They hit 99% of the ones they aimed for. Ones that weren’t going to hit anything didn’t need to be targeted.

They also forced Israel to shoot up to a billion dollars, shooting down a few hundred $5000 drones.

Question: Iran is spending a few million to launch mostly cheap drones before sending over the kill shots, while Israel is spending billions. How many of these volleys can Israel sustain?

Answer: Not many -- just like the Ukies

It's called war of attrition. He who has the most bullets wins.

There was more than just the 170 or so drones.
There was also 30 cruise missiles, and at least 110 ballistic missiles.

Until Israel demonstrates that it can do a better job with their ballistic missiles? I don't know.

Methinks there will be some mysterious deaths and "work accidents" in the meantime.
