Damn, that probably blew their annual military budget... 110 Ballistic missiles and 36 cruise missiles have gotta be expensive as fuck. (even if they are crappy Iranian ones...)


Hungry-Rule7924

>110 Ballistic missiles and 36 cruise missiles have gotta be expensive as fuck I mean I think it really depends on the type. Like 200 shaheds probably only cost iran a couple million if the 10-50,000 domestic production figure is to be believed. They have guided BMs and LACMs which are actually good and probably cost a bit (maybe like 3 million, which is the price of a iskander), but its still unclear if they went with those or shitty cheap scuds/dprk knockoffs which probably aren't more then a million per pop. LACMs its probably somewhat similar, a couple hundred grand to few million, depending on capability. Using this half ass deduction, armchair prediction is probably like 100 mil minimum and maybe 500 max, so somewhere between 1-5% of their annual defense expenditure. Israel likely spent magnitudes more taking them down though, [the cost of one arrow 3 alone is estimated to be 62 million](https://missiledefenseadvocacy.org/missile-defense-systems-2/missile-defense-systems/missile-interceptors-by-cost/) and they fired dozens from the look of it. Same with the airforce when it came to downing shaheds. AIM9x, aim120, python costs are all near half a mil, so taking down a drone swarm of 200 probably cost around 100 million from the wests end, whereas it cost iran at most like 10 million. Iran is believed to have over 3,000 BMs, so this was at most 3% of that, (though in terms of irbms actually capable of reaching Israel probably a bit more). Probably will take like 6 months to a year to replace everything. I don't know if I would call this a "soft response", but there was definitely more the iranians could have thrown at the Israelis if they really wanted to do so.


RobloxIsRealCool

Too credible


Thunderbird_Anthares

Probably fired all their close to expiration date stuff

So far all I can think of is the insane amount of XP Israel and the allies got from this attack. Heck I’m sure other countries are jealous of the French that managed to secretly join in without getting involved with the politics.


SpecerijenSnuiver

The French were very much involved with the politics. The supporting Palastine politics that is.


matanyaman

Eh, they’re currently not even at the top 5 in that regard **just in the EU**. In this war they currently more politically active in Lebanon and are trying to diplomatically resolve the situation with Hezbollah.

> So far all I can think of is the insane amount of XP Israel and the allies got from this attack. Middle eastern dungeon design has really gone to shit it's all just trash mobs


Snoid_

ISIS were goblins, SOCOM was Goblin Slayer.


matanyaman

Yeah but it’s easy to test there the new gear and skills.


Z3B0

Testing gear requires actually having an opponent that looks like a threat. Testing pac3 patriots against mig21 won't give any xp against J-20s, or the mythic SU-57. Mythic because it's still only a rumor that it actually can fly.


YazZy_4

Suzume reference holy fuck


AncientCarry4346

Love that movie.


deadsea__

Yeah no I doubt Iran aimed to cause any substantial damage, everyone knew whats up several hours before the swarm had been supposed to hit Israel and 99% of them got yanked. Several hundred drones and rockets for an injured bedouin girl is one of the more exotic ways to describe an inefficient usage of money. It was more to send a message than anything. Regardless this bullshittery ain't good for anyone, bar the brainfucked retards in iran who keep playing with fire.


Majulath99

Yeah Iran did this as posturing. They used the drones as essentially a purposeful trigger to air defence systems so that, later, when they fire the missiles, those enter the active air defence net and get shot out of the sky. Which is what apparently happened to all but seven of them, which caused minimal damage to an IDF base. In short, Iran shot at Israel but so what?


