29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
Revelation 19:11-21
11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords.
17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;
18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.
19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.
20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
21 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.
2 Thessalonians 2:8
8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
Zechariah 14:12
And this shall be the plague wherewith the Lord will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.
Isaiah 11:4
But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth: with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.
Daniel 7:10
A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.
Hebrews 10:27
But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
"The Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps on June 18 announced that the country’s first class of hypersonic ballistic missile, the Fattah, had been used to engage Israeli targets in the early hours of the day."
"The Revolutionary Guard, which operations Iran’s ballistic missile arsenal, stated that employment of the Fattah marked “the beginning of the end” for Israel’s “mythical” missile defences."
"Unveiled in June 2023, the Fattah has a 1400 kilometre range, and according to Iranian sources uses a hypersonic glide vehicle to achieve a terminal speed of Mach 13 to Mach 15. Its combination of speed and manoeuvrability make it nearly impossible to intercept."
"With Israeli air defences have struggled to intercept attacks launched using much simpler ballistic missile classes, including relatively basic missile designs built in Yemen,
their viability against
more advanced missile classes
has long been in serious question.
Hypersonic glide vehicles represent one of the most challenge targets an air defence network can face."
"It also remains uncertain how large Iran’s arsenal of Fattah missiles is,and the missile class’ cost effectiveness compared to other classes. One possible use of the missiles would be to strike key Israeli air defence sites in order to serve as a force multiplier for the remainder of the ballistic missile arsenal, allowing cheaper missile classes to then penetrate Israeli air defences with greater success rates.
The success rates of Iranian
ballistic missile strikes
has already far exceeded
the expectations
of most Western assessments,
and is expected to continue to rise
as the Israeli
surface-to-air missile arsenal
is increasingly depleted.
(Sins of sister Sodom anybody?
Ez 16:49
She and her daughters
WERE ARROGANT!
overfed and unconcerned;
they did not help the poor and needy.
Wonder why we aint hearing about that
stated from the article above?
Your news is managed.)
"The Israeli Arrow, Barak 8 and David’s Sling systems capable of intercepting medium range missile attacks are estimated to have only a very small number of interceptors available compared to the size of the Iranian arsenals, with support from
U.S. Army THAAD anti-missile systems
based in Israel and from nearby
U.S. Navy AEGIS destroyers
only partly alleviating pressure
on the Israeli network."
"Although the Fattah hypersonic missile appears to be one of the most outstanding military assets in the Iranian Armed Forces, much remains uncertain regarding its impact on the war effort, with this depending on a number of factors including the system’s precision, the kinds of targets it is used against, and the number of missiles in Iran’s arsenal, among others. Should the system be able to deliver the capabilities Iranian government source have claimed, and should a significant arsenal have been built up since 2023, it has the potential to have a transformative impact not only on the current conflict,
"The people that are launching the cheaper, faster, more maneuverable missiles, and have more of them, than the other side has more expensive, harder to manufacture interceptors, have a built in advantage long term."
Started talking about this five years ago or so and just got laughed at by people thinking we just had some kinda magical cure all that was gonna be able to fix this problem.
Well?
Now what?
Cause Russia has that
(Hypersonic Glide Vehicle
Mach 13 = 9974 mph)
And China has that,
(Hypersonic Glide Vehicle
Mach 13 = 9974 mph)
and China
(at a minimum)
can put its in space
and hit anywhere in the world
including North America.
You are going to see shit.
You never ever thought
you were gonna see.
Promise.
Told ya it was:
"the truth you didn't wanna hear about."
Revelation 11:10
"...because these two prophets had tormented those who live on the earth."
"Dozens of US military aircraft are no longer on the tarmac at a major US base in Qatar, satellite images show — a possible move to shield them from eventual Iranian air strikes,as Washington weighs whether to intervene in Tehran’s conflict with Israel."
(What is even the question here anymore?)
"Between June 5 and 19, nearly all of the aircraft visible at the Al Udeid base are no longer anywhere in plain sight, according to images published by Planet Labs PBC and analyzed by AFP."
"Nearly 40 military aircraft — including transport planes like the Hercules C-130 and reconnaissance aircraft — were parked on the tarmac on June 5. In an image taken on June 19, only three aircraft are visible."
1) The U.S. has decided or is preparing for the possibility that it will provide Israel with aerial refueling support to dramatically accelerate its offensive air operations over Iran.
2) Joining the kinetic fight.
3) Preparing to deal with Iran attempting to close the Strait of Hormuz.
4) Providing a robust air bridge from the U.S. to the Middle East.
