[23:35]	IsambardPrince	I opened it up and it connected to the server last night.
[23:35]	IsambardPrince	But then no rooms.
[23:35]	IsambardPrince	When I tried to enter the rooms it wouldn't join.
[23:35]	IsambardPrince	Then I asked it to list the rooms and there were no rooms.
[23:35]	MinceR	did it give you any error messages?
[23:35]	IsambardPrince	No.
[23:36]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, I read something interesting this morning.
[23:36]	MinceR	if a channel doesn't exist and you try to join it, it's supposed to be created
[23:36]	IsambardPrince	Israel claims it bombed all of Iran's F-14 Tomcats and they're all destroyed.
[23:37]	IsambardPrince	Then a former American F-14 pilot who retired with the rank of Commander in the Navy, stated that he has looked at all these F-14s on satellite images over the years and the ones Israel bombed haven't moved in 5-6 years.
[23:37]	IsambardPrince	He stated that they were all wooden decoys.
[23:37]	MinceR	i guess israel is taking a page from cheeto hitler's book
[23:37]	IsambardPrince	You don't just park an expensive fighter jet out in the open and not move it anywhere for 5-6 years.
[23:38]	IsambardPrince	Not a real one.
[23:38]	IsambardPrince	Especially when it's irreplaceable.
[23:38]	IsambardPrince	When the US still operated the F-14, there were many scandals where Americans were convicted of trying to send Iran replacement parts.
[23:39]	IsambardPrince	It disturbed the Pentagon so much that in 2006 when we stopped flying them, instead of sending them to be parked in Arizona where they wouldn't rust and just mothballing them in case of an emergency, they were all destroyed.
[23:39]	IsambardPrince	Because they didn't want people in our military to take parts off of them and sell them to Iran.
[23:40]	IsambardPrince	The F-14 isn't really a threat to the fighter jets that the US operates now.
[23:41]	IsambardPrince	But it was an incredibly capable fighter jet by the standards of most countries, even today.
[23:41]	IsambardPrince	A lot of them still rely heavily on Soviet fighter jets that are far less capable than the F-14 was.
[23:43]	IsambardPrince	Russia does have some good modern tank designs, but like everything else, they're having trouble producing them in numbers that matter.
[23:43]	IsambardPrince	The US hasn't lost any aircraft to enemy fire so far in Iran, but we've lost three F-15s to Kuwaiti air defenses in a friendly fire incident.
[23:43]	IsambardPrince	And a KC-135 refueling aircraft crashed due to pilot error.
[23:44]	IsambardPrince	I read that we lost ten MQ-9 Reaper drones. Those are very expensive drones, but unmanned. And again, shot down by "friendly fire".
[23:45]	IsambardPrince	With Iran sending so many Shahed drones into the same area where we're operating, it's bound to happen that air defenses will shoot down some of ours by mistake.
[23:45]	IsambardPrince	I thought it was amusing that our Air Force and our allies are more of a danger to our pilots than Iran is.
