It’s been a number of days now since Israel launched its shock assault on Iran.
The battle has since escalated with all 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 biggest inventory of missiles and drones within the Center East, Israel’s air power is taken into account some of the highly effective on the planet – and its air defence system, some of the superior.
And extra crucially, Israel has the backing of america.
So is one army at a transparent benefit?
Will the size of the battle make a distinction?
And are there different elements at play on this battle?
