The issue with arguments on these sites is they tend to be simple: If BiBi does A, then Iran does B. The problem with that is wars are not planned and fought that way.

Israel knows where the launchers and factories are. They would plan to not only destroy C&C, but take out the ways that Iran could respond. Those 40k ballistic missiles would do little harm if they are destroyed in a warehouse or bunker.

Very few people on this, or any other Internet forum, are going to describe the strategy and tactics that are at play here. Most are merely mouthing the propaganda from “their side.”

I DO know people who were senior leaders in the Iranian navy. They were dumb forty years ago. I cannot imagine they have aged well.

Many of those Iranian missile launchers are on a mobile platforms. They are also extremely spread out so that taking them all down is impossible. Israel is estimated to have spent $1 billion in just one day taking down those cheap Iranian drones. That’s not counting US and NATO contributions in taking these things down. The US took down 50% of them. That’s not sustainable in the long run. Keep in mind this was a somewhat limited Iranian attack. It was designed to show their capability to put their ballistic missile wherever they want. We would run out of anti-missile deterrents long before Iran runs out of missiles.
