      Failed?

      They sent just enough to get through the defense systems to make their point.

      Not only did they show that they can hit Israel if they want, they can do it with precision, and while warning everyone ahead of time that it was coming.

      All of that on top of the intelligence they got on 5 different countries militaries and their response times and scenarios.

      FFS they underhanded a wiffleball, that Israel still almost whiffed, and now Israel is pretending they knocked it to the fences when they lucked into a bunt that went foul.

      The attack succeeded, it cost 50% more to defend from. Iran could do these weekly to exhaust israel, you only have so many missiles while drones are cheap and easy.

        It cost a lot more than 50% to defend. Israel says it spent a billion. Israel says the US spent a billion (Though it was likely more, as it is becoming apparent that the US shot down most of the missiles successfully intercepted.)

        Iran spent 35 million.

        They spent 5700% more then Iran.

        Putin would like to point out that it would not exhaust Israel as much as it would exhaust the U.S. We are Israel’s primary defense. Which is why it’s fucking outrageous that we allow them to start wars.

      It succeeded. The only way to view it as a failure is if you aren’t paying attention.
