Israel did NOT shoot down any Iranian Radwan missiles
While Israel and its US sidekick did shoot down a lot of the Iranian missiles launched at them, none of those known as the Radwan were shot down. Why? Because hypersonic missiles can't be intercepted.
Here’s confirmation:

You can rest assured that Iran has saved a sizable number of Radwans for its next retaliatory strike. The BIG one, in case Israel strikes Iran.

"Radwan" missile: the most prominent presence in Operation Al-Waad Al-Sadiq [True Promise]
Unveiling of the Radwan ballistic missile in 2022
Many were surprised by pictures of Iranian missile bodies on the ground during Operation “True Promise,” presented by the Israeli occupation army, and published by some Israeli, foreign, and Arab media, or even some social media accounts, believing that this happened as a result of the interception operation. But in reality, these objects belong to the “Radwan” ballistic missile, which is characterized by a warhead separable from the body, which enables it to complete its path towards the target more quickly, with greater flexibility of movement, and a smaller radar image.
The warhead of this missile is also characterized by being of the separable type into three types of small explosive devices, which allows it to penetrate air defenses and hit targets of a large area (such as air bases, runways, etc.), and this is what struck the Nevatim and Ramon air bases.

What are the other most prominent and important specifications of the Radwan missile?
_ It is considered the longest-range missile in the “Qiam” [means “uprising” in Persian] family of missiles, which is considered one of the important innovations and designs of the “father of Iranian missiles,” the martyr Commander Hassan Tehrani Moghaddam. [Killed in an explosion, which some believe was organized by Mossad] The name may be in reference to the military title of the great martyr jihadi leader, Hajj Imad Mughniyeh, “Hajj Radwan,” after whom a ballistic missile was previously named: “Imad.”
_ It made its public debut in the summer of 2022, during the grand parade of the armed forces of the Islamic Republic on the occasion of Holy Defense Week, near the shrine of Imam Ruhollah Khomeini (may God be pleased with him).
_ It is a missile with a single stage of liquid fuel combustion. It enters the Earth’s atmosphere at a speed of 8 times the speed of sound (i.e. Mach 8), and its range reaches about 1,400 kilometers. It has the ability to hit the target with high accuracy, and its mission is to destroy enemy targets of great importance. [The speed of Mach 8 far exceeds the lower limit for hypersonic speed, which is Mach 5]
_ It was designed in a way that does not include fins for flight, making it less visible to radar.
_ Its guidance is controlled through what is known as Thrust Vector Change Control (TVC), which is the ability of the missile to manipulate the direction of thrust from its engine to control angle or speed.
_ Equipped with a detachable high-explosive warhead with a destruction radius of up to 100 metres. The missile can be launched from fixed locations and mobile platforms, with a preparation time not exceeding 20 minutes.
Another feature of the separable warhead is that some of them are used in decoys for anti-missile defense systems by launching these decoys in the final stage of their path. During Operation True Promise this was carried out in the best possible way, and in several cases interceptor missiles were seen passing close to the submunitions.
_Missile dimensions:
1) Length: about 12 meters.
2) Diameter: 0.88m.
_ Operation True Promise can be considered the missile’s first operational use, during which it succeeded in evading the most important missile interception systems in the world, whether those belonging to the occupying entity, the United States of America, or the rest of the Arab and Western countries.
_ Some media sources claim that there is a similar model of this missile in Yemen under the name “Zulfiqar.”

Here’s your daily air strike update for April 18, 2024
The Russian army is launching new attacks on Ukrainian military rear areas
Explosions are occurring in different oblasts. Shortly before our release, information came about powerful strikes in the Dnepropetrovsk oblast, and not the first of today. After the impact, a strong fire broke out, a plume of black smoke visible from afar. What exactly was affected is not reported, but it is known that there are many industrial enterprises in the city that work for the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Just like in Kharkov, where explosions are also heard today.
In addition, explosions occurred in the Kyiv oblast, and strikes were reported in Vyshgorod, where the Kiev hydroelectric power station is located. However, what exactly was the target of the strikes is not reported.
Explosions and fire after our attack occurred in Ivano-Frankivsk. The authorities of the Khmelnytsky oblast also report strikes.
Footage from the front line from our Ministry of Defense: South Donetsk area. Su-34 front-line bombers destroyed an enemy stronghold. The strike was carried out with high-explosive aircraft bombs with a universal glide and correction module. This allows us to attack enemy positions without entering the detection zone of enemy air defenses. Having received confirmation from intelligence that the targets had been destroyed, the planes returned to the departure airfield.

Quote
Neither Townhall nor its loyal readers are unfamiliar with Big Tech's efforts to suppress, silence, or ban conservatives.
This is a LIE. Neoconservatism is the national religion of the US and it IS conservatism.
The main tenet of US conservatism is Zionism and over 95% of US politicians support Israel. So stop lying and stop letting the elites lie to you!
Almost all US politicians are conservative, in fact, ultraright wing. The slogan that America is the Exceptional Nation is the US equivalent of Deutschland über alles.
The only opposition in America are the so-called Leftists, and neither the Democrats nor the Republicans like them because they challenge the Neocon support of Israeli genocide. AOC and Bernie Sanders are prime examples of the Left. Both oppose US support for Israel.

