One outcome of recent wars - conventional BMs are useless in a war

[A_Gupta]

These are in similar category of our VSHORADS missiles. But when we place order it's going to be 100 launchers and 200 missiles. And our DM Rajnath Singh goes and gives a speech.. to speed up development, but nothing gets inducted.

As far as I can find out, the Indian MoD issued an RFP for VSHORADS in 2010, for around 800 launchers and 5000+ missiles; and yes, after interminable trials, the Igla-S was selected for emergency procurement. I suppose the decision was to wait for DRDO's product. The small order placed so far is also under emergency procurement. It is expected that India will go in for the same scale or larger than it planned for in 2010.

[uddu]

All procurement including VSHORADS for 2000 crore. So will be very small number of VSHORADS.

Narendra Modi on Twitter:

Spoke with President Dr. Masoud Pezeshkian and conveyed Eid and Nowruz greetings. We expressed hope that this festive season brings peace, stability and prosperity to West Asia.

Condemned attacks on critical infrastructure in the region, which threaten regional stability and disrupt global supply chains.

Reiterated the importance of safeguarding freedom of navigation and ensuring that shipping lanes remain open and secure.

Appreciated Iran’s continued support for the safety and security of Indian nationals in Iran.

[Amber G.]

Late Iran Supreme leader Ali Khamenei had "issued both administrative & religious directives prohibiting any move toward" development of nuclear weapons, Iran Prez Pezeshkian tells PM Modi

[A_Gupta]

^^^ yes, as mentioned, it is an emergency procurement of VSHORADS. The main contract is said to be imminent.

[KL Dubey]

The situation as I see it right now:

- Iran sarkar (goremint, "mosaic" military, and mullah regime) seem functional with new people taking over

- the top layer of Iran guys from last month have nearly all perished. Only the Prez Pezishkian (sounds uncomfortably close to "pechish-kiya") survives ?

- USA and Israel have bombed a lot of Iran but running out of new meaningful targets. Diminishing returns setting in?

- Iran seems to have plenty of missiles left. Some tunnel entrances claimed to be collapsed but the stuff is still in there to be pulled out when needed?

- Russia and China seem to be helping Iran considerably.

- Other western countries not interested.

- GCC arabs in bad shape, oil infra blown up, US bases destroyed and not operational (is this confirmed?). Possibly seeing nightmares of going back to camel breeding/date farming...the sands eventually burying the oil fields.

- Israel also seems in bad shape ? Tel Aviv seems battered, recently Jerusalem ("holy city" areas included) was hit by Iran I think.

- Trump sarkar claimed war is won, no need for allies ---> wait, we need allies to open the Strait ----> well, if nobody is interested then we still don't need any allies, all useless fellows ----> Sending boots on ground ---> Plan deferred/slowed down ----> next ???

- Folks like retd karnail MacGregor (Trump protege till recently), prof Mearsheimer (also military background), and one Scott Ritter (former nukular inspector sahib?) all keep saying "Iran is winning since it is still surviving and make things unmanageable for others both militarily and oil supplies through the hormuz and possibly red sea routes". These people seem to have gained a lot of following during the Ukraine war for "correct/realistic" predictions. What do BRF "experts" think ?

A different angle from Bharat perspective: mullah-rabbi-padre conflicts playing out in west asia. Which, BTW, is where all of abrahamism started (and seems like could end there).

- In my opinion padre is too far away geographically from continental Asia to be directly able to wrest control of Iran (~100 mn population), at the most they could dent Iran by air and sea strikes till munitions run out.

- While we have used rabbi as a partner, they are too small (~7 million) and too dependent on padre and desalination plants. Effectively, rabbi is/was padre's main strike package in west asia but they seem to be nearing exhaustion too.

- at the same time, rabbi has used intelligence agencies to apparently make padre acquiesce to their goals...i can't help but think Apestein was a part of that same blackmail/intelligence network

- mullahs on both sides (across the strait and across shia/sunni divide) are getting hammered one way or the other. Iran people have mostly lost faith in abrahamism, and GCC arabs care more about their lavish lifestyles and having foreign hired guns to run their countries.

