I think the key here is the billion dollars Israel spent knocking down hundred of Drones that costs about as much a a used car.

Ritters point is that a good pct of the ballistic missles got through... and were accurate.

My perspective is that Ratheon and the politicians they employ (bribe,) have produced an inferior product that doesn't work with high end misslery.

Our whole defense establishment is corrupt. The idea that a bullet can hit a bullet has been oversold .... for profits. And our ability to replenish stores of defensive mussles are inadequate.

Missles are the poor man's equalizer. Israel is a very small, densely packed country, which is very vulnerable to missle attacks.

Flying into Iran on a search and destroy mission to take out Iran's missle capabilities is a big big gamble. Iran is geographically massive.

It's not that Israel's military isn't superior. It is. But Iran has thousands and thousands of missles. And Hezbula has 30,000 rockets. One patriot missle cost 4 million dollars..

Just assuming Iran is stupid is not good strategy.

The destination of the missile is known very quickly and to within inches of its intended target by the systems used in Israel. Maybe Israel allows something in for more justification regarding the Israeli response that is going to be something the Iranians will remember for a very long time.

Of course, all other players in the region will have to behave accordingly as a result. Regardless, a ton of money is about to be made my the associated MIC's.
