Reply to comment by rgbhfg in Ukraine says Iran’s help for Russia should push Israel out of neutral stance by Lahampsink

At that point, it's extremely uneconomical. Iran relies on smuggled western components for those drones, and launching a thousand of them to land ten hits on targets that probably aren't even that vital is a bad trade.

100 of those drones is about the price of a cruise missile, it really isnt and thats the issue

Tell that to hezbola and those who died while under the protection of the iron dome

Hezbollah hasn't killed any Israelis since the iron dome became operational.

Hasn't hezbollah not gone to war with Israel though after 2006? Or am I wrong and they have done attacks?

Not true, there was one successful ATGM ambush in 2015 on the Israeli border.

What does Russia have a fuck load of that Iran really wants. And could send towards Israel? How many shitty drones would they trade for a dozen of those?

That's still quite a bit cheaper than one jet and clears out some of their ammunition and tracking capacity so the jet has a better chance of getting through.
