Die israelische Luftwaffe schießt iranische Drohnen ab

Very professional the first 2 with minimal number of rounds.

Why arent we using Apache’s for defense of US bases?? was the plan to use up every patriot missile we had on the large surplus of one way drones Iran has been stockpiling? just seeing sooo much loss in cost per munition with every one way attack drone interception…

I guess the friendly fire incidents might answer my question on why heli’s arent being used for intercepts… but that just seems like poor planning if we can’t even use our cheaper anti shahed firepower due to FF / poor planning and communication with allied AA batteries.

also, what about our humvee mounted „vampire“ systems?! havent those missiles proved to be VERY useful in Ukraine against 136’s? and they cost MUCH less than a shahed. it’s just crazy to me that our attack heli’s, prototype lasers, and even Andruil roadrunner or generic interceptor drones werent sent as backup / for field testing.

EDIT: To the ppl who are saying Patriot isn’t being used against Shahed’s. Here’s a [video of 2 intercepts](https://www.reddit.com/r/kurdistan/comments/1rk0wma/footage_shows_united_states_armed_forces_shooting/), and here is Zelensky’s msg today, [confirming that the US is using A LOT of Patriot on one way attack drones](https://www.reddit.com/r/UkraineWarVideoReport/comments/1rjkat0/president_zelenskyy_middle_eastern_partners_will/). He also [offers trading THEIR cheaper / battle tested interceptor drones for more PAC-3 supply](https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2026/03/03/8023697/).

First two seemed very efficient

I know a couple words of Hebrew from work exchanges but would I be wrong that they’re checking in with command to make sure it’s not one of their drones?

Does the apache chain fun have a proximity fuse round? If not it needs one for this job
