Israel will have a problem with the interceptor missile stock if Iran keeps this tempo. Replacing Arrow missiles is not easy. I expect a big op from Israel to reduce Iranian missile stocks and production capability. This exchange is not favorable for Israel.
TELs are important, but one side of the coin. I haven't seen any massive explosion of Iranian missile stockpiles.Israel has already taken out a lot of TELs in Iran, and is taking out more every day

If Iran can secure Chinese help with production, Iran can outproduce Israel massively. The production of high-tech interceptor missiles, such as Arrow, is challenging. Even the US has problems producing those missiles. The US can produce 500 PAC-3s per year, which have poor reliability intercepting MRBMs. THAAD production is a joke. Since the production started, a total of rougly 800 THAAD missiles are produced. Arrow numbers are not good either. Iran has a production rate of 50 MRBMs per month, and probably at most 100 SRBMs. China trades raw materials used in the production of Iranian ballistic missiles. Smart people deduced those numbers by looking at that trade. It doesn't seem like Israel put a heavy pressure on Iranian ballistic missile production capability. On the contrary, Israel chose to target mobile TELs to reduce the salvo firing capacity of Iran, and Iranian underground bases have a limited amount of salvo launching capability. I wonder how long it takes to load another missile to a TEL or underground silo and launch again.Doesn't this become unsustainable long-term for Israel, what with constant need for 1500 km fighter flights and replenishing air defense systems? Wouldn't Iran just produce them faster than they can replenish?
No. There is nothing massive and crippling as of today.huh? Israel was literally bombing Iranian stockpiles and manufacturing sites in the first day
and even the scientific centers of research responsible for development of these missiles
No, this is not where you store your ballistic missiles.Israel hit the major missile base by Tabriz, which caused massive secondary explosions, what are you even talking about?

Starting what? We know that PKK sides with Israel, but I am not sure about the others.PJAK/PKK/YPG forces might start something in Iran. There is activity.
