I know a little bit about bombs from a misguided youth .

Every single bomb, missile , bullet and weapons of any sort have a expiry date.

Starting a quick three month long war is the cheapest option to dispose of military assets that are out of date.

We will continue to see these events every ten years for that reason.

Russia is doing exactly the same with its own weapons and also gaining experience with the nato ( USA) weapons and new tactics in their Ukrainian war.

It’s just like cleaning out your fridge with whatever is going out of date.

Iran has done the same -
using up 10 year old and 20 year old missiles first.

As well as their old leaders, infrastructure, police stations etc. They get to build it all again from scratch.

Iran is being pounded by the biggest juggernaut in history.

It would be a pity if they actually have made a nuke or two?
Iran might use them as a kind of Samson option -
take everyone down with them.
Islam is an apocalyptic religion. Undecided

Not to mention Iran running very low on ballistic missiles and drones.

Israel is also using its new 'Iron Beam' system in the north against Hezbollah projectiles. The Iron Beam doesn't require interceptor missiles but instead uses high energy laser to damage drones.

Restrictions on public gatherings to ease in Israel as air defence holds

By Rory Challands
5 March 2026

AL JAZEERA

The Israeli air defence system is pretty competent and does stop the majority of missiles from getting through.

In recent days, the Israelis have decided the situation has been easing somewhat. They’ve decided to lessen some of the restrictions that have been placed on public life.

There’s been a five-day shutdown of events and gatherings in place. But from 12pm (10:00 GMT) on Thursday, gatherings of up to 50 people are allowed – provided people can get to shelters – and workplaces are going to reopen.

Schools and educational facilities are staying shut.

A second Iranian navy ship is sitting in international waters off the coast of Sri Lanka.

It has requested permission to enter Sri Lankan territorial waters.

Approval has not been provided, however the government is holding a high level meeting in relation to the matter.

It is currently a sitting duck, not knowing what lurks beneath!

You tell JaSin that.

Apparently there are more than 50 Australian sailors and officers serving across US attack submarine fleet a training regimen that is part of preparations for Australia to command its own nuclear-powered submarines under the Aukus deal.
