That might be true, but look at how hyped Israel’s Iron Dome has been as being so “amazing.” And yet Yemen continues to make it through time and time again. Not to mention Hezbollah’s many successful incursions with their recon drones and missiles hitting many of their targets. Hell, even the USA took some bad hits when dealing with resistance fighters in Afghanistan and Iraq. All the expensive tech is so focused on dealing with opponents that are also using it. Or at least pitched as important because of “the future of war that will be fought” and just seems to make mad profits for private corps and capitalists.
Are the systems impressive in fucked up scary ways? Yes, but it gives false senses of “safety” and allows for underestimating nations and fighters that are seen as “backwards” from a tech standpoint. That underestimating and hubris has caused many nations throughout history to lose. Of course it doesn’t negate that it is kind of shocking that Iran hasn’t found creative ways to better deal with these attacks. Though it does give them every green light to hit back as hard as they want/can.
True, I ended up listening to some tracks and bought two of their albums. Their response to being dropped from their agency and the attempts to smear them was awesome. Even if the “news” outlets want to focus on the video of the chant at the show. It means they have to show the footage with all the Palestine flags and the banner on the stage behind the group. Still isn’t those outlets admitting that the genocide is happening. But still keeps Palestine in the “news” in even a small way. For their efforts to keep Palestine talked about at their own threat to gigs and being dropped from their agency. I hope that their music is listened to by more people than would have known about them otherwise.
