And that's only the cotst of defence. I don't think we know yet how much actual damage there was and if Iran managed to destroy just one air defence system this price tag could possibly double.

The fact that Israel refuses to show the actual damage at the base seems to indicate that it might be significant. If there was little to no damage they'd be bragging about it.

They're trying to do both at once, and not doing a very good job of it.

Entropy is typing...

If Israel escalates to a war with Iran it will lose to cost asymmetry

However Israel will win the posting war by gish galloping mind numbingly brazen posts like this that do completely disproportionate psychic damage to anyone debunking it.

The subject has also been very silent, looking at mainstream media there is no mention the air base.

yup

Israel, being a paper tiger, will never admit damages.
