IRAN WAR: You can't lose, if you don't have a goal

Wow. This is how the Empire ends... Not with a bang, but an ammo shortage.
“The U.S. is planning for a wider war,” said one U.S. official familiar with internal administration discussions, adding that the Pentagon was increasing the number of military aircraft in the region.

But the official, speaking on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media, cautioned that the expansion of U.S. operations will be limited by dwindling stockpiles of air defense and long-range munitions and constraints on the ability to surge more troops and aircraft into the area because of battle damage.

"We do not have enough to safely sustain operations, and I don’t think the White House is aware of that,” the official said.
Military experts have said that in addition to the toll taken on U.S. equipment and munitions stocks, the U.S. is unprepared for possible ground operations inside Iran that Trump last week refused to rule out.

“I think it would be a mistake to put ground forces anywhere in islands in the strait or onshore,” said Seth Jones, who heads the defense and security department at the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies. “I don’t think U.S. forces are prepared for standoff strikes from Iranians.”

Weren't you the one who posted that agitators getting in the way of ICE deserve to die or know they risk dying after the shooting of Renee Nicole Good by ICE goons?

Is Iran's concrete unbreakable? Scientists believe even 'mother of all bombs' cannot shatter it

Irans nuke program hit? Scientists say Iran has some ultra-tough concrete made using advanced technology, which could have saved its underground nuclear sites.

UHPC is a type of concrete that is way more advanced than regular concrete. Earlier, concrete rated as "high strength" had a yield of 5,000 pounds per square inch (psi). There were some that went up to 10,000 psi. But UHPC can withstand 40,000 psi or more. This is because in this technology, concrete is turned into a composite material by adding steel or other fibres.

An open-source Chinese study compared normal high-strength concrete with fibre-reinforced UHPC. It noted that projectiles smashed through the reinforced concrete targets, but the UHPC targets only had minor cracking. The bombs “either embedded in or rebounded from” the targets.

The United States Air Force had also launched a project to study bunkers made of UHPC. It was reportedly feared that even the 5,000-pound bombs would not get through UHPC. Then it got the 21,000-pound Massive Ordnance Air Blast, "mother of all bombs".

Experts say that even the biggest and toughest bomb could not get through UHPC. Gregory Vartanov of Toronto-based Advanced Materials Development Corp claims that current bombs cannot break down the high-grade UHPC. "Penetrators with monolithic cases made from materials such as … Eglin Steel … cannot penetrate bunkers made from UHPC,” he wrote in Aerospace & Defense Technology magazine in February 2021.
