#3 /\ Russia also has Iran....

Russian-Iranian Cooperation and Threats to U.S. Interests

Snippet from the link:

Iran’s complex, direct attack against Israel on April 13 is remarkably similar to Russian-perpetrated attacks on Ukraine, employing one-way attack drones as well as cruise and ballistic missiles.

Perhaps one could safely assume there are numerous Russian advisors and technicians in Iran. The rather timid IDF response to the recent rocket attack from Iran was rather telling.

Egypt & Syria had Russian advisors in 1967 and 1973.

The rather timid IDF response to the recent rocket attack from Iran was rather telling.

It wasn't a counter-attack Besoeker. It was, like sending somebody their photo taken through optical sights.

...They can keep it. It'll be fun to watch racist - and I mean, rabid KKK level - Russians deal with the locals. This ain't the Cold War anymore.
