I wonder what happened to the Iranian air defenses. Have they been hacked or why they underperform against the zionist aggression...

Ahh, I have way too many questions.

Their most advanced air defence radars were already destroyed in previous Israeli attacks

S-300 radar vehicle hit during April

HAWK or S-300 air defence site in Tehran on fire during October:

Kahrizak air defense base on fire/explosion in Tehran during October, likely S-300 site

The Israelis were talking about doing this for over 6 months

Those weren't destroyed, they were only damaged. Most of the attack was drones, and most of the AD was on top of missile cities. It appears that Iranian AD was simply overwhelmed. But due to Fog of War, it is hard to know right now.

This was from April and October last year, not the current attack.

Yes, I am talking about that. Iran deterred the main attack and Israel went on a media rampage. We looked at the evidence and believe that brOSINT (aka CIA) is not correct in saying that the AD was downed.

In the current attack, allegedly the main AD force was on missile cities and the big bang attacks were all drones like Spiderweb

We will know in the future, but Israeli propaganda is strong

I was wondering about that as well. Could be that they've made interceptions, but this is just what got through. No AD system is perfect at the end of the day.
