Ws sad waking up to this news.
Firstly, let us all applaud Iran for being (along with Yemen), literally the only Muslim country in the world to have the balls to stand up to Israel and all the dangers that entails.
Also condolences on the loss of innocent Iranian women and children. May their families eventually find peace.
To the military aspect, once cannot help but be impressed by the scope and depth of this strike.
If 200 plans took part with no US support (reportedly), then the majority of these planes would have been non-stealth F-15s and F-16s flying over most of Iran, also there seems to be not a single Israeli plane lost. This is incredible.
Firstly to get such a sizable fleet tom Iran undetected
Secondly such a massive air refuelling effort
Iranian air defence must have been completly destroyed
Very accurate targeting of senior Iranians in their homes (via SIGINT?)
Of course Israel would have been preparing for Iranian missile/drone response too, so unsure just how effective it will now be as US/ British, some Arab and Israeli air defences will now work in tandem
Iran should (and in all likelyhood has) plans to respond asymmetrically. If Israel can suddenly make Hez pagers blow up being undetected over a few years, I would not be surprised if Iran can do similar tricks.
