Notice how those are on the ground, at a known location (an airbase), so a photo can be planned for in advance.

They are decidedly not fast jets travelling on an attack mission at close to the speed of sound.

You did say radar... Anyway, good look snapping a picture of a ~20m jet travelling almost at mach1 from at least 500km away with a camera that is on a fixed orbit so you dont control where it is at a particular time. (and even if you did unless you took a picture of it during take off, that also wouldnt tell you where it was flying from.)

You cant track a plane from 3600km away with a radar (how far the UK is from Iran), if for no other reason than the curve of the earth puts hundreds of kilometers of rock between them. And wreckage is pretty easy to identify for experts, you can find fairly small pieces that could only be from one aircraft type.

So they couldnt get the type of plane correct, but we're to assume that they could tell where it flew from? Seems legit.

Its not "easy" but its not that difficult either, I've overseen a migration from a gitea instance to github (coporate policy, not my choice) that had information that needed to be retained for regulatory purposes. it took a bit of work, but only a single engineer working on it on and off around other tasks for a few weeks including testing and dry runs.

Which part of him being a mercenary for an aggressive fanatical race waging a war of expansion lead you to believe he is supposed to be a good man?

It should be pointed out that those two changes are very much not equal. Energy density has only increased by a factor of ~5, whereas cost has fallen by a factor of ~90 (by eye).

Its not a real language unless you have 11 different valid ways of instantiating an object, each with their own subtle pitfalls.

Resident Doctor (UK)

In the United Kingdom, a resident doctor, known until 2024 as a junior doctor, is a qualified medical practitioner who is either engaged in postgraduate training or employed in a non-training post.

As per the article you linked, Iran had prior to that fired at Cyprus, but not hit anything, but looks like you're right that none of the missiles/drones actually made it to land until after the position changed, fair enough.

But prior to that Iran had already hit:

  • Saudi (28th of Feb)
  • UAE (1st march, so same day as the position changed but it says its early in the morning so I assume before)
  • Bahrain (multiple attacks starting 28th feb)
  • Qatar (starting 28th of feb)

and others.

Ok bud, you definitely sound like a sane person worth discussing with.

Moscow is in Europe, as is Petersburg, as are something like 80% of the population. So if you want to be like that and say a country has to be entirely in one continent then Russia is in Europe.

An interesting articles discusssing the people behind Labour's relentless concessions to the right. I think the gender aspect feels forced and unconvincing but the rest of it is an interesting read.
