The cost for one night of defence seen as significantly higher than the price Iran paid to mount its attack

It cost Israel more than $1bn to activate its defence systems that intercepted Iran’s massive drone and missile attack overnight, according to a former financial adviser to Israel’s military.

“The defence tonight was on the order of 4-5bn shekels [$1-1.3bn] per night,” estimated Brigadier General Reem Aminoach in an interview with Ynet news.

“If we’re talking about ballistic missiles that need to be brought down with an Arrow system, cruise missiles that need to be brought down with other missiles, and UAVs [unmanned aerial vehicles], which we actually bring down mainly with fighter jets,” he said.

“Then add up the costs - $3.5m for an Arrow missile, $1m for a David’s Sling, such and such costs for jets. An order of magnitude of 4-5bn shekels.”

    I cited nothing.

    I quoted the word because you used it incorrectly in a myriad of ways.

    Here’s one, it’s not by their campaign so maybe you might be able to throw that bias of yours out.

    Sorry it came from Lancet and not Cato. These studies are literally EVERYWHERE it’s honestly hard work to truly believe what you do.

    ^ the article was published in Lancet.

        The Abstract ALONE claims the opposite.

        You’re using words hoping people will believe you because you’re saying them like an asshole talking down to children.

        To your “lower pay” point that’s not necessarily true and the article explains the how.

        The savings to providers alone would be double the “decrease” in pay, again pay would only go down through a grift.