- For Bharat, other than the fuel disruptions, this seems another lucky break in accelerating return of Bharat because mullah-padre-rabbi are busy trying to destroy each other.

- How best should Bharat play this ? I'd say: Double down on indigenous clean energy. "Support" all three combatants to the point of exhaustion, since none of them is strong enough to force us to "choose a side" other than our own side. Make the combatants more dependent on us (food, security, meds etc). Recall Indian expats from GCC and integrate them in Bharat economy (will have much higher impact than getting remittances). Ditch petrodollar, strengthen BRICS (Bharat is the chair this year). Anything else ?

1. Sirji, time for us to launch our own Len-Lease program equivalent. Sell them food, water, and whatever they need on credit backed by their SWF's
2. Keep our expatriate population there as long as they voluntarily stay there. We can sure do with the foreign remittances
3. Cut deals with GCC monarchies for future bases and restriction of Paki and Turkish influence. In fact, I am happy of the fallout between QA and Iran
4. Support Israel in return for access to technology. Offer them the chance to build fresh factories for their stuff in India. They have money, technology, offer them safe haven. Get them to build GCC's here for Elbit, IAI, et al.
5. Wait for post war construction contracts for our players like L&T et al.
6. Play the forex and equity markets with NIIF money to see if we can pick up good deals on firms like Aramco, et al.

Mossad Is Now Targeting Iran’s Enforcers

[uddu]

US video said to show strikes on Iranian drones

What been seen in Iran is that, once the Air Superiority is achieved, there is a need to target a large number of ground targets including missiles and drones on the ground. The U.S is bombing them with heavy bombs. We do have a solution in ULPGM integrating the same on Tejas and Prachand. Specific launchers can be designed to make them carry so many multiple ULPGM on each pylon. Will be a bomb truck itself. This will allow hit and destroy targets on the ground with much cheaper options and large number of them can be carried in one sortie destroying many more targets than the usual lot of expensive bombs. Scalpel instead of a Hammer.

[uddu]

Meanwhile our SOV400 is yet not ordered.
https://www.navalnews.com/naval-news/20 ... her-steam/
L&T had started the design process in 2017 for a midget submarine based on Indian Navy requirements for special operations. The design known as SOV400 is currently on offer to the Navy. Capable of carrying eight commandos, the SOV400 has a displacement of nearly 500 tons. The 45 meter long submarine has a crew of 12 and is propelled by an electric motor. The submarine has two 533mm torpedo tubes. The Navy has a requirement for two midget submarines but the project has seen little progress. The SOV400 design continues to evolve, with defence news channel Chakra, which interviewed the senior L&T official mentioned previously, recently showing a design which has several differences compared to previous exhibits.

The Iranian Submarine Nobody Can Find
The war in West Asia is no longer just about airstrikes and missiles. Beneath the surface, a silent game is unfolding. Iran’s submarine fleet, ageing, limited, but elusive, has gone quiet.

Satellite images from Bandar Abbas show one submarine destroyed, another possibly hidden, and one completely unaccounted for. In the shallow waters of the Strait of Hormuz, even a single unseen submarine can disrupt global oil flows and challenge the world’s most powerful navies. Is this absence a weakness or a calculated threat waiting to strike?

The US War Plan for Strait of Hormuz
Chakra 24 Mar, 2026

Is the United States preparing for a direct showdown in the Persian Gulf? As the USS Tripoli and a Marine Expeditionary Unit move closer to the Strait of Hormuz, questions are mounting. Is this a show of force or the early stages of a plan to break Iran’s blockade? From island seizures to forward bases, what are the real options on the table? And how dangerous could this get in one of the world’s most critical energy chokepoints? This video breaks down the strategy, the risks, and the possibilities.

[Hriday]

I see a lot of analysts saying that Iran war is an unnecessary war and a failure.

I describe my thoughts in two sections.

1.
Necessity of the war.

My understanding is that this war is essential for a safe world. It is better late than never as Iran had openly declared its terrorist mentality. Many times it had called for the wiping out the population of the USA and Israel. And openly sided with the Islamic extremism in India and criticised Modi govt's decision to oppose it.

