When Iran attacked the small country of Israel with drones, there was a joke from Iranians on social networks: “The journey is the destination,” it said about the images of the drones that were in the air for several hours on their way west . Sunday’s attack was the first direct attack that the Islamic Republic dared to carry out on the Jewish state. A novelty. A taboo break. An escalation. The saying about the unmanned missiles was explained in a little more detail in another post: Iran’s drones are unique among the world’s military technology, they believe that the journey should be enjoyed and reaching the goal is not that important. Below is a picture of an Iranian-made drone that got tangled in a power pole in Iraq and crashed halfway through. In fact, not a single one of the 170 drones that Tehran sent arrived in Israeli airspace. 30 cruise missiles were also shot down, 25 of them outside the target country of Israel.
