From the moment they fired off their ballistic missiles, our satellites saw the exhaust plume.
We tracked them, knew exactly where they would land...they are ballistic with very little guidance on board.
Our troops were never in any real danger. We shot most of them out of the sky before impact.
The rest were left to fall on vacant land, that way they didn't know our capabilities.
TR-3B probably signed another Q around their launch facilities.
Iran got to save face, we get to negotiate peace. Win/win in my book.

Those have low effectiveness, and also weren't used in this case.
