According to Ali Shamkhani, secretary of the Supreme National Security Council (SNSC), no hit man was involved in the assassination, adding that the distinguished figure was killed in a complicated operation that involved electronic equipment without any assassin at the scene.
This assassination in enemy country shows a tremendous technological advance, with the probable use of a self-driving car and a remote operated machine gun. And intelligence when the target can be hit on that road, and identification of the prospective martyr among the dozen body guards around. This operation demonstrates how much Israel has advanced since killing that Hamas chieftain in Gaza two years ago. In Gaza a tender full of toys was used to penetrate enemy territory with armed personnel on board. The ruse was discovered and the Israelis had to be evacuated with another vehicle - under fire. The Fakhrizadeh operation was better planned and executed. Probably it cost less than 200,000 US$. It means that no enemy is safe anywhere. The robot pictured is real and works for the Dallas Police, and already has killed human evildoers.

ReplyDeleteProbably bullshit tbh. The regime in tehran just wants to cover their asses, after whole world seeing how embarrassingly easy it is to operate an armed brigade on the outskirts of tehran and smuggle weapons, without their security and counterintelligence having even an inkling of what is happening. There's a lot of gangsters in Kurdistan and Balochistan, and they could have been payed indirectly by a middle-man.
ReplyDeleteThis also being an internal matter in the state is also a probability. There's probably enough dissidents and dissatisfied persons to carry out assassinations like this, but judging by size of soleimani's funeral in January (there were a million mourners) I think not enough to raise an armed insurrection.
The main takeaway from this incident is that IRGC does not have competent counterintelligence. Robocop not required.
