British Royal Air Force fighter jets shot down a “number of” Iranian attack drones launched against Israel, UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak confirmed on Sunday.
RAF jets scrambled to protect Israel from their bases in Iraq and Syria intercepted and downed Iranian military drones, Prime Minister Sunak said while warning that “the fallout for regional stability would be hard to overstate” if the strikes on Israel had been successful.

Thanks for posting.
I received an email last night asking for prayers for Israel, and that they were under attack by Iran.
FGB and impeach him. This is all because of his insane actions. And his master, Obozo.
You’re welcome
Typo
FGB should have been FJB
In a related topic.
There is a video on X where in literally maybe 1/2 minute a barrage of Iranian rockets were shot down by some air defense system.
they said at an estimated cost of the defense missiles was 1 BILLION dollars. In 30 seconds….
It will be impossible for this to keep going at that rate. Not sure the cost of the Iranian missiles.
That attacked because of their hate for freedom. I cant say that with a straight face anymore.
“That attacked because of their hate for freedom.”
They attacked because they want every single person who doesn’t worship their satanic “god” dead or enslaved.
It’s that simple.

Thank Ronald Reagan for developing this technology. Remember when the Dems said that this was “Star Wars” technology that was a waste of money?
the RAF has air bases in Syria?...
Saudi arabia maybe?
Still believe in Easter Bunny and tooth fairy?
Just to remind everyone of the pallets of money Obama and Biden gave to Iran to finance the construction of all these drones and missiles. May they both burn in Hell, the sooner the better.

Nazi Germany emphasized (expensive) quality over quantity.
The Soviet Union emphasized quantity over quality.
It’s not a perfect analogy with today’s situation, I know. But it’s worth noting that the Soviets won their war. So perhaps there’s a lesson to be learned.
“Still believe in Easter Bunny and tooth fairy?”
We’re you trying to make some kind of point?

the soviets won because of us supplying them with virtually everything except soldiers
Someone else just post the interceptor missiles are 2x as expensive as the Iranian rockets.
So can Israel keep spending 2x as much?
Right you are. American aid to the Soviets played a huge part, particularly with trucks.
But consider the Soviet’s home-grown T-34. Cheap to make. Nothing complicated there. Perhaps the T-34 was not as good as the expensive German Panther tank. And it certainly wasn’t as good as the very expensive Tiger tank.
One Tiger against one T-34, it’s no contest. But one Tiger against 20 T-34s and it’s off to Berlin the Soviets go.
Part of Cyprus is still a British Overseas Territory we still have a military base there including the RAF and Signals Intelligence.
