Key Differences:

- Quantity vs. Quality: Iran has a significantly larger military in terms of personnel and some equipment categories, but much of its conventional arsenal is older and less technologically advanced due to sanctions. Israel, while smaller, boasts a highly advanced, well-trained military with cutting-edge technology, often supported by the US.
- Asymmetric vs. Conventional: Iran focuses on asymmetric warfare, including a large missile and drone program, and leverages proxy forces in the region. Israel prioritizes conventional air superiority, advanced missile defense, and rapid mobilization.
- Nuclear Ambiguity: Israel is widely believed to possess a nuclear arsenal (though undeclared), providing a powerful deterrent. Iran has enriched uranium to near-weapons-grade levels, but weaponizing it would take additional time.

Terrain Comparison:
- Iran: Iran benefits from its vast size and varied, often mountainous terrain (Zagros and Elburz mountains, large deserts). These natural barriers provide strategic depth and make a full-scale ground invasion extremely challenging, favoring defensive operations and guerrilla warfare. Control of the Strait of Hormuz is also a key strategic asset.
- Israel: Israel is a smaller nation with limited strategic depth. However, it uses its terrain to its advantage defensively. Features like the Galilee's hilly and mountainous terrain, the Jordan Rift Valley, and the Judean Mountains provide natural barriers and high ground for defense. The Golan Heights, in particular, offer significant strategic and intelligence advantages due to their elevation. Israel's compact size also allows for rapid force mobilization and efficient air defense coverage.

Ai slop

How many of those 335 aircraft remain after the Israeli strikes?

>>507564714
too soon shmuley too soon

>>507564714
Indeed, but it's accurate.

>Troops
>Aircraft
>Tanks
>Submarines
>Terrain
Do you think these are the only factors? How about morale of themselves and their allies? Kikes have 0 sympathy outside of bought and paid for actors.

>>507564572 (OP)
Defence spending figures are meaningless since they are not in PPP prices.
Everything built locally (missiles and drones) is affected only by PPP prices.

>>507564572 (OP)
Idk but a ground war between both would be kino of the highest order

>>507565120
Israel's Allies:

Primarily the United States (major military and diplomatic support). Growing security cooperation with Arab nations (Egypt, Jordan, UAE, Bahrain, Morocco, and discreetly Saudi Arabia), driven by shared concerns about Iran. Also strong defense ties with Germany, UK, France, India, Greece, and Cyprus.

Iran's Allies:

Mainly its "Axis of Resistance" of non-state actors: Hezbollah (Lebanon), Iraqi Shia Militias, Houthi Movement (Yemen), and Palestinian factions. Historically, Syria was a key state ally, but now more complex due to ongoing conflicts. Internationally, deepened strategic ties with Russia and seeks closer relations with China, both aiming to counter US influence.

>>507565120
And the shia have a culture of sacrifice. They will endure the air campaign as long as it takes. Israel goofed.

>>507565292
Americans are not allies of Israel. Greeks are not. Greece is the most "antisemitic" country in Europe. These countries threaten their stability by entertaining the idea of deploying their troops to fight Israel's war.

>>507565292
American support is collapsing. That above all else has pushed israel to war.

>>507565292
>Israel's Allies
>ZOG, ZOG golems, and ZOG client states
Who knew?

>>507565157
Iran GDP according to wikipedia:
$463.747 billion nominal
$1.782 trillion PPP
That means Iran has a 4x-5x leverage between nominal/PPP prices.
Iran's MIC is probably 3x that of israel in real terms.

>>507564572 (OP)
>Israel's compact size also allows for rapid force mobilization
pure fantasy. lacking of strategic depth is never an advantage

>>507564572 (OP)
None of this is relevant, you retarded monkey.

There's not going to be a physical on the ground conflict between the two. The most important aspect is always logistics. Either side could have 1 million tanks yet what's the point when they can't reach their destination? What's the point of advanced aircraft when they're out of ordnance or when that ordnance becomes the new status quo and doesn't do anything new? Look at the situation in Ukraine. Both sides have used hundreds of thousands of drones, Russia has fired thousands of missiles, likely in the tens of thousands at this point, alongside various guided bombs and millions of artillery shells to top it all off. What's changed? Fuck all.

Get the picture yet? The conflict won't end unless both sides agree to a reprieve or one side gives up. It's likely that the former happens yet again but not the latter. And what meaningful escalation could there be anyway? Israel could launch 1000 missiles or bombs at Tehran, but unless they're nuclear each would only blow up 1 target or half of it if even. That means that the city would still exist because it has more than a mere 1000 buildings, more like in the half a million range.

And here you look at some force comparison bullshit like a retarded teenager would do. Pathetic.

