it is interesting how these supposedly primitive primates have such modernistic and dangerous weaponry

one might have thought that Iran could not have snuck all those missiles and bombs into Yemen given Yemen’s location

A lot easier than into Gaza, and they managed that too.

“one might have thought that Iran could not have snuck all those missiles and bombs into Yemen given Yemen’s location.”

It’s easier sneaking them into Yemen than it is into Gaza; and yet, Gaza is armed to the teeth.

I think it depends on equipment, but 2020 estimate was $64 million.

Like the article, says, these drones are good in “uncontested airspace.”

IE. good for spying on helpless rag heads, but can be shot down by primitive air defence weapons.
