#1 During the 1980's Iran-Iraq war + its "War between the Cities", it was also the Iran-vs-Iraq "Battle of/between the Scuds".

In the on-going Saudi-vs-Houthi war in Yemen, thus far it appears to be the "Battle of/between the Shorties", i.e. SRBM-vs-SRBM???

MANO-E-MANO, SSM-VS-SSM.

#2 What I would really like to see is massive crop-failure in Iran.

#5 nice system but still expensive

Israel is working on a directed energy defense system which would use lasers fired by drones to disable missiles. Hasn't got to test stage yet (or possibly it was tested but performed so poorly that they didn't want to release the results).

If Israel had this, it would essentially make the whole Iran missile and bomb program worth much much less.

#6 I doubt it cost as much as the great f35. Will more than likely work better to.
