I want Iron Beam too. C'mon, Israel and space lasers! Let's get Cold War on Putler's ass too. We'll see his T62s and raise him those Israeli souped up Super Phantoms.

I think anything that's defensive would be palatable to the more squeamish Israeli hawk (there are no doves). So, forget my suicide drones, but anything that could shoot down Russian missiles and drones OVER the territory of Ukraine should be diplomatically acceptable. Israel ambassador to Moscow foreign office.... "um, metumtam, if you don't want our systems to engage Russian systems, then keep your systems in Russia, "

To me about as reassuring as Putin's many statements in early Feb that he was not going to attack Ukraine.

Looks like it's a bad time to be a recruiting officer in Russia.

Rather than ABM systems, the best way to kill these Iranian suicide drones might be C-RAM.

It might time to slap sanctions on Tehran similar to the ones on Russia. If the Supreme Terrorist wants to supply the Kremlin Terrorist, cut him off at the knees economically.

Iran already has TIGHT sanctions on it.
The Europeans have eased some since 2014, but they've replaced blanket sanctions with more targeted ones in the last few years. They just announced another targeted round this month.
The US exited the JPOA/JCPOA in May 2018 and the Trump Administration re-upped a lot of the earlier (Obama & Bush era) sanctions. Even before this, there was WAY too much uncertainty and lingering restrictions - particularly for export certificates - for US firms to do substantial business with Iran. In 2015, I helped with due diligence for a civil aerospace deal potentially worth 10s of billions of $. This never went through, because even then the big US banks and insurers were (rightly) nervous that a change of US government in 2016 would meant that sanctions would be re-imposed.

I think we're already been trying that since we've walked away from JCPOA.

The US, Britain and France seem to be lining up to levy more sanctions on Tehran due to the sale of drones to Russia. It remains to be seen how deeply/broadly any new sanctions impact the Iranian economy.

Indeed, over 4k rpm. And since it only takes one or two 20mm hits at 1k mps to kill one of these drones, the overkill rate must be massive. There needs to be a more accurate means to get relatively low cost drone kills.
The most effective might be semiautonomous interceptor drones on constant patrol.

Have sanctions ever worked, maybe South Africa? While screwing up the availability of some arms, sanctions otherwise don't seem to have any impact on Russia's decisions. The best path with Iran is to seize upon the current uprising to pursue regime change. That might end up with someone worse, but the ensuing chaos would at least temporarily disrupt Iran's foreign endeavours.

One of the reasons we're dealing with such an obnoxious government in Iran is because of the 1953 regime change we Americans and Brits forced upon them.
