The Iranians need to understand:
1. Israeli warplanes can fly missions to Iran and return home
2. thousands of killer drones can be controlled via Starlink
3. after most protective Iranian troops are killed off by the warplanes and drones, Israeli commandos can go to work.

There’s little need for boots on the ground when Starlink drones can kill from the sky.

Ukraine has killed thousands of Russian soldiers using drones.

Sounds like a updated version of Giulio Douhet’s claim made in 1921 that the future of war was strategic air power. Armies, navies not needed.

Color me very skeptical!