"The U.S. Navy is sending the supercarrier USS Nimitz and the rest of its strike group to the Middle East amid a new buildup of forces in the region ostensibly for defensive purposes, U.S. officials have told TWZ."
The buildup is simply to big,
involves moving to many assets
around the globe
and is happening to quickly:
"Fox News has separately reported that the decision to send Nimitz to the Middle East, though previously planned, has been accelerated by multiple months"
Hypersonic missiles, among other techniques, can trick air defence systems.
06/18/25
"On Tuesday, Iran said it hit a military intelligence centre and a Mossad spy agency operations planning centre, breaching Israel’s advanced missile defence systems – some of the most advanced in the world."
(Talked about that on here
I said I thought it was more strategic or nuclear.
Point is, they hit it.)
"In recent history, Israel has successfully intercepted most aerial attacks coming its way through these systems, such as its signature Iron Dome.
So how are Iranian missiles making it past Israel’s air defences?"
"The Iron Dome detects an incoming rocket or missile, determines its path and intercepts it. Israel said the Iron Dome is 90 percent effective. It became operational in 2011 after it was developed to counter rocket attacks during the war with Hezbollah in 2006."
(Thats important because:)
"Gatopoulos explained that the Iron Dome was designed to intercept low-level rockets that larger systems would not be able to detect.
Israel also has the Barak-8 surface-to-air missile system, which intercepts medium-range missiles; the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense system, which intercepts short-, medium- and intermediate-range ballistic missiles;
Iran still has way more ballistic missiles than that.
Fuel for them and command and control
would seem to issues for the Iranians.)
"...and the David’s Sling, which intercepts medium- to long-range missiles."
"All air defence systems are equipped with a limited number of interceptor missiles, and the exact number of interceptor missiles in Israel’s air defence systems is unknown to the public."
"How has Iran managed to break through?
While we do not know exactly how some Iranian missiles made it past Israeli air defence systems, there are a few possible ways Iranian drones and missiles managed to avoid interception."
"Exhausting interceptor missiles
One way Iran possibly evaded Israeli air defences is by exhausting Israel’s interceptor missiles."
“No system shoots down 100 percent [missiles] anyway,” Miron said, adding: “You cannot shoot down more missiles if you only have a limited number of interceptors.”
Gatopoulos said Iran has hypersonic missiles, a direct reaction to evolving and maturing ballistic missile defences. This is because one way to evade an air defence system is to use missiles that fly faster, giving the air defence system less time to react.'
(Its not only that they have less time.
The interceptors just cant catch up
to something going faster than they can.
Been warning about this threat to the US for years BTW.
See above about 8 THADD systems.)
"Miron said hypersonic missiles are difficult for air defence systems to intercept even if they are detected by radar."
"Some hypersonic missiles are also equipped with a hypersonic glide vehicle (HGV), a warhead attached to a missile that can manoeuvre and glide at speeds five times faster than the speed of sound."
(Roughly 3850 MPH.
2445 miles in the air from NY to LA BTW.)
"In Iran, the Fattah-2 uses the HGV. “It looks like a normal missile with a craft attached to the end of it,” Gatopoulos said.
That will be covered more extensively in a separate post
coming up.)
"He explained that besides travelling faster, HGVs also zigzag and do not move on a predictive path like regular ballistic missiles. Such quick, erratic movements evade air defence systems, which are designed to predict the path a missile will take."
(Its a problem yo.)
"Cruise missiles
Cruise missiles can also change their trajectory and become difficult to intercept, Miron said."
"Iran has cruise missiles in its arsenal, such as the Hoveyzeh missile, and has used such missiles against Israel. While these missiles are slower than ballistic missiles, they fly like pilotless planes, low and steady, sneaking past air defences."
"What are other ways air defence systems can be challenged?
Another way air defence systems can be tested is by overloading their systems by tricking them with decoys of drones and missiles, Miron added.
“It shows up as a threat on the radar, but in actuality, it’s not. And usually such decoys are used … to empty the interceptor missile reserveso that the actual missiles and drones can get through.”
"Could Iran or Israel run out of missiles?
Gatopoulos explained that
the conflict between Iran and Israel
is “attritional” at the moment."
(That does not favor Israel.)
“You can loiter there, but only up to a certain amount of time,” he added. He explained that while the US could possibly help Israel with air-to-air refuelling,
(Now you see why all the tankers left a few days ago?)
"adding external tanks on planes makes them lose stealth properties."
"Home Front Command says warhead dropped around 20 munitions randomly over 8-kilometer radius, with one hitting home and others unexploded but still posing threat"
"Iranian attacks have intensified in their frequency and reach since then, despite Israel having one of the most advanced air defense systems in the world."
