Snippet from an interesting longer thread.
the conflict between iran and israel is hiding a secret.
an enemy might have millions of bullets but that's all they are if u have only one gun to shoot them. this was israel's strategy.
eliminate the guns, ergo, the enemy can't shoot their bullets.
israel reported that their combat jets destroyed man of iran's missile ballistic systems. that's not exactly true.
before the active conflict started, israel had infiltrated dozens (well, really more than that) teams of drone operators and their equipment over several months into iran.
the vast majority of iran's missile launchers were destroyed by those drone teams.
knowing where iran kept their missile systems, they simply waited for iran to roll out their missile LAUNCHERS out of their secure hangars, and then sent out their drones to destroy those missile launchers.
as a result, altho iran has thousands of missiles, many of their launchers were destroyed by those drone teams.
the first day, iran launched only 200 missiles against israel, the next day only 100, and then the next day a mere 50. yesterday, no missiles were launched.
it's not that iran no longer has missiles. it still has plenty of them. their problem is that they have much fewer missile launchers.
the iranians actually know what is going on. it is no secret that they are aware of the israeli drone teams are in their country but they can't find them since the israelis are extremely well hidden in iran's empty western regions. iran built their missile bases in isolated areas of the country intentionally (and stupidly) to keep them away from prying eyes of the public, especially spies. but this enabled the israeli drone teams to hide in those empty regions. the israelis operate as "shoot and scoot", i.e., they send their drones, then scamper back into their hiding places, letting the drone's software program identify the missile launchers and hit them.
the missile launcher drivers are petrified of this, hearing of most of their brethren suddenly disappearing in a large plume of fire so they are literally now refusing to leave their compounds to launch their missiles.
end result, no guns to fire their "bullets". the reason why only 50 missiles were fired the day before and no missiles fired yesterday. the drivers are too scared to go out.
so, now u know.
this whole thing was planned by israel months in advance, and their meticulous planning was superb, as expected.
the israelis have long penetrated the highest levels of iranian military, nuclear, and political levels. this is how they are aware of where top level scientists, senior military leaders, and political leaders are located, down to the minute. the iranians are deeply frustrated. no matter how secret their plan their mtgs, the israelis are aware of them so they are able to lob bombs straight into the very bldg where the iranian military, scientific, and political leaders are congregating.
naturally, the iranians have become truly paranoid. they cannot trust anyone. even though they are restricting knowledge of their supersecret mtgs, the israelis time and time again know every single time. this means there is not just one top level spy but that the iranians top leadership is riddled with numerous israeli spies, in every sector of military, scientific, and political organizations. the iranians don't know who to trust. they can't trust ANYONE.
the israelis now have total control of the iranian airspace, their jets fear no air defense. they fly with impunity. each iranian missile cost several million dollars. the use by israel of smart bombs cost a few thousand. meanwhile, iran has a shattered economy and cannot afford to buy more ballistic missiles, especially as they see most of them shot down in the sky or on the ground.
score one (again) for the israelis.
they have eliminated hezbollah, hamas, syria, so that iran no longer has any proxies to harass israel when it attacks iran. iran is all by itself. none of the arabic countries are giving them even lip service support. in fact, all the arabic countries would love to see the mullahs get destroyed. (many arabs were subjugated by the iranians in the past. there is absolutely no love lost between arabs and iran, particularly since iran is shiah and all the rest of the arab countries are sunni. sunnis believe that the shiah are heretical apostates to main islam and should be obliterated. the reason this rift exists is because after mohammad the prophet died, there was a succession crisis, where shiahs followed one leader while the sunnis all agreed another leader was legitimate.
