OK. In any case I think we can agree that's a very large amount of drones and missiles for one attack. When I read about a big Russian attack against Ukraine they usually number a few dozens dronez/missiles. It's also huge compared to Iran's attack against Saudi's Aramco:
"A spokesman for the Saudi-led coalition fighting Iranian-backed rebels in Yemen, stated that 25 drones and missiles were used"
So I don't know what the end game was/is for Iran, did they really want to start a war or what. They certainly used enough missiles and drones to kill hundreds of people and cause huge damage, but everything was intercepted to such perfection I am starting to suspect Iran was trying not to hit anything. Either that or the Israeli + coalition (U.S, Britain, and the moderate Arab forces) have truly stunning defenses.
Yeah, i agree. Whatever the number it was definitely higher than it should be (or at least what we thought is needed).
But there are so many variables I prefer to just look at the actual outcome. Some
Minor damage to an airfield and one injury. That could be due to an amazing air defense. Or it could be due to Iran broadcasting how, where, and when these attacks would come in back channels. I don’t think we’d ever know the exact reasons because both actors have an incentive not to divulge: Iran to make people think they calibrated this right, Israel to make it look like they have an impressive defense.
The only way this gets worse is by Israel escalating (which seems to be the only conclusion everyone agrees with).
