>>63901754The Iranians were posting vids of them launching clusters of missiles that take 3-4 hours to prep in broad daylight. Multiple times. Whatever "air superiority" the IAF had, it wasn't nearly enough.
>>63901793>thirdiesAlright Pajeet, I'll humour you, what exactly did Israel get out of this conflict that was worth the cost? Ignoring the obvious damage to Israel, lets looks at their three main objectives.
>Regime ChangeAbsolute total failure. Population rallied around the flag while the reformist faction in Iranian politics was humiliated and the hardliners vindicated.
>Destruction of nuclear programNear total failure. Had to call in Zognald to drop MOPs on Fordow and, regardless of the effectiveness of that strike, 400kg of 60% Uranium is somewhere and good luck trying to find it. Witkoff is already back in Oman offering Iran $20-$30B for a "civilian nuclear program" and unfreezing $6B in Iranian assets if they agree to not have any in country enrichment lmao.
>Destruction of ballistic missile programAlso near total failure. Couldn't stop launches, couldn't destroy underground factories or missile cities, handful of TELs that weren't decoys actually knocked out were destroyed with on the ground assets, not planes. Got so embarrassing the IDF twitter started reposting the same strike but minorly edited lmao.
So please tell me, Sanjay, what did Israel actually gain?
>>63901825Yea, Iranian AD outside the cities seemed non-existent, but the sheer size of Iran and its terrain made whatever air superiority they had a near non-factor. Plus the Iranian FM is likely on a Chinese shopping spree so Israel may not get this air superiority chance again.
