50M in offensive spend to burn through 1.3BN in defensive munitions seems highly effective to me. Great intel-gathering op.

- ein0p 3y agoThat was far more than 50M. Heavy ballistic rockets aren’t cheap even in Iran. And Iran could have used them to cause several times the amount of damage just by hitting a couple of AD deployment points. I think Israel understands that too, hence the difficulty with deciding how or whether to respond
- rokkitmensch 3y agoSo am I off by one order of magnitude or three?
- ein0p 3y agoDefinitely at least one order of magnitude off. For comparison, one Patriot battery can cost over a billion dollars, and they hit none. Not because they couldn’t (it doesn’t intercept hypersonics, which Iran has) but because they chose not to.
