Alguns números para compreender o que é «guerra assimétrica»:
Iranian drones cost less than $50,000 to build and deploy. Yet they are taking down multi-billion-dollar fixed assets all across the Persian Gulf.
Just a few examples: Bahrain's sole oil refinery, previously running over 400,000 bpd; the largest Mideast refinery, in the UAE, with capacity of over 900,000 bpd; the world's busiest international airport; the American embassy and consulate in Iraq.
Warfighters in Washington and Tel Aviv insist that the war against Iran, measured conventionally, is already over. Iran's navy, air defenses, and air force have been decimated.
But low-cost drones and missiles can be deployed from anywhere, and launched at anything. High-value fixed assets are vulnerable, and for the first time in history the cost of defense is orders of magnitude greater than for attacking forces.
