Inexpensive fiber-optic drones are challenging Israel’s high-tech defenses, shifting the military balance in the Middle East.
A recent video showing an explosive-laden drone striking an Israeli Iron Dome battery couldn’t have been more symbolic: Israel’s famous air-defense system, which cost billions of euros, looked powerless against a small aircraft that cost a few hundred euros.
While the video’s authenticity has not yet been verified, experts believe it is genuine.
The footage was published about a week ago by Hezbollah, a Lebanon-based pro-Iranian militia, which Germany, the US and several Sunni Arab states have classified as a terrorist organization.
The drone strike, if genuine, would mark propaganda victory for Hezbollah and reveal a significant vulnerability in Israel’s military capabilities.
2.6 million russian kia, more wounded - Russian economists in russian economic forums in public made a claim of 600k dead russians per year of war
That’s exaggerated. While real numbers are not known, Ukraine reports around 1,000 casualties per day but only around third or less of that are dead, others are injured.
Recently dead has been 2:1 over injured.
Ukrainians have counted around 1.4 mill - but Ukrainians don’t have precise numbers on the russians killed by their own commanders for refusing to fight or not paying enough money to their commanders. The 2.4 mill number comes from russian economists in public russian economic forums this year.
Any other sources than economist?
it is that, + Palestinians + Israelies + Iranians + Lebanense + Others
There havent been many deaths in those conflicts(comparatively). I think it only adds an extra 85k
But you can add the Africa conflicts in and Yemen and that boosts it up quite significantly.
Putting aside (unintentionally?) calling the Palestinian genocide a “conflict”, the last reliable death count for Gaza alone was already 186k two years ago and the rate of extermination has only INCREASED since then.
85k for Gaza, West Bank, Israel, Iran, Lebanon, and other countries in the region combined is a RIDICULOUS undercount.
What are you on about. You can’t say the last reliable death count and then link that article which is speculation. The last reliable death count is around what I said which is 72k maybe 80k if you want to include non violent deaths. Also the rate of extermination has NOT increased since 2024 what on earth would make you think that.
Also the count for Iran and Lebanon is accurate.
No that’s just russians. No other nationality in that count.
I mean, if we count this as a world war, we should add up all deaths
We should but I don’t have those numbers. I only have numbers for russians.
