Attack on abqaiq was done through kamikaze drones, air defence network was also down, so iran was "allowed" to get through.
This is an even more unbelievable excuse than the "patriots were facing away from Iran and that's why they could not target these systems".
Nobody is buying these excuses. The fact is, their air defences failed to even detect these systems.
Yes saturation is there, but attack on csg will not work unless you have counter EW on your shoulder that is something i would say unknown.
EW are useless against ballistic missiles. How would EW work exactly on ballistic missiles?
Some of the BM failed to explode in recent iraq attack, so for iran to succeed, they will have to fire multiple salvos against single target to neutralize it.
Iran fired 15, 1 failed in flight and the rest all hit. Even the Pentagon admitted the missiles hit their intended targets.
All ballistic missiles are inherently vulnerable to issues during firing/flight. That's why when a nation fires ballistic missiles, they always fire more than what is needed, because they're taking into account some may fail/explode during flight etc.
