Quality over quantity.
Assuming the pattern holds, this is actually more concerning for Israel. Iran launching less missiles but still hitting the same amount of targets or even better ones means improvements in efficiency. Seeing how Iran is the bigger country, that means it more likely to go another 10 rounds while Israel is not.
I don't want to belittle the Iranian capability, BUT from the looks of things aside from 2 Chinese intelligence ship, the Chinese may have airlifted missile guidance like Beidou module and transmitter.
OR maybe advance EW
Recent claims suggest Chinese aircraft may have delivered electronic warfare (EW) systems to Iran. This is based on flight tracking images and social media posts, though official confirmation is lacking.
that the main airline involved is Cargolux, which is not Chinese.
Several X-accounts (formerly Twitter) have been circulating images of flight tracking data purportedly showing Chinese cargo planes landing in Iran. These claims coincide with the ongoing Israel-Iran conflict. While the specific nature of the cargo is not confirmed, the implication is that China is supplying Iran with EW technology.
It's important to note that these are unconfirmed claims, and the aircraft involved may be connected to other activities or simply be routine cargo flights. There's no official confirmation from China, Iran, or any other credible source about the delivery of EW systems.
China and Iran have a 25-year cooperation agreement, and China is a major importer of Iranian oil. This relationship could be a factor in the current situation, but it doesn't automatically confirm the delivery of EW systems.