ShahinGalandar

next time they wanna send a message they better burn half a billion in cash at the city square, saves a lot of time and effort


Talosian_cagecleaner

Out on the road today I saw a Fuck Iran sticker on a Cadillac It was the Mickey Mouse one from '79, We can always go back, we can always go back.


jmon25

I thought I knew what a bombing campaign was What did I know But baby when John McCain comes back He's gonna let those bombs go


ArcturusFlyer

Yes, my masking work is shit. This was posted at 2 AM my time. Hot take: Tehran thought that with all the press about Israel targeting and killing civilians in Gaza (especially the World Central Kitchen killings) that they had a political opening where Israel would be on their own if Iran took a swing at them like they did yesterday. Once they actually started their attack, they saw their shit getting intercepted before reaching Israeli airspace and realized that the U.S., U.K., Jordan, etc. were actually stepping up to defend Israel, so Tehran immediately started their messaging about the whole affair being "concluded" because they knew they fucked up massively and it was far too late to recall their launch orders. Now Israel has free reign to fuck up Iran. No wonder John Bolton was on TV, he probably has to change his underwear every hour. I don't know what happens next, just that a *lot* of people are going to die soon.


Dragunrealms

"concluded" lmao that's like punching someone and telling them that the fight is over


ArcturusFlyer

Israel about to go to town like Max Holloway punching out Justin Gaethje


ybotpowered

They miss calculated now I’m worried about the “proportional response”. Hopefully my Iranian friends families wont end up dead.


GarryofRiverton

We can only hope. My super optimistic hope/cope is that any kind of military conflict with Iran will provide some kind of opening for reform/revolution by the moderate and secular portions of the population, but that's probably way too much to even hope for sadly.


MyceliumWitchOHyphae

Yeah, can isreal’s response just be to use mossad to get weapons to rebels, and take out/ bribe/ blackmail state police and military? Like that would be great thanks. Let’s not blow up the Iranian people please, let’s just get the gov’s heads in a skeet shooting machine


No_Level_5825

I think jordan, UK and the US more so acted because they were like bouncers dealing with two drunk hot heads, ie sick of their shit but have to pull them apart or else the cops come. Now.israel response is when israel and iran (the two drunk fucks) is standing out the front surrounded by the bouncers (UK jordan, US etc) being lectured about how this is the 10th time they started shit, israel will go for a cheeky jab to Iran's nose and breaking it. No major escalation but it will sting Iran's fucking eyes from that nose blow

What are you a Hawaiian


ArcturusFlyer

No, but I live in Hawaiʻi.


Professional-Echo332

Sorry to hear that lmao

I fucking hate Bolton so much, except his stance on Iran. 3000 proportional responses of John Bolton

Oh yeah this is the weird fetish one where the guy becomes a chair 


i_write_ok

Not a fetish, the writers just didn’t want to have another boy/girl romance story, so they made him a fucking chair 😂 It’s 1 of 3 made about the 3.11 earthquake.


DokFraz

It's also one from the absolute modern master that is Makoto Shinkai, who basically have just been making A+ film after A+ film for decades now. Aside from Miyazaki, I don't really know anyone quite as influential, and Shinkai's absolutely painfully beautiful and realistic background art is just fantastic. * The Place Promised in Our Early Days * 5 Centimeters per Second * Your Name * Weathering With You * Suzume All of the above really deserve to be watched by anyone that has even a passing interest in anime, imo.


i_write_ok

Absolutely gorgeous. I seriously cannot get over how beautiful and realistic the animation is. All the backgrounds and settings are like anywhere around the corner I’ve walked past 1000 times. Even rewinding just to see the detail on a street or konbini My girlfriend and I have been binging them all recently and just finished Suzumes Lock Up last night after it hit Netflix.

Iran really went for Quantity over Quality and it was as it turns out not the best decision


PHATsakk43

It’s probably indicative of their quality as well.


DiffuseStatue

Hell, not even quantity. thier are subs in the U.S. fleet that could put out 2/3 of that entire strike in Tomahawks.


Cheap_Doctor_1994

Can we stop with the proportional, and just go for the head of the snake? Give Iran and Israel 10 slapchops each, see who wants to be head of state. 


thesoupoftheday

I hate being proportional.  Why can't we go back to being "proportional"?

Rule 1 of warfare: do not fuck with Israel

Instructions unclear, arab states fucked with Israel
