It’s been a number of days now since Israel launched its shock assault on Iran.
The battle has since escalated with both sides launching dozens of strikes.
And since the warring sides don’t share a border, the assaults have largely been centered on air strikes.
Whereas Iran could have the most important inventory of missiles and drones within the Center East, Israel’s air pressure is taken into account some of the highly effective on this planet – and its air defence system, some of the superior.
And extra crucially, Israel has the backing of the US.
So is one army at a transparent benefit?
Will the size of the battle make a distinction?
And are there different components at play on this battle?