If ever Iran had acquired credible nuclear threat and if it succeeded to wipe out Israel then who will be it's next target? Most likely it will be India and not the USA. Because Israel is the most convenient target as a non Muslim country. Moving against India will get the covert support from USA, Europe, Islamic countries and China exactly like the case of Pakistan. Moving against any Christian country will invite too powerful counter response.

Present opposition to USA is solely on it being the guardian of Israel. Atleast USA is Christian majority which are part of Abrahamic religions including Islam.

Present half hearted relationship with India is solely because Iran with its limited military power is primarily and emotionally focused on the destruction of Israel.

2.
Present war is a failure and need to stop?

Just like Israel almost effectively destroyed a major threat from Gaza, this Iran war should have done with proper preparations. Instead the West wasted their resources on Ukraine war.

Now that Iranian capability to produce missiles had been heavily degraded, I think a temporary pause for 1 year or complete withdrawal from Ukraine war to conserve resources to continue the war is needed for the safety of the world.

If the present war continues and as Israel and USA is progressively destroying Iranian industrial capabilities, Iranian people will realise that West is not going to abandon them and will be more amenable to co operate in anti-regime movement or sabotage.

Iran War Day 27: Boots on Ground? Risks, Options & The Way Forward
26 march, 2026

As the Iran war enters Day 27, the biggest question is whether any “boots on the ground” option can realistically deliver results, or whether it would deepen the crisis instead. Fresh reporting on March 25–26 indicates that Iran has rejected the U.S.-backed ceasefire framework, is insisting on its own terms, and remains resistant to direct negotiations, while broader diplomatic pressure is mounting from China and regional intermediaries.

At the same time, the military, political, and economic costs of escalation are rising. Gulf states are signaling concern over both a premature settlement and a prolonged conflict, global markets have turned risk-off, and oil has surged above $105 amid fears of deeper disruption around Hormuz.



// i have been hearing that the A-10 warthog have been pressed in to fire upon drones, etc and also take out any iranian naval assets. B-52 bombers are having a field day. 31st marine expeditionary force is on the way. Boxer amphibious group is on way and the famed 82nd airbourne is on the way. April time frame is expectation of any action.

If the present war continues and as Israel and USA is progressively destroying Iranian industrial capabilities, Iranian people will realize that West is not going to abandon them and will be more amenable to co operate in anti-regime movement or sabotage.

My 2 Paise

China got a huge competitive advantage through cheap Iranian resources, based on cheap Iran resources it was able to further negotiate with Other Middle Eastern players and Africa.

The missiles you are seeing is nothing but the PLA Rocket force in action- all their Liquid fueled missiles, TEL's were all moved to Iran, it is Chinese satellites which give the Targeting data, the Houthis were part of round 1. Now their limited but later gen missiles being used.

Both sides have to fight till the end, Chinese manufacturing will loose a lot of cheap inputs if America gets to dictate the post war format. lets see how this plays out.

Another secondary target for Trump and Israel is the funding of Hamas, global left from Qatar which has been playing both sides, now that Qatar which has unilaterally walked out "Force Majure", in 2014 Qatar supplied 86% of India LNG imports, now 47%, alternative sources like Mozambibque are opening up- where rebels were bribed to stop Indian imports. Qatar also needs Indian food and Indian engineers for post war repairs.

I can see CIA- State department has grown so strong globally that there are now clear factions within it, The EU also benefitted from the Leftist Qatar Iran China Alliance which wanted a Broken up Russia and controlling global resources.

from the Israeli prospective, Qatar using Egpt and cheap BM 21 rockets was a nasty surprise on 7 Oct 23, but Hezbollah and Houthis joining in on 8 Oct 23 was an even nastier surprise, if Iran had a Nuke somehow 5 Nukes hitting Israel would be a disaster. They are trying to get rid of the threat permanently.

Now I understand why Israel/ USA first took out the Houthi capabilities before moving in on Iran, the war in Jun was more the access each side capabilities and move in for this.

The stakes are really high, who wins gets to control the whole Middle East Resources- (PRC-Left or Trump/ Israel).

