Two senior U.S. officials tell NBC News that military commanders are allowing some Iranian missiles and attack drones to get through air defenses amid an effort to preserve the Pentagon’s shrinking supply of missiles to shoot them down. NBC News’ Courtney Kube reports.
Anybody with a passing interest in modern military could have told you this. You don’t want to use an interceptor worth $2m to shoot down a drone that costs tens of thousands, unless it’s heading for something vital. Remember too that an interceptor system can’t just be purchased in unlimited quantities, so in the short term a fired missile is one less you have for tomorrows threats.
Ukraine and Russia have been doing this math every day for like 5 years.
It’s almost like they should have been working with and learning from Ukraine this whole time. I guess they will blame all this on Biden.
Of course it’s Biden’s fault. He started that fucking war with Iran 😭😭
