If the US did Operation Grim Beeper and wiped out all the Taliban head command in one night, we'd never hear the end of how great the US is.

When Israel did it, it was brushed aside and memoryholed by this board. Why?

>>63956935 (OP)
People said it was pretty cool when it happened, there was nothing much else to say beyond that.

Low-Quality Thread.

It was nerds with soldering irons, hardly something /k/ worthy.

Sorry jew bro, but it is what it is.

Funny I remember something completely different.

>>63956956
>The GREATEST STEALTH OPERATION OF ALL TIME did not involve military technology worth discussing, and it's actually politics
Alright, any other takes?

So I assume Hezbollah has been destroyed and nothing stops IDF from taking over Lebanon now, correct?

>>63956966
> GREATEST STEALTH OPERATION OF ALL TIME
purely subjective opinion

thats's right
phonebombs have been around for decades

But it WAS pretty cool. I really don't understand the mindset of Palestinians, instead of buying multiple types of pagers they decide to go to some shady never before seen vender because they were cheap? And they didn't search for bugs or any other weird shit? At this point I genuinely believe that Israel actually wants Palestinians to exist because at this point they could wipe them out completely in a week. I mean completely, every man, woman, and child.

It was discussed. There was very little to go on technically, because mosad didn't publish anything substantial and speculation only takes you that far. When hezbolla started getting their asses kicked in general the discussion pivoted to that. Then they surrendered, meaning no new developments.

While it is interesting, no one has take the time to really dive into it. Normally that would be wierd. But it's not like there haven't been a lot of high profile glowie ops to discuss live this winter with syria and spring, between Iran and Ukraine.

I mean, what's there to discuss? Sure it was a nice piece of glowie shit, but beyond that? Discuss the specific bomb mixture they used? Go into the riveting details of a shell corp? Frankly, the most discussion worthy part of it was the incompetence of Hezbollah to be so utterly caught in the scheme.

>>63956935 (OP)
Only seething browns were crying about it.

It's not that it wasn't cool. It's just, you know... the subversion and such

>>63956935 (OP)
it was far from 'brushed aside' its widely regarded as one of the top spy/sabotage ops in human history
and it ws topped shortly after with operation rising lion

because the beeper gambit harmed a lot of civis. it was a fast and loose op.

>>63957394
Why didn't the US just do that in Afghanistan instead of fighting and losing a forever war?

>>63956935 (OP)
Are you fucking retarded? It would have been literally the opposite, and the US would have been condemned for war crimes, because there would obviously be collateral damage.

>>63956935 (OP)

I don't think you could even pull A Night of the Long Beeps on the Taliban because they didn't have a centralized command structure or logistics chain. Israel was able to pull it off because Hezbollah bought it all in bulk and distributed it to their officers. Your average Taliban cell leader probably just uses a cell phone he bought with his own money.

>>63957050
>instead of buying multiple types of pagers they decide to go to some shady never before seen vender because they were cheap?

You're running the risk of having the pagers be incompatible. You want the same types of pagers for simplicity's sake, but they should have procured them in small numbers from multiple vendors minimize the risk of their being tampered with.

>>63957403
I sincerely doubt they used beepers

>>63956967
hezbollah is pretty much dead yeah. IDF is still in lebanon, lebanese army is taking their bases, their leaders are being assassinated daily without retaliation, and hezbollah is talking about disarming.

A lot of things get memory holed on 4chan like the Hamas fighters pissing themselves, VDV kiev massacre, or assad collapsing

Like to this day you still see /pol/mutts gloating about shit the taliban did in 2012 meanwhile like 300 russians die a day imagine if that was the US.

>>63957477
>300 russians die a day imagine if that was the US
I mean think about how many American men got permanently maimed and had their lives destroyed in Afghanistan and for what? Literally for nothing.

>>63957489
as opposed to the 1,000,000 Russian/North Korean/soon to be Laotian casualties in Ukraine that are dying or being maimed for?

>>63957489
if even 5% of what has happened to russia in ukraine happened to any western country this site would spam it 24/7. The USN equivalent of the Moskva alone would dominate all discussion for all eternity

>>63957489
Each single one of them enjoys better medical treatment and more dignity than every Russian veteran of this clown show combined

>>63956935 (OP)
we wont know anything about the details for 10 -30 years until or ever.

it decapitated the leadership and morale was down for sure though. lots of deaths from just laying in a crowded 4th world tier hospital without being seen.

>>63957477
vdv was a meme for months.

the 155th Marines getting wiped out has been memory holed though.

assad collasping was a lot of shill seething as well about israel war crimes or something then dropped and brought up again for a day for assad loyalists getting genocided but they have no allies or money for shill farms except one fat whore muzzie girl in australia. kek.

The United States was always using SIGNET spookery to track down and kill Taliban leadership. The issue is we essentially killed off all their senior leadership (a few times over) who had any degree of trust in wireless or digital based communicaitons. The surviving head honchos had long cultivated actual low tech lines of communication and supply that would have required HUMINT assets to compromise. And that was super difficult for us with how corrupt and hilariously compromised the Afghan security forces were. So we DID hear a lot about it when the US did it. That was just 15-20 years ago.

Grim Beeper isn't talked about as much cause given that the IDF and Mosssad have been up to much more recent wacky chicannery.

>>63956935 (OP)
They blew up entire supply of pagers and Motorola walkie talkies. You know who also uses pagers and walkie-talkies? Nurses, doctors, firefighters crane operators and such. Imagine bragging about blowing up all Subarus in the USA just to get rid of lesbians.

>>63957791
based
literally like top 3 best ops in human history. only topped by wiping every general of the enemy in a couple of hours while the enemy's entire counter is 1 off-duty private on vacation hit by chance.

>>63957791
They blew up a specific batch or communication devices they tricked Hezbollah into buying from their company, they didn't just use their jew sorcery to randomly blow up all pagers and walkie talkies

>>63957890
So they aren't going to blow up all the Subarus?

That's a let down.

>>63957791

Ill start

yes
besides the almost deadly assassinations
they also conduct raids into lebanon unimpeded

>>63957935
almost daily

might be because of the genocide

Pulling a Spiderweb on Iran eclipsed it for greatness. That and Iran somehow came off as more retarded than their own proxies which is kind of impressive.

it was a mass terrorist attack

After the first few months it was 2 orders of magnitude less than what Russia is currently experiencing. Not comparable in the slightest.
