Per media reports, the cost of the operation was over $300 million by conservative estimates and the "reported" damage to the amrikis was 2X C-130 transports, 2X blackhawk helos, 1X A-10, and the many tens of fighters providing serious air cover, backed by aerial tankers, satellite assets...

Lisa ji, the story is simply too slick to believe and doesn't sit right The real target could have been the eyeraanian nuclear stockpile why use the C-130 when helos alone would have been far more efficient, and why complicate the matter by using the A-10 The IRGC are MANPADS afficionados and conno...

Two little birds were also scuttled.WOW, just wow. The amount of gear that US brought to bear on this operation is astounding. Even more impressed by the willingness to take equipment losses.

<snip> Nonsense. If a Nav cluster cannot provide Nav info, then it is useless for the job.

You are missing the point of my comment. In a war, these nav satellites are going to be targeted and degraded. What is our plan? Just operate without them or launch replacements? If the first, then fine. If the second, we will have to launch from Agni series and the sats launched should be effectiv...

LPG to Natural Gas conversion kits are cheap and readily accessible. Heck, gasoline to CNG kits are also easily available. As far as meters, do they need physical access? Or proximity to read from their rfid reader?
