The Iranian attack was a sham if none of the drones and missiles were armed.

At 7:15 am IDF Spokesperson R.-Adm. Daniel Hagari said that 99% of the aerial threats were shot down, which he said was a strategic achievement.

Zero of the close to 200 drones and zero of the 30 cruise missiles got through to Israeli territory at all.

Twenty five of the 30 cruise missiles were shot down by Israel.

So because the iron dome defense system works, the attack was fake? That’s some weird logic.

@sree251 [quote]Good point. I still think that the missiles and drones could have been detonated in the air. That did not happen. Also, the attack was expected. Everybody was waiting.

According to the news, the Iranians told America abut the impending attack.

@sree251 Of course it was expected! Israel hit the Iranian embassy in Syria a couple weeks ago, and it was expected that Iranian proxies in neighboring countries would retaliate. It was not at all expected that the attack would come from Iran directly, so the cycle may continue for a bit now because of the nature of the politics there. But I’m sure you’ll be ready with some new conspiracy theory when the next round is launched.

I expected Iran to lob at least one nuclear detonation over Israel. It won't matter much what the retaliation will be. The place will be a mess.

This was to make them use up all their patriot missles. They wont have enough to spare in a second attack.

If "90%" of missiles were shot down before they reached their targets, what about the 10% that got through ? What were on those missiles?

Looking further into this, the missile attack was more for show than serious intent. Why give so much notice?

This was a test just to reveal Israel's defence capabilities.

What should concern everybody more is the multiple launch bases across several neighbouring countries this attack came from.

What makes you think the drones weren’t armed?

Show us your proof.
It wasn’t a sham. The air defense systems were better than the attack systems.

@sree251 You made the claim. Provide proof..

Put up or shut up.

I was right. The Iranian attack was staged as analyzed by political commentators on social media. It drew a response to that attack to gain intel for the next attack. Quite clever. I wouldn't be surprised if the Russians were involved in crafting the strategy.

And first prize for anti Israel conspiracy theory. The Royal Air Force and the US Air Force helped Israel make up a threat that Ayatollah Khamenei has confirmed?

But it’s ok because you have decided none of the weapons were armed?

sree251 · 41-45, M

@meJess Can you speak directly. I don't know what you are insinuating.
