    Taking you at your word for this, let’s say Germany spends the 5 billion to send 300 of those to guard the pipeline. What good is that should Iran decide to use it’s IRBM stock or hypersonics like the Fattah 1? Drones are only 1 part of Iran’s offensive capability.

      It’s gas, so leaks are not a disaster. If they build the pipeline in segments, and several in parallel, then they can handle hits. 1 km pipeline can be rebuilt in a day.

      Fattah 1 is a problem. It’s supposed to cost $200,000. That’s 5,000 for a billion. I guess I was wrong and Qatar has a problem.
