I found this over at Instapundit this morning.
Evidently, the US is building a temporary runway about 50 km from the Iranian city of Isfahan. Ostensibly to fly out the Iranian nuclear material once the US takes possession of it. Isfahan is a large Iranian city, with about 2.2 million population. The fact that the IRGC can't challenge it is a huge testament to their current ineffectiveness.
This is a huge logistical flex. To build a usable runway while under an active bombing campaign. If the US really wanted to flex against them, they would park a working Burger King on the end of the ramp. Next to the NCO club, with a stripper pole.
Git yer priorities straight! First, NCO club, then that other stuff.
ReplyDelete31 miles from over two million potential enemies... Yow.
Iran's short-range ballistic missiles can reach way more than 31 miles.
Anybody know what Iran has for really up close?
YUP. no one does logistical "flex" like the US Gov't. when they want too that is. to me, this is a big ass PR deal. made to make the "folks" back home know "we doing the right thing" kind of bullshit. read history and you will see it wasn't always done like this.
ReplyDeleteI'll take "things that never happened" for 1000, alex.
ReplyDeleteI'll believe it when I see it.
