Most facilities are deep underground, hard to reach for most bombs except those carried by big bombers that are expensive to operate and a logistical nightmare in contested airspace, which Iran is at the moment.

The shaheds are also tiny, cheap and are built mostly from readily available components. As we’ve seen in Ukraine there are literally hundreds of designs, some made literally with cardboard, with new iterations seemingly every day.

Traditional air defense systems can be very easily overwhelmed by sheer number of incoming drones. Combine those with ballistic weapons and the mix is pretty much unstoppable with current means.

When it comes to countering shaheds, Ukraine is years ahead of pretty much everyone right now.

Iran has been mass producing them for years too, they can make hundreds a month and they could make hundreds more in a sustained war situation.

The US has very few options besides pulling outta there quickly that will allow them to call it a victory.

If Russia decides to play ball and feed intel to Iran then those salvos and shahed swarms are gonna start landing on aircraft carriers like flies on a turd.

I’ve been happily sitting on my R5 2600x for so many years now lol. My MB is an MSI B450 Pro Carbon and it can easily handle a 5950x or 5800x3D or whatever.

Add another 2x8 gb ddr4 for 32GB total and I’ll be seeing some insane performance relative to what I’m already happy with, which will last me another 5 years easily unless the mobo dies.

It’s really insane how well designed AM4 is.

Ah, AM4.

At 10 years old, it’s still the platform that keeps on giving.

Definitely. I’d also check to buy used if the price is right.

If you’re into fun technology stuff, a raspberry pi can be a million different things for you.