"Iranian projectiles have been intercepted but some have hit Israeli cities including Tel Aviv, causing extensive damage to infrastructure and residential buildings.
"While Israel maintains air superiority over its enemy and possesses the capacity to strike targets deep inside Iran, the ongoing attacks suggest that missile threats to population centers remain a serious and unresolved challenge."
"Israel has long relied on its multilayered missile defense system to protect communities around the country against rocket barrages from militants in Gaza or Lebanon.Since the wars in the Middle East erupted following Hamas’ attack on southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, that list has grown to include fire from rebels in Yemen and Iran."
(This is what everybody is missing
and what I have been saying all along,
there arent "wars" going on in the Middle East,
they are all different fronts of the same war.
"Well what is the difference Andrew?"
The difference is,
if you understood why Israel
was taking out Iran's proxies
in the region?
Then you would have understood Israel
(and US matter of time)
going after Irans nuclear program
was the goal all along
and what that means for humaity.
If only there was a book.
"This gallery offers a visual account of a tense and unpredictable week in Israel, one marked by continued Iranian and Israeli strikes and questions about the limits of modern air defense.'
(The people that are launching the cheaper, faster, more maneuverable missiles, and have more of them, than the other side has more expensive, harder to manufacture interceptors, have a built in advantage long term.)
(I told honey right then, Israel is already having to ration
its interceptors. See why the buildup of US assets in the region now?)
"Israel’s Channel 12 has reported that
the latest wave of Iranian missiles
was intercepted by American air defence systems."
"On Tuesday, the public relations department of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced the launch of the twelfth wave of the “True Promise 3” operation, using heavy, long-range, two-stage Sejjil missiles.'
as Iran in starting to use it's more complex missiles.
It is not a good combination.)
"Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) on Wednesday announced the use of a super-heavy Sejil missile as part of what it said was the 12th wave of strikes on Israel."
"...the Sejil missile's launch against Israel marks the first time one of its prized assets was used in direct confrontation."
"Its real-world application also reveals a shift in gears in Tehran's deterrence calculations and response."
(Translation?
Now that we know you are low on interceptors?
Were gonna start using the big dogs.)
"The Sejil is manoeuvrable in all stages of flight, making it difficult to intercept by conventional air defence systems. Although details on its speed are unclear, Tehran reportedly stated that it is capable of reaching Tel Aviv in approximately seven minutes if launched from central Iran."
(Pretty damn fast however you wanna look at it.)
"Israeli authorities said on Thursday that the Sejil was successfully intercepted, with debris causing damage to a vehicle."
"Eyal Zamir says Iran had 2,500 missiles at start of campaign, was set to reach 8,000 in two years; military sources indicate Israel not running low on interceptors"
"Qatar and 19 other Arab and Islamic countries have jointly called for an immediate termination of Israeli attacks on Iran, urging diplomacy to resolve issues related to Iran’s nuclear program.'
"...the State of Qatar, People's Democratic Republic of Algeria, the Kingdom of Bahrain, Brunei Darussalam, the Republic of Chad, the Union of the Comoros, the Republic of Djibouti, the Arab Republic of Egypt, the Republic of Iraq, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, the State of Kuwait, the State of Libya, the Islamic Republic of Mauritania, the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Federal Republic of Somalia, the Republic of the Sudan, the Republic of Türkiye, the Sultanate of Oman, and the United Arab Emirates"
"Over two dozen U.S. Air Force KC-135R and KC-46A tankersfrom across the United States appeared on flight-tracking software yesterday evening, taking off from their bases and heading east over the Atlantic. It isn’t clear if they were ‘dragging’ any combat aircraft with them, but there wasn’t any obvious signs of that."
"While tanker movements in this direction are far from abnormal,such a large, near-simultaneous migration of the jets was very peculiar, especially at a time of extreme crisis in the Middle East.The exact reason for the mass deployment is unclear,
(Maybe to TMZ is is.)
"...although many of the potential answers
would indicate a change,
or preparations for a potential change,
in the current conflict between Israel and Iran.
(Well no kidding, thx.)
Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker
22,000 gallons of fuel.
Boeing KC-46 Pegasus
Carries 10% more fuel than the KC-135
so roughly 24,000 gallons.
(They have since landed at bases in the middle East and Europe.)
"At its peak, it appeared that at least 28 tankers were all heading east...these are precisely the assets that would be needed if the United States were going to change its support of Israel’s Operation Rising Lion, or if there were urgent concerns that the conflict is about to widen significantly."
