This is a very good point that many forget, even is BMs are destoyed so much damaged is still inflicted by interceptor remnnents and debris. So even though the missile may have "failed" to hit its target, destruction is still caused by every interception.

Also the effect this will have on Israel's high tech economy centred around Tel Aviv will be significant

Documentation from one of the scenes in Tel Aviv. The IDF suspects that Iran launched a cluster missile at the center

I wonder if Iranian missile cities in the West are inoperable like in 12 day war. But Iran still had impressive launching capability during that war.

Iran is firing from areas deeper in Iran this time.

All we need is for missile defense batteries to be targeted successfully for Tel Aviv to become vulnerable to appropriate retaliation

Us has total of 650+ tankers even if only half are currently in active service

Not certain where you got those figures from.

Lets not count the C-130 Tankers.

The only ones that matter are the KC-135 (Stratotanker) & the KC-46 (Pegasus).

KC-135 are just above 300, but most of them are in pretty bad shape. It ain't easy get parts for a Boeing 707. That thing should be in a Museum.

The KC-46 are way under 100, and the reason why the USAF isn't buying more is they are pushing Boeing to fix some issues with them.

So, yeah knocking down a few Tankers may not make an impact - but it would get Congress to start wondering why the American Taxpayers are losing Tankers & atleast 06 Servicemen pet a/c

Unsure how Iran is keeping this up to be honest. It seems incredible, they either have a lot of very well hidden launch sites and they seem to be able to be resupplied. Iran has of course had decades to prepare for this exact scenario.

So yeah, my guess is some of the missile cities/factories must still be running.

@IceCold

Iran hit the southern Nevatim airbase in True Promise 2 (October 2024)

Israelis claimed impacts were non critical

I'm not sure how you can disable them without ground troops

Would like to see if they can send several of the cluster missiles and have those bases peppered with shrapnel. Something like 400-500 submunitions landing on the base (5-6 missiles) might be the best way to take them out of service temporarily as they try to clean up the area. I don't know if you can disable the entire base for long with just missile barrages though, but possibly keep them out of service for a week or two and then repeat.

Yeah, I also guess they need to keep many stationed around the world for day to day ops, especially in Pacific.

Bro i never celebrate death but on this occasion i will make an exception. Please tell me its a truth

May I suggest calling it a "sense of great relief" rather than a celebration, if this news is true?

If so, then I can share this sentiment.

When Iran continues to attack Saudi interests in the region, on the pretext that those are US interests, Iran itself opens a path for retaliation. Iran is very lucky that the GCC has still not decided to go to war but if it does, the pounding that Iran will receive from all sides would mean Iran becoming another Afghanistan or Iraq.

You claim that Saudi bases are being used by the US to attack Iran, if that is the case then Iran would be justified in retaliating against those bases. However, Iran cannot justify attacking Saudi Financial interests, even those which are with US companies because at the end of the day it is Saudi money and economy at stake first. But again, no other source is reporting use of Middle East bases to launch attacks on Iran.

Even after all this, Iran enjoys massive support from countries like Pakistan, which is trying its best to NOT choose a side. And yet, at the cost of repetition, Iran must also respect the fact that Pakistan has a defence pact with Saudi Arabia which Pakistan will honour even if it means eventually going to war against Iran. This is, however, in Iranian hands. And Iran should be concerned, really concerned, because war with Pakistan could also potentially mean US boots on ground through Pakistan.

Finally, I would advise my Iranian friends, brothers and neighbours to weight things very carefully, there is only so much that others can take from you quietly. Think of the consequences of pushing the entire region into war, against yourself. How long can Pakistan resist the pressure from US to allow the use of Pakistan bases as a launch pad against Iran and how long can Pakistan resist Saudi pressure to go to war against Iran?

I doubt Iran cares much right now about Saudi financial interests or the remittance money and deferred oil payments Pakistan gets from the Saudis. In fact threatening and damaging those petro$$$ is it's most effective weapon.
