Show HN: I simulated 1200 Iranian missiles attacking air defences in a browser

I've built airdefense.dev, which is able to simulate all kinds of ballistic missiles, one-way-attack drones like Shaheds, and most of the commonly deploy anti-air defence systems. All of this inside the browser. I've now added a scenario of the current attacks in the Middle East by Iran. It was quite the challenge to optimize it enough to not completely kill a common laptop, although it still runs best on a bit beefier systems.

Might want to work on it a bit more, it completely killed my MacBook Air! :')

Anyway, a really cool app!

I thought the map view was cool, but maybe not optimal to simulate hundreds of missiles and drones at the same time.
