What Iran learnes from Israeli Air Defences on the 14 April missile and drone attack.

Why can't Ukraine receive the same protection from Russian drones that was afforded to Israel by the UK and US last week? This question has not been lost on President Zelensky who certainly believes Ukraine deserves the same level of protection that was afforded to the Middle Eastern nation that was attacked by over 300 Iranian drones. The aerial attack was thwarted with the help of the Royal Air Force, the US Air Force and other nations. April 2024

Israel Defense Forces spokesperson Daniel Hagari has warned Iran will not get off “scot-free” following Tehran's missile and drone attack. Israel claimed more than 300 missiles and drones were fired by Iran, Iraq, Syria and Yemen, but most were intercepted before entering Israeli airspace. “Firing 110 ballistic missiles directly to Israel, will not get off "scot-free” Mr Hagari said. “We will respond in our time, in our place, in the way that we will choose,” he said. World leaders are calling for calm, to de-escalate tensions in the region.

There is a bit of a myth about Russia’s army in Ukraine. That Moscow’s soldiers are inexperienced, ramshackle troops sent into hopeless charges at well-defended positions at the behest of inexperienced and brutal commanders. They have little tactical sense and even less strategic vision. Of course, some of that is true - the Russians do use ‘meatgrinder’ assaults, armoured columns often do run into trouble in Ukrainian minefields (with pyrotechnic results) and Russia frequently relies on troops with insufficient training and poor kit. Even today, huge numbers of armoured vehicles and tanks are being lost as Russian forces attempt to advance and it’s a live question how long such losses can be borne. But the Russians aren’t stupid, and the army does learn, albeit slowly. April 2024
