Oh my... this didn't take long to look ridiculous...

I wouldn’t be surprised if several of them Crash in Iraq, Syria, and Jordan before even reaching Israel.

Let's say a few did not make the journey from Iran to Israel... enough of them did make it. Nobody can deny that.

The Mullahs and their cheap, high volume/low tech drones vs the expensive, low volume/high tech Iron Dome... how is that working out?

Reports that both US & UK fighter jets have shot down drones/missiles.

Also the Jordanian military has shot down drones/missiles.

Not sustainable. How long do you think you can scramble jets and fire off expensive missiles vs swarms of cheap/low tech drones?

Had he showed more energy and authorized more force against the Iranian proxies when they were shooting at our bases, War ships & cargo ships today likely never would have happened.

Not to mention releasing the money for Iran some which was used before they re-froze it under pressure.

Based on what Trump has said today and done in the past with Qassem Soleimani, I doubt things would be much different.

Iran has a crapload of those drones considering they export them to Russia. They are small though and I doubt their payload is very big..not that some unlucky individuals were unfortunate to be on receving end.

Here it is..I think…probably a 66lb warhead for that mission range.

The nose section contains a warhead estimated to weigh 30–50 kilograms (66–110 lb)

You know what might be good for countering slow, low-flying drones?

I forgot that I had two empty 5 gallon gas cans. Might need to fill them up while I can.

Every little bit helps...

I don't know, I'm not in the situation room. I do know the administration has done a reasonably good balancing act of the competing interests in its policy toward Israel since October 7.
