Actually, the Romans has concrete and used it a lot. Turns out theirs was superior to most modern concrete.

Concrete is not the same as Portland cement.

Can you imagine thousands of them flying into Taiwan or the such.  There would be no way to knock them all down.  Drones completely change the battlefield.

Which is exactly why digging a canal as an alternative to going thru the Strait of Hormuz is a total waste of time and effort.

Wait until these drones start maneuvering like insects instead of aircraft...movie, Angel Has Fallen.

19,000 a day? Seems like a stretch, but I could easily believe 2,000 a day.

In any case...
Russia and China are going to keep re-supplying whatever forces are left in iran (and perhaps iranian-backed operatives in other muslim countries). And there seem to be -- at least for now -- plenty of "forces" left, perhaps given the authority to operate and target autonomously.

No matter how much Mr. Trump keeps saying "they're destroyed", somehow they seem to keep hitting back. Not with great numbers, but the accuracy of the continuing drone/missile attacks is evident.

The only way to STOP these attacks is going to involve killing them all.
Because whoever is "left" will keep launching the drones, missiles, etc.

What options/resources will that require?

Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said it was expanding its strikes targeting Iran’s infrastructure after completing a wave of strikes on several Iranian regime headquarters.

“The IDF is currently expanding the scope of its strikes against the infrastructure of the Iranian regime in additional areas in western and central Iran, with the aim of broadly and systematically degrading the regime’s command-and-control capabilities,” the IDF said.

Earlier Sunday, the Israeli Air Force completed a wave of strikes targeting the Iran’s infrastructure around Hamedan in western Iran, the IDF said, noting several “key” headquarters belonging to the IRGC and the Basij Forces were struck.

The IDF said these headquarters were where the Iranian regime managed and advanced attacks against Israel and other countries across the Middle East.

This graphic shows Kharg Island's location relative to Iran and the Strait of Hormuz, along with details about its importance as Iran's largest oil terminal. (Fox News)

Kharg Island is a strategically vital island in the Persian Gulf that serves as the Iranian’s largest oil terminal and a crucial hub for its crude exports, an industry worth $50 billion.

The island, located roughly 35 miles off Iran’s Bushehr province in the country’s southwest, is about the size of New York City’s Central Park but carries huge importance for Iran’s economy.

The hub has a loading capacity of about 7 million barrels per day, and roughly 90% of Iran’s crude oil exports pass through it.

Most of those exports are shipped to China and India, underscoring the island’s importance not only to Iran’s energy trade but also to broader global oil markets.

The U.S. launched a bombing raid on the island on Friday.

President Donald Trump said at the time that the U.S. had deliberately avoided targeting the island’s oil infrastructure, while warning that could change if Iran moved to disrupt shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.

I was involved in the planning and development of this.

Very interesting. Obviously you have better insight into this issue than most.
Live in  harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.

19,000 a day? Seems like a stretch, but I could easily believe 2,000 a day.


Ukrainian Commander-in-Chief Colonel General Oleksandr Syrskyi provided details on the end strength goals of the Russian Unmanned Systems Forces (USF) and Russian first-person view (FPV) drone production. Syrskyi reported on March 12 that the Russian military command plans to expand the Russian USF to an end strength of 101,000 by April 1 and that Russia is now capable of producing over 19,000 FPV drones daily.

Syrskyi noted that the Russian military command is therefore accelerating the formation of drone units, especially in southern Ukraine, where Ukrainian forces are making significant gains in counterattacks that are causing operational and strategic effects across the theater ...

SAUDI ARABIA SAW THIS SHIT COMING 45 YEARS AGO

While the entire world panicked about the Strait of Hormuz,

Saudi Arabia had a 1,200 km pipeline ready to go.

From the Persian Gulf straight to the Red Sea.

Bypassing Hormuz completely.

Built in 1981. Activated in 2026.  .  .  .

https://x.com/antmillionsbot/status/2033154247844380713

Reagan saw this shit coming 45 years ago, too.  At the same time the Saudi's built this, Reagan proposed a $26 billion investment that would place around 430 satellites in place deployed in two layers.  The satellites would be armed with ABM technology, eventually evolving into lasers, that could be used to identify missiles about to launch and destroy them on the launch pad.

The Democrats blocked it, and have been blocking it ever since.

Iran Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi claimed in an interview on Sunday that Mojtaba Khamenei, the new Iranian supreme leader, is in “excellent health” after speculation over his condition following reports he was injured in the opening salvo of Operation Epic Fury.

Araghchi told Arabic-language news outlet Al-Araby Al-Jadeed that Khamenei remains “in control of the situation.”

Khamenei has yet to make a public appearance since succeeding his father, the late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

President Donald Trump on Saturday claimed to NBC News that he was hearing that the new leader may already be dead.
