Did world war 3 just start?

[Dead Duck]

When I was in Turkey 9 out of 10 Turks liked Americans but that 10th wanted to kill you. Now those 9 have been purged from official positions...time to purge them from NATO.

They're just mad because we eat their National Bird.

We even have a holiday where it’s the main course and stuff it.

The Saudi thing could be a serious match in a tinder box.

Wait.

Does "tinder box" still mean the same thing it did when I was a kid?

On INGO? I'd say yes. On other parts of the Internet? Signs point to "No".

At the risk of sounding like a certain group in the Nevada desert (the 432nd Operations Group to be exact) these aren't drones. The MQ-1 Predator and MQ-9 Reaper are remotely piloted aircraft. What the Houthis sent to the tank farm would be guided cruise missiles. The Air Force developed similar weapons to be launched and guided from bombers in WWII.

The expensive part of a cruise missile is the guidance. If somebody is do the flying from the ground all of need to do is crash it on the target. Don't need a laser designator, don't need a Hellfire. Depending on how it's launched (Desert Hawk used a giant slingshot and that was 15 years ago) don't need a runway.

 

[BugI02]

I thought I had read some commercial drones are capable of return to their launch point in case of loss of signal. I assume that IP is fixed by GPS. With sufficient expertise, would it not be possible to pre-load the co-ordinates of a target in that cache, so an attack would simply require shutting down the signal once the drones were established in flight?

In such an attack, jamming would likely prove ineffective

In other breaking news, it is looking like temperatures below 32 degrees Fahrenheit are at least partially responsible for the transition of water into ice.

Someone really wants to start a war with Iran.

The attack on a major Saudi oil facility originated geographically from Iranian territory, with a series of low-altitude cruise missiles fired from at least one location in western region of the country, per two US officials familiar with the intel.

Ahh....
Now the real trick is to start a war without actually firing a shot.

Yeah, and his name is Ali Khamenei. What I can't figure out is what he expects to gain from it
