These were the throwaway drones and lesser missiles sent to identify the radars and launchers for a real Iranian attack. The few high end missiles sent easily hit their targets after evading the best, most layer air defense in the world.

For any brave enough to look past the Western narrative, fifteen minutes of your time here will tell what actually happened and why it was such a game changer.

White House shocked.

Biden: Omigosh. I was worried they’d hit Persia but now here they go attacking Iran. I can’t keep up.

Wait until Ezekiel 38 comes, boys

I'm shocked at the Godless Reprobate Biden Administration

2 Peter 3:10-13
King James Version

10 But the Day of the Lord will come as a Thief in the Night; in the which the Heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the Earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,

12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the Day of God, wherein the Heavens being on Fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for New Heavens and a New Earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

The Russians also got a good look at the USA, UK and French air defence in operation.

It was costly intercepting all those missiles. The estimated cost to Israel was $1.3 billion and that doesn’t count what it cost the US and UK who took down 50% of them. Iran said it cost them only $35 billion. (2% of what it cost Israel) If they do this a few more times the West is gonna run out of anti-missile missiles. Iron Dome can’t take down the ballistic missiles Iran has only the much more expensive Patriot missiles can take them down.

Nothing new about trying to overwhelm an air defense network by throwing lots of targets at it.

The Israelis mainly prioritize protecting civilian vs. military targets, so it's not surprising the air base got hit with something given the volume of fire.

The Arrow exoatmospheric ballistic missile defense is now proven tech, and the first destruction of ballistic missile warheads above the Karman line have taken place.

There always seems to be a lot of hype about Russian, Chinese, or non-Western weaponry. But Western weapons like the Patriot, IRIS-T, or even the old Gepards seem to outperform their specs. The Kinzhals and Iskanders were supposed to be impossible to intercept but are shot down regularly.

It doesn't take much to surprise this White House.

The were surprised that withdrawing US forces from Afghanistan led to the victory of the Taliban, were surprised that stopping the Saudi war against the Houthis led the Houthis to attack everyone, surprised that appeasing Iran led to Hamas' attack on Israel, surprised that their unparalleled display of weakness and appeasement led Putin to invade Ukraine.

They believe their self-righteous virtue signaling provides an invincible defense. In brief, they are ideologically committed fools.

How could they be shocked when they knew in advance this was going to happen?
The Iranians told Turkey and they told us and we gave them the go ahead.

This is an obvious admission that America’s ‘intelligence’ community is either hamstrung, or retarded. Iran is ruled by a very dangerous regime. What they will do, or use to destroy Israel is obvious... Everything they can.

So the question is... Will America stand by and let Iran destroy Israel? Giving money to Iran was, is and always will be dumb*ss mistake. As for America’s ‘intelligence’ community... They’ve had 44 years to overthrow a despot regime run by Ayatollah’s... They have either failed to do so because of incompetence, or they have failed to so because they have been compromised. My guess is the later and the CIA, NSA and all the other ‘A’s’ are now working for the United Nations, and not America.

Sleepy Joe: “Wow! I never realized how many missile drones Iran could buy with the billions I sent them.

Biden cut short his vacation at Rehoboth Beach.

He must not have super secret phone line at his home to give Iran a heads up call?.

The Democrat party, under Barak Obamugabe and Pedo Pete Xiden, sent BILLIONS OF DOLLARS to Iran.

They weren’t surprised by Iran’s drone attack—they funded it.

My how the narrative has changed. Initially reported that the attack by Iran was a major fail. 99% of the missiles were intercepted.
