How many ballistic warheads got through? Not the ballistic bodies, the heads.

BTW not much difference between the Mullahs and the Israeli right extremists. Both sides are steeped in religious mumbo jumbo.

These are serious times. BIbi is trying to force Biden to support him into a major retaliation against Iran and Biden is telling him to cool it...this is an election year; no American wants to countenance oil at $150.

The possibility exists that Biden might turn his back on a intransigent Bibi. That would be extraordinary.

They are ballistics and ballistics. Some are more sophisticated. Some have warheads which at some point during flight separate from the body and proceed using their own propulsion.
Basically no ballistic should get through to its target.

So how many ballistic warheads got through in a telegraphed attack?

Dunno, but very few, if any. OTOH, Israel just demonstrated that it can safely attack inside Iran at will.

Is there some sort of point in your question? If so, get to it, tovarisch.

He's just pissed that all the Russian weapons systems have proven so inferior to ours and those of our allies.

Saw a Bradley with a 30mm autocannon just fuck up a Ruzz 80? 90? tank a month or two ago.
