Even the Russian S-400 Triumph can be overwhelmed. That's the way to bypass those stuffs, claiming it's overhyped and all of that is totally unacceptable, especially coming from a Nigerian boy/man.
It's fair to say they're over hyped because Iran's missiles were their first real test and they were found wanting

I've seen here how Russia's S-400 have been slammed by Ukraine supporters and they've been doing well in Ukraine against all kinds of attacks

Let's not forget that Israel didn't only rely on their own defenses, there were the Arab governments, the western allies (US,UK,France etc) who were there to intercept on behalf of Israel

The assessment isn't good

The pro-west guys have a hard time conceding to better points, it's as if they fear that doing so will make them doubt everything they believe

What AD will do magic now that Arrow, David sling and THAAD all failed against the last Iranian onslaught?

I remember how much they boasted about their "multilayered air defence systems" involving a coalition of allies.
And isreal needs to tread carefully this period because any little mistake and she will be in soup.
Attacking Iran is not the problem but the ripple effect of the aftermath.. Iran striking back by blowing up military bases, military runways for fighter jets thereby rendering them useless in whatever hangers they are means Isreal is foocked and placed at the defensive side.
With the air force being rendered useless, it is a greenlight for many groups at the border to attack since all battles now will be on ground
Air has been the cheat code they have been using to wipe off enemies and taking that out will spell a doom for them

Okay then, but one thing though, let's assume there are about 4 to 5 reasons as to why an air defense mechanism no matter how sophisticated can be assumed to have failed.

1. For instance, Israel's air defense systems are designed to handle a certain number of incoming threats. If Iran launched a large, coordinated barrage of missiles, it could overwhelm the system's capacity, allowing some missiles to bypass the defenses. Does that render it useless? Not quite, but of course, as with everything else in the tech world, it cannot be perfect.

2. Forget about talks about sanctions and all of that. Iran has developed various missile systems, including long-range ballistic missiles that may be more sophisticated than the rockets Iron Dome typically intercepts. Missiles with maneuverable warheads, stealth characteristics, or even faster speeds can be harder to track and intercept.

3. I also think that the defense system can at some point witness a great deal of saturation. In the case of Israel that uses a layered defense system, including Iron Dome (short-range), David's Sling (medium-range), and Arrow (long-range) systems. A massive, simultaneous attack across different ranges could saturate multiple layers of the defense, making it difficult to stop all missiles. Iran understood this very well and played the cards almost to perfection.

4. Also, it should be noted that some missiles might be fired from angles or at trajectories that exploit gaps in radar coverage or defense systems. Particularly long-range missiles fired from Iran could come in from higher altitudes or different directions than those typically encountered from Gaza or Lebanon.

5. I also think that Iran may have used electronic countermeasures or decoys to confuse Israeli defense systems, disrupting radar and missile guidance systems.

6. Another thing I think is that maybe, just maybe the Israelis' air defense systems prioritize intercepting missiles that pose the greatest threat to populated areas. Some missiles may have been intentionally left to strike less critical targets to conserve resources for more dangerous ones. This is me just assuming though.

Honestly I don't want them to tread carefully.
I also want them to make that mistake so that all you said (which are quite correct) can happen quickly, for the middle East to have peace and for the US to lose its vice grip over the region.

Natanyahu is reckless, yes. But believe me guy, he's not stupid. Israel are in a tight corner, if they strike Iran well enough it will be deemed as being "too far-fetched". And if they strike lightly, the response they'll get from Iran will be far more devastating. Remember they're fighting on multiple fronts already,it only remains to be seen whether they'll chose to respond at a far later period or they'll simply let this slide. But knowing Natanyahu sha... He might resume hostilities with Iran after they must have subdued Hamas and Hezbollah to a reasonable extent.

Situation south of Lebanon [11/10/2024]:
After nine days of operation “Northern Arrows” the IDF has established a presence in the following locations: Yaroun, Maroun El-Ras, Aitaroun, Blida, Meiss el Jabal, Al Adeisseh & Kfarfela.
Hezbollah's resistance is tenacious, which has prevented Israeli troops from penetrating deep into Lebanese territory, mountainous and full of Lebanese militia positions, mostly local.
As a consequence, Israeli forces have resorted mainly to air power to attack Hezbollah bases in the territory in addition to the demolition of a large part of Lebanese villages, especially Maroun El-Ras, which could be considered the first Lebanese locality to be “taken” by Israel since the beginning of the offensive

YouTube and Google should be renamed into NATO propaganda 1 and NATO propaganda 2.
You can't do a proper research on Google on anything concerning Ukraine, it was very hard to avoid Israeli propaganda on YouTube for more than a month, the way YouTube just forced Israeli propaganda on anybody watching YouTube in France (and probably everywhere in the west) was very disgusting.

All media and social media just turned into biased propaganda machines. Disgraceful !

Don't blame them too much. Israel's victory in the 6-day war has convinced them that some imaginary entity is personally fighting for Israel himself. I've seen NLanders claiming that Israel could defeat Russia here so dem no fit surprise me 😂😂😂
Re: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by Ghostagain: 10:56pm On Oct 12, 2024
Some have even claimed Nigeria could easily defeat Russia 🤣

They don't know that Ukraine was stronger than Israel before Ukraine and Russia started fighting.

One thing is very sure Israel will retaliate but when?
It took Iran long to retaliate because you're master USA begged them not to and that there would be a ceasefire in Gaza. When Iran found out they lied, they responded.

How are we even sure the 6 day war was fought by isreal alone? We were only fed by the western media about what happened.
With what am seeing so far, the west and Nato heavily supported them.
If not for social media today, we will still believe isreal is the one single handedly fighting in Gaza and Lebanon while the reverse is the case.
So many weapons coming from Germany, US, UK. Funds and spying supports.
We would have been told how brave they were blowing up embassy, Hezbollah bunkers etc without knowing US is the one behind.
If not for social media, we would have been praising Ukraine how bold they are to stand up to a bully like Russia and blowing up many Russian ships and military bases, meanwhile the US the brain behind it but just using Ukraine hand to act

Lmao.

Are you blind? Can't you see the disclaimer in the so-called news and screenshot you shared.

"We only have the army's account of what happened here". Even the BBC that is only opinionated towards Israel is saying this is not our news but the Israeli army's official position.
"Account of what happened in that part of Lebanon, where the journalist visited."
Anyway, you have seen that IDF are deep in Lebanon territory as updated "couple of miles in Lebanon territory."

This is absolutely true. The West used to enjoy complete media dominance at that time and everything they said was gold. Israel has been caught lying over a hundred times (by my estimates) since last year, and most of them had been reported as factual by western media. There's definitely much more to the story than we have been told

⚡Germany will no longer provide Ukraine with heavy military equipment

Zelenskyy asked German Chancellor Scholz for permission to strike Russia with Western weapons and a guarantee of quick accession to NATO. Scholz ignored.

Although Germany announced new aid, it turned out to be a previously promised supply.

The Bundeswehr will no longer provide Ukraine with heavy equipment, including Leopard 2 tanks, PzH 2000 howitzers and Marder IFVs.

German Defense Ministry does not believe in the possibility of a Ukrainian counteroffensive anymore.
