No. I’d thought there were more instances of Israeli tourists intentionally starting wildfires beyond the recent thing of a military aged male burning a roll of toilet paper in Patagonia, but I can’t find more examples. I’d also heard of Israeli investors trying to purchase the burnt land but that seems to be a modern riff off of the Andinia Plan which I learned about when trying to find other examples.
Starting wildfires seems to be their MO these days
Tanc a Lelek intensifies
There’s also 3 crew in the lower deck that eject downwards…
No problem glad it made sense!
The big fans you see at the front of jet engines are called compressor blades & they draw in the air. The compressor blade discs neck down progressively which, as you might’ve guessed from the name, compresses the density of the air to cram more oxygen in a given volume for the next stage, combustion. Fuel is burned here, the exhaust gases expand out the back through a series of turbine blades, which are spun by these gases to power the compressor at the front.
The heat from the nuclear reactor causes the compressed air to expand rather than burning fuel. The issue has been getting a reactor that is light enough to fly, yet still has sufficient radiation shielding to not (terribly) irradiate the engine’s airflow. The latter isn’t much a concern for a cruise missile flying over enemy territory, but if you want to recall the missile then you’ve got a reactor that’s going 900kmh without landing gear that you need to dispose of.

I think it’d be just their 46 silos of Jericho 3 land based ICBMs that would reach LA or other furthest cities. The entity loves telling insultingly bad lies, one of which is developing a missile with a 11,500km global reach when they only claim their regional neighbors are threats. Like they wouldn’t throw a nuclear tantrum when their apartheid collapses.
Besides gravity bombs, their airborne component is the golden horizon (bit telling of a name) ALBM which has ~2000km of range.
Their submarine component is pretty mid, relatively speaking; no SLBMs yet. The Dolphin 1 class is a slightly bigger German 212 class diesel electric sub with some 650mm torpedo tubes believed to be for an enlarged variant of the Delilah cruise missile. Dolphin 2 displaces 500 tonnes more due to an air independent propulsion system that gives 3-5 knots of stealthy cruising, which would take a while for a boat to get on station to launch those interceptable cruise missiles.
Iran actually has 1 or 2 airbases “underground”: the hangars & taxiways are situated inside mountain tunnels leading directly to a runway. There’s cool footage of their F-4s parked in them & discussion of how basing Su-35s in a couple such centrally located mountain bases would go a long way towards denying hostile overflights.
Normal targeting of an airfield usually involves hitting aircraft parking spots & the intersections between taxiways & runways–the runway itself is very easy to repair, to such an extent that munitions specifically designed to attack airfields usually also scatter mines so the enemy can’t simply drive a bulldozer up to the pothole you created & just fill it back in.
