Anyone know the missiles fired to landing ratio? I figure it's got to be a large number of missiles/drones to get through the various missile defense systems.

Iran fires a wave of drones first and then time the rockets to land simultaneously.

Iran has multiple missiles, cheaper ballistic ones which follow an arc trajectory, and hyper-sonic ones which are more actively guided

The hypersonic missiles seem to get through frequently.

The ballistic missiles and drones mostly get intercepted, however the goal of those is to deplete interception missile stocks. It is rumored Israel will run out of those in around 12 days.

Sometimes I watch Ukrainian videos of their hits on Russian targets. It is nice to watch the attacked hitting back at the invading force.

Now I get to watch an insane aggressor get punched repeatedly after 19+ months of them commiting genocide.

My only hope is these counterattacks from Iran distract and take resources from the Israeli attacks on Gaza and the West Bank.

Let's be real, we have more than enough resources in the US to cover both at once. And if it's a lack of bodies, I'm sure Trump will have no problem sending US troops to die
