Fantastic performance from the Israelis
LOL! if this makes you happy, It's really amusing to see the frustration of pro-zionist lobby trying their level best to face saving exercise from this utter humiliation.
Never seen a more pathetic and scared response then this by any nation on earth. Honestly if Israel would have accepted that we are gutless and can't do anything then that would have been more graceful and maybe Israel would have left with some dignity but doing an attack with a quadcopter with ZERO impact has to be the lamest response ever. It's obvious that Israelis can't afford escalation with Iran.
If you want to learn a thing or two that how things stand between Israel vs Iran, read below. It will tell you that why Israel is scared to death from Iran and how Iran has set the game of the rules, how Iran has made a new normal to thrash Israel with its bold strikes.
- Iran has its powerful allied militia next to Israeli border, the hezbullah, Israel do not have such leverage over the Iran. Infact whole of Iraq has become pro-Iran and it has got strategic depth inside Iraq.
- Iran can sustain long time war, it doesnot rely on certainty, doesn't rely on travel & trade much, its already under heaviest sanctions and is self sufficient in most things. Whereas Israelis have to literally shutdown their country, the trade, travel, people running down on bunkers and etc.
- Iran's capabilities are designed to fight war of attrition and deplete its adversaries, its infrastructure is built to absorb bombings - See Houthis followed Iranian model at much smaller scale, they faced bombings for 5 years and they came more stronger. The US/UK bomb them and the next day they are firing missiles all over the place. Iran is houthis x 1000. They have their assets hidden / in bunkers / under ground storages / they can absorb bombings
- Iran's even cheapest drones have ranges till Israel. Those drones can carry explosives too, so Israel have a compulsion to destroy them. There is no logistical possibility to keep shooting down 10K USD drone with a million dollar missile forever.
- While Iran has such drones, Iran also have advance BMs, they demonstrated that they can hit the most critical & defended place ( airbase) in Israel at its highest level of alertness with US / UK / France defending it.
- Israeli jets do not have enough combat range to carry out strikes in Iran. None of Israeli jets have ranges to carry out strikes deep in Iran (center or eastern sides). Also note down that they will have to fly over Iraq which do have Iranians assets likely with AD units in such scenarios. That eliminates the possibility of refueling or flying AWACS over Iraqi airspace.
- The size of the nation, its geography, its self sufficiency, all favors Iran. While Israel is literally facing Hezbullah (mini-Iran) at its border and exhausted army in Gaza. Houthis are far away but they are also causing significant economic losses by targeting any ship to or from Israel at most critical sea route on planet. The strait of hormuz is also now denied for Israeli ships.
