I mean what are they gonna do, move the data center out of strike range?

[–] OwOarchist@pawb.social -1 points 4 months ago (4 children)

They could position missile/drone interceptors in preparation.

Those don't seem to be working as well as Israel and the US hoped.

[–] Bbbbbbbbbbb@lemmy.world 13 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Maybe the goal is to waste interceptors on a shitty data center thats going to get blown up anyway because the interceptors dont work

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 13 points 4 months ago

Iran has already demonstrated that the US has pretty much zero ability to intercept their missiles. An interview with an expert on the subject if you're interested https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iN1cp0dYTDc

you clearly have not been up to date with this war, because they weren't able to intercept shit, besides, do you think they're going to move air defense away from nazisrael to protect data centers? or desalinization plants? or oil rigs? you can barely protect 1 of these targets, let alone all at the same time...

Which would leave other targets open to attack since we don't have enough counter drone stuff to defend everything. We're playing chess here not checkers.
