“His team is in constant communication with Israeli officials as well as other partners and allies,” she says.

Seems like it. The initial drone Swarm seems to have been to use up Israeli munitions so that the BMs have an easier time getting through.

It's smart, and only ever talked about on paper. We're seeing it's real world application now. Let's see how it works out, if it works out.

For days the US has been saying an attack is imminent, I think they would have calculated for the worst case scenario so the whole region will be littered with ABMs. This saturated attack could literally change the doctrine of BM and swarming attacks depending on its success. Obviously big plus the apartheid state has its being helped by multiple countries.

Does this suggest that Iran let Israel know before hand? If so, would it be an attempt to down play the attack before it happens?

There are significant implications to this.

Israeli military is tracking approach of more than 100 drones, official says​

From Lauren Izso and Jeremy Diamond

An Israeli military official told a briefing Saturday night that more than 100 drones had been launched towards Israel from Iran.

Their approach towards Israel is being tracked and all necessary steps were being taken to defend the country, the official added.

The official said Israel was watching other “apparatus” that Iran potentially could be launching as well.

“We are following the other launch capabilities that Iran has at this at this time. I can't confirm anything positive regarding other munitions beyond the drone, explosive drones that Iran has launched at us," the official said.

The official added that the drones were expected to arrive in the following hours. And more waves of drones were possible as time progresses, the official added.

In preparation for what may come, Israel had conducted some GPS scrambling, as well as close Israeli airspace, the official said.

“We have a very strong defensive posture in order to address anything flying towards Israel," the official added.
