Reading some stuff up on how much the Israelis claim to have degraded Iran in two days is pretty damning for Iranian capabilities and how long it can keep up attacks.
Israel has lived with the threat of missiles/ drones for years and since the Gulf war they and the US have been working to perfect detection and destruction of launchers to an art. They already had targeted a lot of sites in attacks on Iran earlier last year alone prior to US involvement.
Each wave of Iranian attack since this conflict started has apparently got smaller suggesting a good success rate in taking them out and there's now reports of military facilities in Iran being abandoned. Both are reasonable assumptions and probably likely under circumstances.
If as suggested by one commentator this is happening it's a massive difference to previous conflicts:
The difference now: persistent ISR from space-based sensors, AI-assisted targeting, and F-35 sensor fusion creating kill chains that compress the detect-to-destroy timeline from hours to minutes. The mobile launcher that once survived by relocating between launches now gets struck during erection sequence
Detection in minutes by using AI on satellite images to spot anything that looks like a drone or missile launcher once you have established air superiority and can patrol and respond accordingly very quickly, is going to be a game changer. You can't hide anything and you can't escape from aerial response. (I wonder if the Ukrainians are feeling particularly pissed off at this point)
The interception rate was already put at 93%.
Whilst it's probably going to be a while to deal with everything, this would suggest theres enough of a growing confidence to allow some flights to resume.
I wouldn't be going to the airport though. It still remains an obvious target and they will need to manage those people there in case of that possibility of one of those 7% of attacks slipping through. Not to mention it'd be a prime target for other forms of possible retaliation, overcrowding issues and just general unhelpful chaos which will ultimately slow the process down.
It's definitely sounding a lot more promising than it was and yes there's a drip drip of information which sounds confident coming from pro Israel and US sources which wouldn't be happening if there wasn't a sense of yeah things are going the right way.
