Trump administration officials told lawmakers during a closed-door briefing on Capitol Hill Tuesday that Iran’s Shahed attack drones represent a major challenge and US air defenses will not be able to intercept them all, according to a source in the briefing.
This has been the play for a while now. The West became so smug about their air superiority that they went all-in on million-dollar-a-shot missile defense systems. How could their missiles penetrate our INVINCIBLE IRON DOME?
Well, it turns out some dudes making a few thousand gigantic glorified bottle rockets in a garage can make that get really expensive really fast. And it also turns out that you can’t intercept all of them when that happens.
God we really are Nazi Germany, who thought sloped armor was just the Soviets compensating for having “Judeo-Bolshevik steel instead of strong, Aryan steel.”
Lo and behold, Soviet tanks turning German tanks into magicians who disappear into thin air while German shells bounced off at point-blank ranges. Cost of a T-34? Some ~$13,000ish in materials and labor in 1941. Cost of a Tiger in 1941? Over $200,000 because they were basically using artisinal screws.
