km. But those headline numbers come with a ginormous asterisk. Missile range depends heavily on launch conditions, and real combat is nothing like a clean test range. Altitude, speed and geometry can make a huge difference. 1/3

In Ukraine, Russian long range SAMs and Su-35s armed with the R-37M force Ukrainian fighters to stay low and use terrain masking. That means less speed and altitude at launch, more drag and far less energy available to the missile. The result is a much smaller effective engagement envelope. It's simple maths. A missile launched from 5,000 ft does not have the same kinematic options as one fired from 35,000 ft at high speed. 2/3

But, but, but...this is where modern active radar homing missiles like the AIM-120 and Meteor become hugely valuable. A Ukrainian F-16 armed with an AMRAAM can briefly pop up, launch, then immediately dive back into cover. The missile continues the engagement without the fighter maintaining a continuous radar lock. The range may be restricted, yes, but the survivability advantage remains. For Russian pilots, the threat of an AMRAAM shot changes how they fight. That is the real value of a BVRAAM. Not just how far it can fly, but how it changes the way the other guy fights. 3/3

Tensions Iran-États-Unis : reprise des frappes après une brève accalmie

Une escalade soudaine dans le Golfe Alors qu’un fragile cessez-le-feu semblait s’installer entre Téhéran et Washington, de nouvelles frappes ont été échangées mardi, brisant net la trêve diplomatique. Selon le Commandement central américain (Centcom), l’Iran a lancé une salve de missiles balistiques « multiples » visant les forces américaines au Moyen-Orient, qualifiée de « tentative d’attaque…
