Quite like this whole, "we'll be popping round to bomb the shit out of you on the 13th, please let us know if you won't be in" approach to warfare.

Would appreciate it if the Russians could give us a few days warning so I can give up on work and spend my remaining hours playing computer games in my pants. Thanks lads.

Why do you have computer games in your pants?

Ukraine-Russia has its throwback to WWI with the remorseless reliance on artillery barrages... now Israel-Iran has its own to WWII with in essence sophisticated V bombs, or the Blitz without pilots.

The drone attack on Israel is the same method used by Russia in Ukraine.

The drones attempt to swamp air defencences allowing the missiles to get through. 

The drones seem to come from various points, including Yemen and possibly from Iranian affiliated in Lebanon.

Unlike Ukraine, Israel has a massive air defence and direct  US and UK assistance in shooting down incoming drones and missiles.

It is probably more a test than anything but the attack will be supported anyway by supporters of Iran and those that are enemies of Israel.

No doubt Israel and her allies will be analysing the attack too.

No idea what the Israeli response will be but as said may use it as an reason/ excuse to expand their operations from targeting Hamas and civilians in the occupied states to attacks on Lebanon and Yemen and possibly Iranian military targets.

Interesting times. In regards to the original post, hopefully 1 + 2 doesn't make 3 on this occasion.

Even though this would feel like about WW7.

Iran state TV saying a "first wave" of ballistic missiles have now also been fired - their version of Scud seemingly.

Remarkable to have reached a situation where Iran's openly and directly bombarding Israel.

In my day "scud" meant something quite different.

In Israel's case it's usually "if you're unable to receive our explosive munitions we'll drop them on a neighbour instead".

Here, Iran must have some firepower. They've bypassed all technological advancement in cameras and still film on potatoes in aid of pouring money at weapons of mass destruction. 

Be vewwy vewwy quiet.
