The IDF releases footage showing Israeli Air Force fighter jets downing some of the 170 drones and 30 cruise missiles fired from Iran at Israel overnight.
“Nice shootin,’ Tex!” 🤠
No, it was all staged - Biden got Iran and Israel just to stage a show.......
Have you read THAT one......./rolls eyes
I’d hate to have been the Zero G intern who had to explain to Jo Jo just who Netanyahu is when the phone rang.
I hope they weren’t using $200K missiles to shoot down $50K drones. Seems cheap bullets would have served the same purpose.

Bflv.
Why should they care? They are spending our money.
I didnt’t read the details but Zerohedge tweeted that it may have cost 1 billion dollars last night total in defense
Does a pilot get a credit for a kill for taking out a drone or cruise missile? The video seems to show all the kills were using missiles. Would have though using guns would be just as effective against the drones.

Well I’m sure the US helped train the pilots and we use a $200,000 missile to shoot down a $50 toy balloon
(Reminder all the sightings of more balloons after the original China one a few years ago?)
Those missiles have a "best if used by" date, which is further shortened by "airframe hours" (time spent mounted to an aircraft, subjected to buffeting and vibration). Bottom line, the things cost $$$$ to refurbish or replace every ten years or so (shorter interval if they see a lot of flight time), so the money gets spent either way.
Wow! Very impressive!
Sadly, it’s all paid for by paper money printed by the Democrats, RINO’s and marxists.
The end of the financial road is in sight for the West.
We are now accumulating and capitalizing interest at the rate of $60,000.00 per second. That’s $3.6 million in the one minute it took me to type these half dozen sentences.
I figured they used those 20 or 30mm cannons on them. Why waste missiles?
