Never thought about this before, but if China was going to start shit they're getting a really good look at US capabilities right now with little risk other than market disruption.

This is nothing new, mapping out radars and intercept infra in advance, plus overwhelming the response ability, depleting interceptor stock with cheap rockets and drones is basic modern warfare, just as in NATO-Russia war.

Good, we deserve an equivalent response. The bullies need humbled.
It seams like the US isn't interested in winning wars, they just like starting them and then extending them for as long as possible.

Call me crazy but maybe it was just a test if Iran have those missiles they claim they have.
Iran claims to have operational hypersonic missiles (Fattah-1, Khorramshahr-4) capable of Mach 15.

This is 18376 km / h flying on < 100km orbit. You need some kind of radar mesh to detect that but even if you have one there is probably 1 minute left for reaction. Only skynet level defense can do it.

The US uses its operations to test out kit as well. Desert Storm was especially useful in that regard as there was plenty of time in the build up. Could it be the pesky Chinese and Russians are doing the same. Uncle Sam may come away with a bloody nose unless this is resolved quickly.
