Episode notes
Launchers, Not Missiles, Are The Bottleneck
- Iran's claim of a 2,000-missile salvo is more strategic signaling than current capability.
- The true limitation is launchers, command networks, and vulnerability to preemptive strikes.
Production vs. Deployment Gap
- Producing missiles is easier than producing mobile launch systems and hardened infrastructure.
- Coordinating hundreds of launchers requires secure communications and tight timing that can fail under jamming or detection.
Recent Conflict Revealed Practical Limits
- Iran demonstrated limits during the recent conflict, launching ~500 missiles over a dozen days.
- Even hundreds getting through would cause severe damage, especially with allied groups amplifying the strike.
