It feels weird that Iran, a rather large country, is incapable of defending its airspace against aistrikes from Israel, which doesn’t even border Iran.
Coming from the India-Pakistan BVR dogfight where we saw hundreds of fighters, drones, s2a missile batteries, complete AWACS and EW platforms, and some IAF planes shot down at ranges exceeding 150km, it’s jarring seeing just how non functional Iran’s airforce and air defense is against a modern threat.
I don’t think they’re even capable of properly replicating the AIM-54, which is now an outdated LRAAM platform.
I mean yeah, they always know.
The question is how invovled were they in the attack itself (logistics, access to US surveillance, planning, etc.)
Trump seems to be implying this is “off hands” like he stopped engaging the Houthis in the red sea a while back.
I wonder if this is Netanyahu thrashing a bit in an effort to keep the US invovled, or the US proxying an Iranian attack with more plausible deniability.
