Israel's Defenses Prove Formidable Against Iranian Missile and Drone Barrage

Israel's air defense systems were put to the test as Iran launched a massive attack involving over 300 missiles and drones. Despite this significant escalation, Israel reports a high success rate in intercepting the incoming threats.

The barrage included 185 drones, 36 cruise missiles, and 110 ballistic missiles. Israel's advanced defense network successfully neutralized all drones and all cruise missiles, demonstrating its technological prowess in countering these types of attacks.

However, seven out of the 110 ballistic missiles reportedly reached their targets. While this highlights the challenge of intercepting these fast-moving projectiles, Israel's overall interception rate remains impressive.

Defense Systems Under Scrutiny​

The recent attack has inevitably placed Israel's defense capabilities under close international scrutiny. The high success rate in intercepting drones and cruise missiles reinforces Israel's reputation for advanced air defense technologies.

The partial success against ballistic missiles underscores the ongoing challenges in this area and points to the need for continuous investment and development of countermeasures.

Regional Tensions Remain High​

This significant escalation between Iran and Israel highlights the volatile situation in the Middle East.

The incident raises concerns about further retaliatory actions and a potential widening of the conflict, with experts and world leaders monitoring the situation closely.

That's great news for India. We can work together with Israel to make India safer.

You do know this is first time any significant attack ever occured against any western country or Israel, and it is first time Biden"imp0tent" Potus does not want to retaliate. Israel hardly handles Hamas, and failed to get hostages, and if no response then big failure. So, worst news a state actor dares to challenge Israel.

This is because the US, UK, Saudi Arabia & Jordan all have deployed their Air Defence assets in the Area & played a important role in nullifying the attacks. It was not Israel alone. Please get the facts in place before reporting mindlessly. Also Iran gave lot of time to these forces to prepare & there was no element of Surprise

Hope Indian Defence Planners are observing & strategizing accordingly for the same as no country will come to help India in case of such saturation attacks

Exactly the policy China uses! Their weapon quality are bad but the quantity gives them the advantage.

Israel is the size of Cricket stadium, they have 4 different missile defense system types in 100’s covering the entire Country, Arrow, David Sling, Iron Dome, Patriot and may be even Nasams, so it is easy to defend, for a Country with the size of India it is nard to defend.

This proves drones complete failure against powerful air defence systems. And cruise missiles also shot down easily by typhoon and other fighter jets. So subsonic cruise missile development will not help much against China. we need to concentrate on hypersonic missile development that may have counter measures against air defence missiles and maneuver to evade air defence systems.

Because Russia said it will join IRAN in retaliation, then it is WW3, so countries will try to avoid that situation.

Iran says to Israel stop your war in Gaza first, then they will quit. So, this will not end easily it will escalate, and Israel is not technologically superior any more. China and Russia are backing Iran.

India needs learn both offense and defense. China and Pakistani planners are targeting Delhi and other major cities. But we have more distence to give better layered protection, but our procurement is weak. We might have technology but we lack numbers. Numbers of air defense missile should be in lakhs. We might have thousand that would not last a few days. We lack surge ability to produce these items.

Second we are still new to drone warfare and lack sysem to cover entire areas, further lack of cruise missile Quantity. We need pralay, swarm drones, rockets, shaurya, and needs mass production.

Out of 300, majority were decoys. Then remove all the lies and propaganda. Then calculate the success rate

 

[Francis BOjeba]

ISREAL has a great and battle hardened versatile defensive systems to be able to contain the horde of Iranian attack on it's territory!
The ones that were able to get through this impenetrable defense network, also portrayed its vulnerability in the loop holes of their defense capabilities!
If Iran had concluded it's revenge saga of " true promise"; will the slumber upon it assured of Iran peace intention?
Or, if ISREAL COUNTER-STRIKE the Iran territory; will the Iranians sleep on it in a TIT-FOR-TAT game of strike and counter attack strike?
The world is watching the development of the very scenario!
"Man is born unto trouble , like the sparks that fly upwards! Only the God of Heaven delivereth him from them all".

What a great shame that most didn’t hit Israel
It would have taught the Jews a lesson
No I am not a muzzzie

It is astonishing the numbers of missiles and drones that Iran was able to fire at Israel over a brief period of time. Compare this with the much lower numbers that our defence establishment is prone to order for our forces. There is an urgent lesson for us to be learnt from this attack.