>Israel, while smaller, boasts a highly advanced, well-trained military
Stopped right here.
The usable parts of the IDF (read: those who could efficiently kill civilians and irregular troops) were grinded down in Gaza. The remaining ground troops are either fucking useless office workers with a Tavor or actual military suffering PTSD. They might add conscripted ultra-orthodoxs too, but they will be only usable as sandbags.
Israel is toast if they have to continue this alone. Hopefully they have to continue this alone.

Which they then sell to china.

there are 2,315 km (1429 miles) between iran and israel, there is iraq and jordan between them, and it takes 26 hours for them to reach each other.
ground forces are effectively useless in this conflict, and if either of them think they can reach each other they'll just lose everything in the stretch as both have a shitload of shorter range munitions too.

Iran is a big mountainous desert, it would be impossible to invade it. The only way would be some VDV-tier meat grinder attempt at dropping off thousands of paratroopers into Tehran, but even that would be almost impossible.

>>507564572 (OP)
Iran just anally penetrated the shit out of Haifa and Tel Aviv. My question is why didn't they do that in 2023 and 2024 when Hezbollah was fighting the kikes? the only thing I can think about is that Americans were giving Hezbollah false hopes of truce and peace. Other than that I can't think of anything

>>507567205
Mountains don't mean shit when you don't have the capabilities to control the air to any degree. Even in insurgencies like Afghanistan and Kurdistan which are desert mountains all the insurgents just had to hide all day from american or for the kurds case turkish planes and drones and do gay little ieds or shoot and runs cause they got turned into hamburger meat otherwise. If israel was to get involved in a full scale conflict their goals wouldn't be occupying iran, just blowing up all their capabilities to wage war like what happened in desert storm 1 to iraq. They could do this and could do it very easily if america and other western countries ran sorties over iran and shot missiles along with the kike airforce(most likely they case if it truly happened). I honestly doubt anything past bombing for a week or so happens as Iran knows it can't win and the kikes know its not truly worth it to go all in especially with it giving more damage than it is getting currently in the exchange and its occupation of more of gaza and syria currently happening. Stranger things have happened though

>>507568131
But Afghanistan is a poor shithole, and you failed even there. How the fuck do you think Iran is going to be a success if they’re more advanced and actually have money + support from countries like China, Russia, and Pakistan?
God damn, you’re fucking retarded.

Not pictured: USA (little Israel)

>>507568518
Yeah man all those countries would start ww3 for fucking iran lmao. I should have noticed from your flag you would be some moroccan retard scamming tourists in your date farming uncles cab selling them "cannabis cards". Your mother is a whore, goat herder.

how much did they leech from the amerigoy each year again

>>507568131
afghanistan won you fucking retard

>>507568660
Where in any of my posts do I say that I support Iran you absolute voidbrained kike? I’m just saying that invading Iran would be a complete failure since they’re too big to fall, especially since you couldn’t even successfully invade a shithole like Afghanistan.
I can’t wait to see you die in the desert again though LOL.

>>507568814
European people have zero reading comprehension. It is unreal. I just have to assume every european flag I see on here is a 27 iq muhammad cause no way are you fucking spastics this retarded.

you forgot to mention how the revolutionary guard are zealots who will fight to the death, Ukraine is a perfect example of what happens when you run out of willing combatants. Iran has no shortage of that.

>>507568844
Ok raheem. Your welfare check will be deposited soon so you can eat a doner. Also The horrors of america in the sand again we will lose 2000 people while killing 5 million again omg!!!!!!

Legit question why should anyone root for Iran? Overpopulated islamist theocratic shithole that gets bullied by a country 1/10th its size.

>>507564572 (OP)
either iran breaks through the iron dome/missile defence network and kills enough people or israel manages to strike enough iranian hideouts with bunker busting bombs. As of now, there is not enough false flag justification to use a nuke and the israelis know this so so hopefully this entire thing calms down for a few months so that the market can moon and pump my bags abit before the entire world gets destroyed, thx

>>507568814
Did Germany won against Soviets? Soviet Union collapsed and their mongrel soldiers went all back to Russia after all.

All religious fanatic terrorist organizations and dictatorship regimes.

Israel is the Heifer that is turning red with the blood of innocent it sheds, and will eventually be led onto the altar of usury, to be sacrificed to usher in the next arc of Clownworld: a fake, gay, retarded and shortlived technocracy forced down everyone's throat in the aftermath of the most pointless war in human history.

>>507564572 (OP)
This is stupid and youre stupid
This is not a war between Israel and Iran. This is the US against Iran and Israel is the loose pitbull that they dont really control that well but they will keep pumping it with steroids and stakes for as long as it takes.
