Meltdown

Once a war begins and hostilities and the hard military options pan out, the other avenues of pursuing interests, ensuring stability while maintaining an order based on principles remains active. Wars, at least immediately, do not bring peace. Once war ensues, a ceasefire and cessation of hostilities is the best bet and the immediate goal. Conflict and war in middle-east Iran-Israel do not share a border but their broader and immediate Geo-strategic interests and positions cast them as arch enemies and they had exchanged fire twice last year.

The 1967 Arab-Israeli war lasted for 6 days and 1973 for 19 days, this round of conflict between Israel and Iran for 12 days. Emboldened by the success Israel has with Hezbollah and ongoing Gaza blockade,(tacit acceptance by world) Israel initiated a pl...

Empty shells may deflect or destroy their explosives at distances that are safe. You also do not want bigger explosions so empty shells are fine. Second, they will be cost effective. Easily deployable and available. They are usually used on ceremonial occasions and can be deployed tactically. Some adjustments with the range and you have some defence against them. A range of 1 to 15 km with Mortars, Howitzers, Field guns, Armoured vehicles( tanks), or Naval and anti-aircrafts guns is possible. ChatGPT lists propellant, design of the shell and environment as factors. The weight, shape and momentum of the projectile is the key. Proposition 2 : At very close distance use the rubber and pellet guns. They are also available and with modifications can certainly deflect their trajectory and balance...
