IIRC, and it's been a while since I last read it, Red Storm Rising's WWIII started after a terrorist attack on a Soviet Oil Refinery.

Looking at the site itself, combined with pictures of the damage, it looks like the attack which hit the four tanks (pictures in article), came from the west.
Definitely concerning. |

Oh of course. I simply meant that the holes in the tanks appear to be on the western side, not that the drones came in from the west or anything. I would note that the oil fields that were also attacked were southwest of the refinery, but that's what, 150km away? Without more information on the drones used, who knows where they were likely being operated from (or if they were in fact drones at all, has that even been confirmed yet?).
In any case, it's concerning because it seems the cold war between the Kingdom and Iran is heating up. To clarify, I'm not saying that Iran caused the attack, but despite denying it they are strongly suspected to support the Houthis, and Iran and the Kingdom have long been known to take proxy action against one another. |

Pompeo is saying its an Iranian attack and an act of war. So looks like we may get to see some nice F-14 versus F-15 dogfights over the Gulf soon and finally get to settle who is the better dogfighter

An F-15 has never been lost in air to air combat. Unfortunately the Tomcat can't say the same.

Why not some F-22s hunting F-14s.

But in that attack there was nothing left of the oil refinery while the Saudi oil refinery is still partly functional.
