Well, no, plenty of impacts:

 

Hoping nobody got hurt here, but that seems inevitable.

You remember when I kept banging on about Putin and in the months leading up, about Ukraine? This isnt the Siebel ferry monger you are talking to here mister!

Really? You mention Siebel ferries nearly every day.

And yes, I remember that was originally a Glenn thing. But how many years ago was that?

How many years ago was Kitsap County ex ARVN M47's, and we still indulge that as often as we can, Sport.

Its kind of like that British Cavalry Regiment that toasts the Tsar, that its an anachronism doesnt mean its not a pround tradition.

NYT is saying 100 or more, which is still much less than what was fired before but if there are multiple ground impacts, one of three choices:

1. Israelis jammed the missiles and they fell into open areas 

2. Iran purposely dropped it on open areas to send a warning to Israel

3. Iran struck actual targets and Israel failed to intercept

Fireball on the horizon in Tel Aviv, so it looks like a fuel farm got hit.

But they may also be missile fragments

Wouldn't they be flaming debris rather than glowing balls with impacts and flashes like warheads going high order? 

What's the apogee of the Iranian BMs? 

[Stuart Galbraith]

But as we saw in 1991, just because you kill the missile, doesn't necessarily mean you kill the warheads.

Do the Iranians use Decoys?

About 4 years ago I think.

I'm sorry Glenn, I was taking the piss. No offence intended.

They do use decoys, their medium range missiles are actually more advanced than Russian MRBMs at this point

Scuttio needs to channel Holliman and not Shaw. 

[Stuart Galbraith]

Cnn says it was 200 warheads.

I'm sure this is something of an exaggeration, but...

How many impacts, whether debris or warhead, etc etc, will all become clear once MDA release a statement on casualties.

So far only one casualty reported - a Palestinian in Jericho.

180 missiles launched, potentially 2nd wave soon. I'm interested in the response. This attack was seemingly unprovoked, so Israel has the casus belli to attack widely across Iran.

Might explain why there was so many objects, and so many leakers.

Does anyone get why I had a bad feeling now? I tell you, I have a psychic bladder.

Those seem to be significant ground explosions for missile fragments though. I can be wrong though

What you're seeing may be the remaining propellant burning.

[Stuart Galbraith]

Palestine can into Space!

btw if anyone thinks the terror attack in Tel Aviv where 6 were murdered is not connected to this - I have a bridge to sell you.

Those are waaay too many explosions for propellant burning…
