Commissar SFLUFAN Posted January 29, 2023 Author Share Posted January 29, 2023 There are unverified reports of strikes on military facilities in the cities of Tabriz, Hamadan and Karaj. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar SFLUFAN Posted January 29, 2023 Author Share Posted January 29, 2023 The location of that facility is in the dead-center of Iran which puzzles me greatly as to how drones launched by an external party could even reach that location. Of course, the even wilder notion is that the drones were launched from within Iran itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted January 29, 2023 Author Share Posted January 29, 2023 As @CayceG and I discussed on Discord, there is the not-completely-implausibe likelihood that these were Israeli drones launched from Iraqi Kurdistan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CayceG Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Or, depending on the payload of the drones, launched directly from Israel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CitizenVectron Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 I like to think that Ukraine did it. Makes me feel warm and fuzzy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CayceG Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 I'm breaking The Rule, but I can't find another source for this video. Iranian media aired footage they claim is one of the drones that was shot down in the attacks. And it is indeed a quadcopter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CayceG Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Why risk F-16s, -15s, and -35s when you can just build a quadcopter that can be launched from Azerbaijan? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It never fails to "amuse" me that during one of the interminable squabbles over Nagorno-Karabakh, Iran openly sided with and provided military supplies to Christian Armenia to be used against Muslim Azerbaijan because that's just how much Tehran despises Baku (and the feeling is mutual). Also, a gunman attacked the Azerbaijan embassy in Tehran two days ago and killed the head of the embassy's security service. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
