Salvo‑based firepower (torpedoes, carrier air wings, modern missiles) creates episodic windows where smaller or outnumbered forces can prevail if they achieve first effective attack. That means investments in ISR, resilient command‑and‑control, and salvo‑defeat systems matter as much as raw platform counts.
— This reframes defense policy and alliance planning: deterrence depends less on platform parity and more on denying opponents the scouting/C2 needed to launch or survive salvoes.

This article documents an operational missile (the Kheibar Shekan) whose terminal maneuverability and resistance to interception could alter the calculus of strike-and-defend operations in the region: the claim that it can 'maneuver in the terminal phase' and 'strike within 10 meters' maps directly onto the existing idea that novel missile salvo dynamics change balance and force posture for U.S. and allied naval/air bases.

Quote from the article: a weaker side “outnumbered by as much as two to one can win—if it employs better scouting and command‑and‑control that enable it to ‘attack effectively first.’”
