Sounds like Iran has rolled the dice and launched an air strike on Israel

Estimated to take nine hours for the drones to reach Israel

Looks like uk will be involved with planes departing from RAF Akrotiri

if the forumengers know then surely the israeli secret services do, wonder how many will even get to israeli airspace

1100 or so miles, so not the swiftest of drones.
I don't think I've seen the speed of Shahed drones.

You would guess so given Netanyahu has addressed the nation

Expectation is that cruise missiles follow later and if they use them, ballistics after that, timed to all arrive at the same time

Be interesting to see if hezbollahare active again, the launched a large barrage last night

You’d think that carrying tens of millions of people 30,000 feet in the air would illicit an extreme level of safety awareness not, we like it but how cheap can we make them

Gulf War 1, Dubya told us 'Patriot is 42 for 43'.

Aah, so these are the budget/Chad Valley/Amstrad drones?

Ask the Ukrainians, the have been fairly effective there. They are slow but fly very low, I expect the Americans will pick most of them off before they even reach israel

I wonder if the Iranians want to launch a not-so-successful attack on Israeli? Revenge has been done but not so well as to provoke a counter strike that's needs a response etc that ramps up to all out war.

have they landed yet ?

Amazing photos, but doesn’t look very spontaneous does it? They’ve woken up knowing they’re going to have a little fisticuffs later that day.
Any news article on it just seems to describe the photos.

Well, at least some of them know how the horses feel: getting hit by some toff dressed in silk.

I fucking hate horse racing and the entire horse betting universe. Every time I have hope for humanity, I am reminded that horse racing exists.

Aintree’s in Liverpool, m8.

not so well as to provoke a counter strike

My understanding is that Israel have any number of detailed attack plans in the drawer on how to take out nuclear facilities in Iran. This is an excellent opportunity to execute one of them.

Looks like something the stereophonics would have sung about back in day.

Which naturally means none of the jockeys are toffs.

There’s a non-zero chance that those Venn circles overlap.

Tbf horse racing attracts a pretty wide range of classes.

Yep, “Sport of Kings” my arse it is. It’s just a betting vehicle for sadists and corrupt as fuck.

Estate Agents ?

i feel the same about boxing, full of truly horrible people and characters, in bed with horrible countries and corporations. get in the sea the lot of them ... maybe with the exception of some grass roots boxing clubs who do good work in the community.
