“Russia has fired more missiles in the Ukraine war than have been fired by any country in any other conflict since World War II—a record, according to air-warfare experts...”

“2,154 Russian missiles hit our cities and communities in a little over two months”

______________________________________________

I guess this isn’t considered a “conflict?”

Israel 2021:

“Then came a 36-hour period from Saturday morning to Sunday afternoon when 800 rockets were fired. That appears to be an uptick again. Either way, what we know is that basically a week of rocket fire has seen around 400-500 fired a day.”

“By 7 p.m. on Sunday May 16, a total of 3,100 had been fired”

I think the difference is in the nature of the weapon used in Ukraine vs. Israel.

In Ukraine, they refer to MISSILES, all of which contain some sort of guidance system. In Israel, they refer to ROCKETS, which have no guidance system. Missiles are more accurate, but more expensive; rockets are inaccurate, but cheaper.

The rockets Palestinians fire are not missiles. They are really little more than model rockets packed with some explosives.
