No wonder why Iran fired more than 300 missiles at Israel, but almost all of them were intercepted.

Revealing how the Israeli army and its allies do it Killed the drone and intercepted more than 300 Iranian missiles fired, up to 99%.

April 15, 2024 CNN news agency reported that the Israeli army revealed that Almost all of the 300-350 missiles and drones Iran has launched against Israel. It targeted military bases in the northeast and south of Israel in an unprecedented attack on Saturday evening, April 23. More than 99% of the missiles have been intercepted and shot down, with Israel emphasizing the formidable multi-layered missile defense system it employs.

Rear Admiral Daniel Hakari, an Israeli military spokesman, said that in total, Iran sent about 170 drones and fired more than 30 cruise missiles and more than 120 ballistic missiles at Israel overnight on Saturday. But most of the more than 350 Iranian munitions have been fired, most of which are believed to have been fired from within Iranian territory. During the five-hour attack, it was intercepted before reaching Israel. More than 1,770 kilometers from the launch, Israel and its allies have intercepted 99% of the Iranian missiles, with only a small number reaching Israel.

A senior US administration official said US President Joe Biden in a telephone conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described it as a victory for Israel. Because nothing important was attacked. More than 70 drones and three missiles were intercepted by US Navy ships. which is equipped with the Aegis missile defense system. In addition, US warplanes also shot down Iranian military equipment.

An Israeli military spokesman said: France was involved in helping to foil the Iranian attack. From close coordination with the United States and England, while the British Army stated that Ready to help support Israel using air force aircraft available in the Middle East region.

Meanwhile Israel uses various systems. to protect against attacks Since ballistic missiles are guided above the atmosphere. to low-flying missiles and rockets Israel's Iron Dome system has continued to work hard since the launch of its military offensive on Gaza in response to Hamas' October 7 attack on Israel, which sparked a war in the Middle East.

According to Israel's Missile Defense Organization (IMDO), the Iron Dome is the lowest layer of Israel's missile defense. In Israel there are batteries. At least 10 Iron Domes, each equipped with radar that detects rockets. It then uses a command and control system that quickly calculates whether incoming bullets pose a threat or are likely to hit uninhabited areas. If rockets pose a threat The Iron Dome will launch missiles from the ground to destroy them in the air.

The Israeli military also has the David's Sling (formerly Magic Wand) medium-range missile defense system, which protects against threats from short- and medium-range ballistic missiles. It is a joint project between Israel's Rafael Advanced Defense System and US defense giant Raytheon. It uses kinetic interceptor missiles called “Stunner” and SkyCeptor to eliminate targets 40-300 kilometers away.

The next level of attack offered by Davids Sling is the Israeli “Arrow 2” and “Arrow 3” systems developed in conjunction with the United States by Aero. W2 uses a fragmentation warhead to destroy final incoming missiles. While hurtling towards a target in the upper atmosphere, Arrow 3 uses interception technology to destroy missiles launched into space. outside the atmosphere The missiles are destroyed before they re-enter the atmosphere and reach their target. Israel also has state-of-the-art warplanes. This includes the “F-35I” stealth jet, which has previously been used to shoot down drones and cruise missiles.
