      update 2: these were confirmed, but only later. ultimately, it was: 170 drones, 30 cruise missiles, all intercepted outside israeli airspace, and 120 ballistic missiles, most intercepted outside israeli airspace. some noncritical damage to nevatim AB (east of beersheba)

      okay, here’s al jazeera reporting on the ballistic missile, it’s a one liner but it’s something

      this is a saturation attack imo, the question is, at what target?

        At this point I believe the shaheds are manufactured in Russia. I know at minimum some quantity of them are.

          if you’re refering to facility in alabuga, then they’re making hulls, but not sure about the entire rest of the drone. russians are also clearly capable of making warheads