"The U.S. is surging a second Navy aircraft carrier and dozens of Air Force tankers and fighters into the region as the Israel-Iran war continues."
"For the last 20 months,
(That would be Oct of 23 BTW,
when was Trump elected again?)
"U.S. forces have sent ground, air, and naval assets
into the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility..."
(Kinda how you knew the "Talks" with Iran were a sham
when we started building up assets 20 months ago.)
"There are approximately 40,000 U.S. troops in the area currently, including a Navy carrier strike group with another on the way, several fighter squadrons and two of the United States’ Terminal High Altitude Area Defense or THAAD systems, one of its most advanced missile defense interceptors."
(We only have 8 THADD systems
to start with.)
"The Pentagon recently sent additional air and naval assets to the area..."
"The military maintains 10 bases in the region, including major installations in Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates, as well as smaller outposts in Jordan and Syria, among others. There are also additional forces and support infrastructure in Turkey and Djibouti, although those are not under CENTCOM’s purview, which covers the Middle East, Egypt, and much of Central Asia, including Afghanistan and Pakistan."
"There are currently 2,500 service members in Iraq and roughly 1,500 in Syria."
"In Iraq, U.S. soldiers have at least two MIM-104 Patriot surface-to-air missile batteries — one in Irbil in Iraqi Kurdistan and another at the al-Asad airbase in the country’s west."
"The USS Carl Vinson Carrier Strike Group is in the Arabian Sea. Along with the carrier and its embarked Carrier Air Wing 2, the task force includes the guided-missile cruiser USS Princeton and the Arleigh Burke-class destroyers USS Sterett and USS William P. Lawrence. Carrier Air Wing 2 includes close to 50 fighters and strike aircraft across three squadrons of F/A-18E/F strike fighters and one squadron each of F-35C fighters and E/A-18G Growler electronic warfare fighters."
"Three other destroyers, the USS Sullivans, the USS Arleigh Burke, and the USS Thomas Hudner, are in the eastern Mediterranean."
"Another pair of independent destroyers are in the Red Sea, per USNI News."
"In Bahrain, the headquarters of the 5th Fleet, the Navy also has four anti-mining vessels."
"Soon to join the Carl Vinson is the USS Nimitz, whose deployment to the region was moved up earlier this month. The Nimitz...will arrive with four guided-missile destroyers and similar air power to the Vinson with Carrier Air Wing 17. Originally meant to replace the Carl Vinson, the two carrier groups will overlap in their deployment to the CENTCOM area of responsibility, a tactic that has been regularly used in the last 20 months."
"The U.S. Air Force also maintains a strong presence at some of CENTCOM’s major bases. Ali al-Salem Air Base in Kuwait hosts the 386th Air Expeditionary Wing, while the 379th Air Expeditionary Wing is in Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar. Both installations include dozens of combat aircraft as well as military drones such as the MQ-9 Reaper."
"In the last week, more than two dozen Air Force refueling tankers flew across the Atlantic to the Middle East and Europe, in a buildup of logistical support. Earlier this week, Reuters reported that an unspecified number of F-16, F-22, and F-35 fighter jets were being sent over."
"U.S. forces also maintain bombers and other aircraft at their Indian Ocean base on the island of Diego Garcia."
"If
the ongoing fighting
in the Middle East were to spread..."
(If", "Were"?
It already has spread.
Just look at whats happened since the Hamas attack.
For I will gather all the nations for battle against Jerusalem, and the city will be captured, the houses looted, and the women ravished. Half of the city will go into exile, but the rest of the people will not be removed from the city. / Then the LORD will go out to fight against those nations, as He fights in the day of battle.
Joel 3:2
I will gather all the nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. There I will enter into judgment against them concerning My people, My inheritance, Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations as they divided up My land.
Joel 3:12-14
Let the nations be roused and advance to the Valley of Jehoshaphat, for there I will sit down to judge all the nations on every side. Swing the sickle, for the harvest is ripe. Come, trample the grapes, for the winepress is full; the wine vats overflow because their wickedness is great. Multitudes,multitudes in the valley of decision! For the Day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.
"Whether the deployment to Guam is simply a stepping stone for a further deployment to Diego Garcia is yet to be seen."
(There is just absolutely no reason to do that.
As you can see by the distribution of assets listed
in the previous article above?
We are getting ready for WWIII.)
"Theoretically, strikes could be launched directly from Guam, although as the aircraft would need to fly over other countries en route to Iran there is a greater possibility that operational security (OPSEC) could be compromised. From Diego Garcia, in comparison, a flight to Iran would in essence be a straight run over the ocean."