[A_Gupta]

The Atlantic Council opines:
From drones to rocket fuel, China and Russia are helping Iran through supply chains
https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/dispatc ... ly-chains/

BOTTOM LINES UP FRONT

China, Russia, and Iran have developed an “Axis of Evasion” that includes integrated supply chains to circumvent Western sanctions.

Through these supply chains of dual-use technology, Iran is able to develop drones, navigation systems, and other military capabilities.

The US should press China on its support of these supply chains, and it should take additional steps to disrupt transshipment hubs and other intermediaries.

[Aditya_V]

I think this as much about neutering Qatar( and US- EU leftist Orgs) as much as Neutering Iran and China, Kuwait, Bahrain, UAE and possibly Saudi are fully committed to opening the Strait of Hormuz, US can keep bombing Chinese Shipping claiming it is from Iran.

Iran Takes Kashmir Aid, Deletes 'Thank You India' Post | Pakistanis Harrass Iranian Ambassy On 'X'
In a stunning act of diplomatic double standards, Iran's embassy in India deleted its own posts thanking India and the people of Jammu and Kashmir an integral part of India for sending humanitarian aid during the Iran war.

The donations, which included gold, jewellery, cash and copper utensils, poured in from across the Kashmir valley in an emotional show of solidarity. The Iranian embassy initially expressed warm gratitude, even highlighting the story of a widow who donated gold she had kept for 28 years. But within hours, Pakistan-based social media accounts flooded the posts demanding Iran retract any wording that acknowledged Kashmir as part of India. The embassy buckled quietly deleting the posts and reposting content that stripped out all references to India.

The episode has sparked massive outrage across India, with citizens and commentators calling out the hypocrisy of accepting Indian aid while surrendering to Pakistani pressure on India's sovereignty. Jammu and Kashmir is constitutionally, legally and politically an integral part of India and no amount of online noise changes that.

Have always asked readers to read World Wars very deeply.

You can match every event that happened then to now & understand what's happening & how the same script is being re-used.

Outcomes will be same too therefore -

Post WW-II (1953-54), UK & US did regime change operation in Iran & secured oil contracts for their companies. The same thing is now happening under US & Russia consensus.

Iran will therefore see regime change as predicted & US companies will get the oil deals whose revenue will be used to spread Christianity, fund conversions.

Post WW-II (1956), UK & Israel planned operation to regain control of Suez Canal in the region. Even though UK had the upper hand, it was forced to exit.

It failed in the operation & had to vacate the military bases in the region & eventually, from other regions as well, following the fall of the UK reserve currency status.

This marked the end of Britain as the global hegemony.

Now US & Israel both have entered the fray against Iran. The clergy regime is bombing US military bases in the region & President Trump expressing lack of intent in re-opening the Straits of Hormuz, has passed the buck to the allies.

It's so evident how the same script is being re-used. Therefore the eventual outcomes of this conflict aren't hard to predict.

US will abandon these military bases under the pretext that how futile it is to spend money on rebuilding or protecting them on foreign soil forever. Israel's invitation to relocate some of these bases to the country is to achieve Greater Israel.

UK failed in retaining Suez control. US too will fail at retaining control of Straits of Hormuz & fall of US reserve currency status will mark the end of US global dominance just like it happened to UK back then.

Iran War Day 32: Who has the upper hand?
PGurus and Lt. Gen P R Shankar on April 1, 2026

After the bombardment by US and Israel there has been nothing from IRAN in terms of missiles and drones. Everything quietened down. The Isfahan bombing took out most things including their missile launchers.

The U.S. and Israeli perspective, they hold the upper hand. President Trump claims the campaign is "way ahead of schedule," asserting that Iran’s navy and air force have been "obliterated" and the regime is "decisively defeated." Prime Minister Netanyahu supports this, stating operations are "beyond the halfway point," with a current focus on securing or destroying Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile using high-precision bunker-busters.

Traffic in hormuz is picking up. DJT had one goal - no nukes for Iran, not necessarily regime change. JCPOA was a sham, since Iran continued with enrichment of uranium.



// one thing the Iran war has revealed: no unity in the ummah clans. UAE is now openly saying it will help police the hormuz with the US. Saudi A wants Ukraine's drone help to protect itself!
