even if all of this turns out to be a wet fart the fact that Iran made israel tremble and quake like a dog skared of lightning from the sky makes this increibly worth it and makes me have a giant loving poo poo grin on my face.

One time in m2tw I was sieging a fort and I bagged the king of France on my first trebuchet round so let’s see how this all pans out

I.e. the shahed-136s might not be the total package. If it is though, I can't imagine they will have a hard time defeating them...

even if they do a Ukraine and shoot 120% of the incoming drones down, they still have less of the limited ammo to shoot the next wave down

so lol, lmao

If they get enough drones together they could lift the captured ship and drop it onto Tel Aviv

Or they could just hit the knesset/high ranking offical's homes. That would be a powerful intimidation technique.

i don't think it's likely they 'don't give a gently caress' because they kind of have to at a societal level. Even if they didn't care about Palestinians, they have their own public to worry about. Whatever is making them dither like this is something more than just not feeling it. It's possible they think they're in a good place atm, supporting Yemenis and loving up the straight, and if they escalate they might lose control of the situation. None of this is great for the 2 million Palestinians getting murdered right now of course.

i mean lets be real, Iran does not have the capacity to just outright invade and save the Palestinians. so they have to weigh a bunch of options and try and thread a very small needle

I’m inclined to agree that if they can completely shut down Israeli society at a whim with a few million bucks worth of drones and seize ships at will they probably have the upper hand

i think this attack will be a spectacular failure on irans part or wet fart, they gave the israels so much advance notice and its pretty clear the americans and israelis are ready.

it will be like if japan gave america two weeks notice they were gonna attack pearl harbor

IDF: Iran launched drones towards Israel

IDF spokesman:

Iran has launched drones towards Israel and defenses ready to deal with them

The military and Air Force are ready to deal with Iranian threats expected to arrive within hours.

We are trying to prevent Iranian marches from reaching Israel.

We will deal with the Iranian marches as soon as they arrive, but we warn that the defense will not be 100%.

Services of G. B. S is not available in several locations and has been jammed in a focused and temporary form.

The military is defensively and offensively prepared at different levels and we are cooperating with the United States in that.

Reminder that irans response when their general in iraq was killed was "Toothless" in that at first the US claimed that no one was killed / injured. It was months after that they admitted that like 50 soldiers got TBI

lol this attack is so gonna fail. they'll all get shot down. israel has plenty of time to prepare. it would take a phenomenal level of incompetence or a disasterously depleted air defence for this to actually make it through israeli air defences.

I think the only way its going to work is if they're doing a saturation attack on a few targets, or timing the launch of missiles to arrive just as air defense is busy with the drones.

it's not actually easy or likely that they'll be able to shoot all of them down. AA defenses just aren't that perfect.