Our thanks to JS:
Me: Fortunately, HR 883 is one of those senseless “sense of Congress” resolutions: H.Res.883 - Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the slogan, "from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" is antisemitic and its use must be condemned. There is no penalty for availing oneself of the First Amendment right of free speech. At least not yet. I wonder when they will condemn the use of the term “mass murder” as anti-Semitic.
The United States House of Representatives passed a resolution on Tuesday condemning the popular pro-Palestinian chant “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” as antisemitic. The motion passed by a vote of 377 to 44, and was the result of a bipartisan effort led by Democratic Reps.
https://www.congress.gov/118/bills/hres883/BILLS-118hres883ih.pdf
Today, Tuesday, April 16, 2024, U.S. Congressman Josh Gottheimer (NJ-5), Congressman Anthony D’Esposito (NY-4), and Congressman Jared Moskowitz (FL-23) led a bipartisan resolution that successfully passed the House. The resolution, H.R. 883, condemns the chant “From the River to the Sea, Palestine Will be Free” as antisemitic. The resolution passed the House by a vote of 377-44-1. [In other words, these NAZI swine want Palestine to remain slaves to the Neonazis in Tel Aviv]
“I’m proud to have led and passed this bipartisan legislation with my colleagues, Representatives D’Esposito and Moskowitz. Our resolution makes it clear that the slogan ‘from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free’ is antisemitic and calls for the total eradication of the Jewish, democratic state of Israel and the annihilation of the Jewish people,” [That is a BIG LIE! It is not racist at all to wish that the Israeli crime syndicate be disbanded and the Arabs receive their land back! So-called Israel is a RACIST apartheid state] said U.S. Congressman Josh Gottheimer (NJ-5). “As Members of Congress, we have a right — and a responsibility — to condemn disgusting, divisive, and dehumanizing chants. I will never stop fighting against prejudice and hate — in any form.”
According to new data released by the Anti-Defamation League or ADL, there were nearly 9,000 antisemitic incidents in the United States in 2023 — the highest number on record since the ADL started tracking antisemitism in 1979. This included 5,200 incidents following October 7th — more than all of 2022 — and 830 incidents in New Jersey, specifically. Prominent Jewish organizations, including the ADL and the American Jewish Committee, have condemned “From the River to the Sea” chants as antisemitic. [We do NOT need corrupt, mentally ill politicians to tell us what anti-Semitism is. Ordinary Americans who are disgusted with the genocide against Palestinians are NOT anti-Semitic. They are sane, honest and decent human beings. The genocide is supported morally and financially by Satanic Washington Neonazi Neocons of the kind who write this sick, perverted legislation]
One more thought:
FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA, PALESTINE WILL BE FREE!
FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA, PALESTINE WILL BE FREE!
FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA, PALESTINE WILL BE FREE!
NEVER STOP SAYING IT!!
FROM SEA TO SHINING SEA, AMERICA WILL BE NAZI FREE!]

Translation from German with my notes in bold and in [brackets]
Newsletter - In the Sahel against Russia
(Own report) – The search for options to expand German influence again in the Sahel against Russia, which is gaining strength there, is gaining momentum in Berlin. Last week, Chancellor Olaf Scholz confirmed that the federal government was looking for “opportunities” to “get involved” in Mali, Burkina Faso or Niger, i.e. to improve its position [The Sahel PEOPLE have spoken and want the Neo-Colonialist Europeans OUT]. Defense Minister Boris Pistorius had already expressed optimism in March that he would be able to maintain the German military presence in Niger - for example by training Nigerien soldiers. As things stand, this would only be possible in parallel with a significantly stronger Russian military presence: the first Russian military trainers recently arrived in Niger to instruct Nigerien soldiers in the use of Russian weapon systems. There are “very few compatible, politically relevant partners in the state, politics and society” in the Sahel, according to a current analysis by the Science and Politics Foundation (SWP). “The Europeans” do not have “levers to accelerate regime change”; But, for example, “further coups” are conceivable – combined with possible changes in foreign policy course.

What does NATO have to do with the Gaza genocide? Plenty!
https://newkontinent.org/what-does-nato-have-to-do-with-the-genocide-in-gaza/
The Christian Zionists and their End Times cult/fellow travelers are all worshipping Mammon against Jesus' teaching; secure in the belief that they are going to heaven by supporting Israeli genocide.
The usa uk french germans israhell zionists leaderships have never been honest and always lied. This is the way they have swayed the narrative to their false statements and never forget that the MSM were complicit in this. Because the MSM is under the control of zionists and they pay the reporters to cover for their atrocious crimes.
