I welcome Colonel Jeff McCaus and the United States Army Retired Artillery Man,

CBS News visiting Professor Dickinson College, CEO Diamond Six, leadership and strategy.

The attack on Israel, on Bethlehem, on Jerusalem, on the holy land on Tel Aviv.

As it turned a page, Jeff, I report to you that I was surprised.

And I watched it in slow motion because those drones took four hours to get there.

A colleague of mine reports to me that he took his family to the shelter. He's in Jerusalem and he

went up on his balcony and waited. And then the sirens went off and then we saw the

light show above. Is this the future, Jeff? Did we just walk

into an alternative reality that is worse than we imagine? Good evening to you.

Good to you. It may well be the future, but certainly we've already seen it in recent past, and that is in many ways it's attacked by Iran upon Israel is not terribly

dissimilar than the attacks we've seen by the Russians against Ukraine and their

efforts to refine their employment of three different types of weapon systems, slow moving

drones, ballistic missiles moving rapidly, and cruise missiles moving somewhere in between

those.

And they're using those particular capabilities to try to neutralize air defense networks

to facilitate the arrival of the ballistic missiles in particular.

But the large number of those also could have been attended perhaps try to numerically overcome the defenses

That has brought about of course as well typically on the drone side by the relatively inexpensive cost of the drone

and as a consequence the ability of countries now and in future

to use more and more of these particular weapons systems in one single attack.

The attack itself was not successful in that it didn't kill anybody, didn't take any buildings down.

But we're told there were even more missiles launched and that many of them failed.
