Some time ago, Iran's retaliation against Israel came to an end - missile strikes and hundreds of drone suicide attacks that lasted all night left Israel and its allies tired of interception, and even the United States, which claims to have the strongest military technology, still allowed up to seven missiles to successfully fall on the strike site, causing minor trauma to it.

Not only that, but the damage reports presented by both sides afterwards were also quite surprising.
At first glance, Iran, which destroyed a large number of drones, should have lost more, but in fact, the cost of the entire attack by Iran, which invested a large number of drones, was only tens of millions of dollars, and the conservative estimate of the final cost of the defense Israel, including the fuel cost of the fighters, was about $1 billion.
In this way, Israel's defense is really a loss-making deal.
However, to be more detailed, war often cannot be a simple algorithm with simple addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
Judging from the results of the Israeli war, defense is still used as an auxiliary means in general, and even the overall interception rate of the United States is not very ideal, and it will cost dozens of times the cost of the attacker to do defense, and the defensive means are more about reducing the losses caused by the opponent's attack.
So some people wondered, if the target of the attack becomes the mainland in the future, can we deal with it well?
I am still optimistic about this, after all, Israel, as a country that emerged after the end of World War II, its military and development are often tied to the Western world. This also creates that its military strength is dependent on Europe and the United States, which can be easily seen from this defensive war, after all, most of the drones and missiles are still intercepted by Europe and the United States.
Since its founding, we have unswervingly developed our own military science and technology, and over the years we have developed quite mature radar jamming and communication technology, which can detect the opponent's missiles at a long distance, so that we can easily detonate and intercept them at a long distance.
The second is that Israel does not have enough space in strategic depth and less room for maneuver, and as a small country, any blow will be fatal to him, so Israel can only choose to intercept it in the face of a missile attack.
However, as the country that ranks first in the world, the mainland has a large land area and plenty of room to maneuver, and can have more means to minimize losses.
However, the most crucial factor in this is that the mainland is strong and has few feuds.
In a country like Israel, he is almost single-handedly confronting Arab countries, not only with many enemies, but also arrogant and domineering in the international arena. For example, in this missile attack, the most fundamental root cause is that Israel inexplicably bombed the Iranian embassy that led to Iran's retaliation.
The mainland, on the other hand, has always adhered to the principle of respecting the internal affairs of other countries and not interfering in the private affairs of other countries, nor has it used the power and majesty of a big country to oppress small countries.
Of course, as the so-called weak country has no diplomacy, the strong military strength we have now is also the foundation of our protection, and it is precisely because of such a strong military deterrent that those hungry wolves who covet our land retreat.
But in general, war is a non-essential means, and offense is often much more effective than defense.
In the face of a missile raid, in addition to using defensive means to stop the opponent's missiles, more often than not, it is a retaliatory strike, and in such a tug-of-war battle, whoever collapses first and the war situation is the first to be unfavorable.
However, at present, several military powers have not revealed their strength at the bottom of the box, whether it is the United States, Russia or the mainland, they should pinch the hole cards that will not be revealed easily.
