Iran's massive missile and drone barrage targeting Israel over the weekend is similar to Russian tactics used in frequent strikes on Ukraine, according to a new assessment, after Iran launched its first-ever direct strike from its own territory into Israel.
"Iran's use of drones and missiles shows how Iran is learning from the Russians to develop increasingly dangerous and effective strike packages against Israel," the U.S. think tank, the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) said on Saturday.
Russia has launched thousands of missile and drone strikes on Ukraine in nearly 26 months of all-out war in the country. It has fired a variety of missiles and uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) at Ukraine, including Iranian-designed Shahed explosive drones.
Iran's strikes give Tehran chances to evaluate different attack strategies, understanding how "they can evade and overwhelm U.S. air and maritime defenses more effectively," the think tank said.
The U.S. provides both Israel and Ukraine with air defense capabilities.
On Saturday, Germany said it would transfer an additional Patriot system to Ukraine. The U.S.-made Patriot is considered the gold-standard of air defense, credited with intercepting some of Russia's most advanced missiles...

>>>>You are spamming the same meaningless post over and over on thread after thread of different and varying topics, it seems childish.<<<<

Oh no’s!!
Some anonymous chick with tattoos does not like me.
Who gives a shit.
She DOES like you.
She isn’t a zeeper.
We got it straightened out I think.
Good. She tears zeepers to shreds. I like her!
It seems to me it was Newsweek itself that starts right off at the beginning of the article, making the connection...
Well, another potentially useful thread about wartime tactics derailed by the Pooty Tooties. :-(
Nonetheless, I do have a question about said tactics, and you may have the background to give a useful answer:
Was last night’s attack on Israel the largest single episode (say, 8 hr. maximum duration of potential effects on the target country, including decoy action) of a long range drone and missile attack ever made? That seems likely to me.
