Oh, oh no, not at all. We call our numbers "Arabic numerals" because they got to europe through arabic merchants. And actually even at that, it should be said they got to SPAIN through arabic merchants, it would be the christian spaniards who would actually carry them to itally and popularize them there, (most notably St Isisore of Seville and some pope whose name I forgot), and then it would be the italians that got the numbers to look close to how they do nowadays to some degree, and even then the real "arabic numerals" we use nowadays come from 16th century germany after they were modified for the printing press.
The system itself also doesn't come from the arabs. It actually started in flipping India of all places (bloody poos) not that it really matters because while they get the pride of making a base 10 decimal system with 0 in it... That's about as similar to the modern system as it gets until the Spaniards and Italians either invented or reintroduced (from the greek system) most mathematical operations we use nowadays. Hell its not until Fibonacci (yes that one) went full autist translating every type of latin and greek mathematical equation he could to them that everyone else figured out they were as useful as they are, mofo practically invented 90% of the system.
Arabs and middle easterns use what the medievals called "eastern arabic numerals" aka the numerals actually native to the arab peninsula. And yeah... they're bad. Like real bad. Tells you something when the POOS are more advanced than that by comparison.
It's an iranian missile closer to a cruiser missile than an actual SAM. It shares some avionics with the shaheds and probably with the Sadid-1 (maybe related to the toophan-TOW) missiles.

it's over guys... they shot an unmanned drone with the maneuverability of a fat guy on a scooter down... the US has officially been put on fraud status...
Uhh USA-hegemony bros why some 3rd world shitskins can shoot down our drones over international waters and go unpunished? Surely USA military might is able to deter any hostile actions in the region right?
And Yemen, and Iraq too since their militias have been uppity lately. Maybe also Lebanon and Syria too to clean them from Iranian proxies.
One carrier group per each country should be enough right?
What are you some pinko commie shitskin?
A 1000 marines would be able to roll over entire middle east. One carrier group and the entire region would be begging not to flatten them back to the stone age
It’s our own fault, we let Russia get away with being moronic, and now every shitskin hive from Mali to Delhi thinks they can do it on purpose. Someone’s gonna have to get a JDAM down their throat to set the record straight.
>Surely USA military might is able to deter any hostile actions in the region right?
We can always cut off the $688 million worth of humanitarian aid we've been annually providing to Yemen since 2015.
>and go unpunished?
USN will delete the sam unit responsible, other responsible units such as radars, and maybe some targets of opportunity in the area. Just like they did after the Mason incident. It's kinda lame and non-escalatory, but I guess USA doesn't want to get involved
Not a good one. The G-tolerances on missiles are insane because they have to be. 3d printed materials will warp and destroy themselves under significant load.
358? is that confirmed? last time was a Buk iirc
That's what the video says, im sure it was a Buk
>Buk
More than likely Kub, I don't think they have Buk
Would Wagner have given them Buks? I remember there was all the propaganda about Wagner giving hezbollah Buks
>0.3% PK
>against a drone as agile as a flying brick
Rofl
That's an insult to bricks.
>358 missiles
>ALART
iran makes missiles with video feed?
It was a slow moving loitering anti-air missile and yes it has a camera on the front
Seems like people are getting tired of the US flying military drones in their neighborhood
It was in international waters
Houthis are shooting down drones outside of their own airspace
So? Israel is shooting down Houti missiles outside their airspace.
Lesson learned: don't fly drones near an active war.
Is 358 a type of missile or...?
Yes its the missile type
Does that say 358? I thought the numbers we use came from Arabic
Oh, oh no, not at all. We call our numbers "Arabic numerals" because they got to europe through arabic merchants.

Tho the yemeni one is apparently made of spare parts from wish
heh. no. The USN seized several '358' being smuggled from iran.

Iran exports they don't smuggle.
It's done illegally hiding weapons in civilian ships as cover.
The military doesn't have to deliver weapons.
What's on board? What are you hauling?
>declare something other than your actual cargo on the manifest
Text book smuggling
It's smuggling if the country is exporting embargoed goods
>embargoed
Iran and Yemen consent, chud.
who?
The Iranians illicitly export arms to the Houthi in violation of a UN embargo. That makes it smuggling.
No they fired 358 missiles at 1 drone
You jest, but the Blackbird intercept over the USSR was 50+ missiles for 1 plane IIRC.
are you implying the soviets shot down an SR-71?
Fugg it was an U2, am drunk.
Are you talking about the U-2?
Delusional

>ywn be a operator piloting a predator being pursued by 358 missiles in a middle east hotbed
Why even live
I hope that some kind of model number and not the number of attempts XD
it's over guys... they shot an unmanned drone with the maneuverability of a fat guy on a scooter down... the US has officially been put on fraud status...
Second drone shot down*
Uhh USA-hegemony bros why some 3rd world shitskins can shoot down our drones over international waters and go unpunished? Surely USA military might is able to deter any hostile actions in the region right?
I think we should go full boots on the ground nation building in Iran!
And Yemen, and Iraq too since their militias have been uppity lately. Maybe also Lebanon and Syria too to clean them from Iranian proxies.
One carrier group per each country should be enough right?
Chinese hands typed this post.
What are you some pinko commie shitskin?

Iraq already explored that theme. Iran will be a deconstruction of the nation building genre.
Oh please. If the US did respond militarily you'd be crying about it.
It’s our own fault, we let Russia get away with being moronic, and now every shitskin hive from Mali to Delhi thinks they can do it on purpose. Someone’s gonna have to get a JDAM down their throat to set the record straight.

>USN will delete the sam
Oh like the US blew up an unrelated red pickup truck after the Bagram Air Base bombing
I already admitted it's lame and non-escalatory, what more do you want? Do you want me to move my own goalposts for you?
few dozen towelheads got bombed to smithereens in their safehouses, but nice to see thirdies still value blowing shit up over their own lives
>It's against my policy to sweat the small stuff.
Impressive video quality from missile's seeker
This is most likely the 2022 shot down of a saudi predator, since you can see in the footage it's over land.
maybe
at least using actual aa missiles and not just ramming them with their f-5s
Wouldn't using their F-5s be a massive risk?
About 0.2793296089% accuracy if my back-of-the-napkin math is correct. Is this typical for air defense?
>)
yes
I don't think threat warning receivers would notice this since it's not rocket powered.
Blankethead boys finna be surprised when the next one shoots back
Still no actual news of this second shoot down. I'll wager it's old footage from 2022. Here's the aftermath
man those guys must really like us if they're praying to our trash
Houthis are too dumb to operate such systems. What group of "advisors" are there with the ? Russians? Iranians?xxnmay
War thunder gamers
And US will take it like a b***h. LMAO buckbroken nation
We don't fly MQ-1s anymore we retired them five years ago. It's either Saudi or UAE.
So we can assume that these weapons are already in Iraq.
yeah
Its just resting.
>starts walking slowly
It's funny how we're letting them shoot down these obsolete antiques, letting them get overconfident before hitting them with the tic-tacs.
both of these drones are from the UAE. theyre Predator XP variants. i think the antenna is different.
>monkey model!
whats your point?

Do Thirdies really?
You can 3D print an anti aircraft missile.
but can you download the files is the real question.
Not a good one. The G-tolerances on missiles are insane because they have to be. 3d printed materials will warp and destroy themselves under significant load.
