The recent actions by Mossad have shown the need to review an entire doctrine of protective perimeter security around radars and launchers, establishing a prohibited radius of several kilometers under constant ground patrol and anti-drone systems. Yes, we are talking about a modernization of the Western air defense doctrine utilized by countries in the region, including Saudi Arabia.
The operational model executed by Mossad could potentially be explored in other conflicts by other intelligence agencies, mercenaries, and guerrilla groups.
What I find bizarre is the way they portray the events in Ukraine and now Israel.
First it was Ukraine that used civilian trucks armed with drones to kill the Russian bomber fleet in an asymmetric action that makes the nature of the war more complicated.
Then it was Israel using the same tactic employed against Iran to destroy radars and mobile missile launchers, yet it is the West that needs a doctrinal overhaul because its enemies can use this as a tool in war, while the collective West is using these same asymmetric tactics against its enemies.
Those who need a modernization in air defense doctrine are the enemies of the collective West, because it is quite clear who is trying to change the nature of conventional warfare, moving away from conventional and making it more asymmetric.
