Israel's defence against Iran attack 'cost over $1bn'
Israel's defence against Iran attack 'cost over $1bn'
Among the missiles used to counter Iran's attack on Saturday were the Arrow and David Sling missiles, which cost $3.5 million and $1 million.
You're viewing a single thread.
Right, so if each drone that they launched cost $2,000 a piece, that means Iran spent About half a million dollars in order to make Israel spend two billion dollars. I had said in a previous comment on another post that I suspected it was an economic wrist slap rather than a military one.
Hmm.
Iran could make those drones cheaper by removing all the armaments, then just keep sending waves of them at Israel.
They'll have to keep spending billions to shoot them down because one might be armed.
Economic warfare.
That is a good point. You don't have to arm all of them. You just have to arm at least one. And then they all have to be shot down because they don't know which one is the armed one.
I don't think arming any is actually necessary. Even if Iran said "none of the drones are armed" can Israel believe them? No, not really.
Even finding and inspecting the wreckage of a few that weren't armed isn't enough, because any of them might be next time.
Theoretically there should be no casualties too (though the debris and all the expended ammunition had to fall somewhere).
It's true that they could be armed next time, but I think not arming any of them would not be the way to go, because if they don't arm any of them, then the other country might get the idea that they won't arm them at all and stop shooting them down.
Then you arm all of them
LOL. That will teach them not to stop shooting down your drones for sure.
Good thing Ayatollah Shitstain isn't on Lenney then.
Indeed, also worth noting that these drones can be produced much faster than missiles. It's an actual game changer weapon because it's simply not sustainable to use traditional air defence methods against them.
