    Iran’s current strategy of bombardment isn’t in superior tech, it’s in the volume of drones it can cheaply deploy en masse to overwhelm defences, whilst we drain our resources with our much more expensive defensive equipment

    I know what you mean about having other NATO countries in between to whittle 1000 down to 1, but safest countries tend to be at the apex of the parabola, and not at the intercept
