    … How many villages in southern Lebanon has the IDF captured, again?

    Let me guess, you think declaring victory and running away in 2006 meant they won, right?

    Man, you should talk to Emperor Gowron. You guys share some ideas.

    Edit: and no, cutting edge weapons systems on the Iranian/Russian side have not been used. The west would literally salivate at the opportunity to get some real world data on the S500.

    Also, the purpose of American weapons systems is not to be the best. The purpose is to be an expensive and effective way to funnel middle class money to the stock holders of Boeing and Raytheon. Good military systems are as effective as they need to be while being cheap enough to manufacture in large numbers. An anti missle defense system that costs 2 million per missile intercepted when the missiles themselves cost 10 - 100k is an absolute failure, even if it intercepts everything it targets.

    Frankly, the country with the most impressive drone program in the world is Yemen.
