It’s obvious. They are running out of missiles. This was bound to happen and it’s why Israel targeted missile production sites and storage facilities.
Without strong air defense and Air Force, simply relying on ballistic missiles are foolhardy.
If missile sites have been taken out in such large numbers already then wouldn't the fighter jets be taken out even more easily?? The fighter jets are much more expensive. First thing needed was a strong air defense system to protect either the missiles or the jets. But apparently, Iran's deterrence were the proxies hugging Israel and crushing blows using missiles. But problem with using missiles is: Iranian missiles have to travel a long distance through a guantlet of air defense system of NATO to reach Israel. The luxury afforded to the Israelis is that they fly unchallenged to Iran, get refueling by the Americans/Israelis over the former nations of Iraq and Syria to bomb Iran from a close distance.
It is a dire situation for Iran unless they really have a large stockpile of missiles.
But if Iranians had seen what was coming to them 6-7 months ago when both the Assad regime and the Hezbollah front folded then should have found a way to use their large manpower to replace the lost proxies even if marching them to Israel. Also they should have anticipated that their internal security was seriously compromised when a state guest like Ismail Haniyeh was assassinated in the heart of Tehran.
