Middle east conflict and war between Iran and Israel

Hargiesa (Hornpost) when a ballistic missile is launched from Isfahan, Iran, toward Israel, it encounters some of the strongest and most advanced defense lawyers in the world.

First, it faces the American forces stationed in Iraq, French Rafale fighter jets deployed in the UAE (with Saudi Arabia allowing them to use its airspace), and American aircraft carriers like the USS Carl Vinson and cutting-edge missile destroyers patrolling the Gulf.

If the missile manages to get past all of these defenses, it then faces the Jordanian Air Force, American troops based in Jordan, and British Royal Air Force Typhoon and F-35 fighter jets flying from Cyprus.

After all this, Israel’s air defense system Arrow-3 attempts to intercept the missile from as far as 2,000 kilometers away—while it is still in space. If that fails, the Arrow-2 missile system tries to shoot it down while it is re-entering the atmosphere, between 1,500 and 500 kilometers from its target.

If the missile evades these as well, the David’s Sling system chases it from a range of 300 kilometers down to 40 kilometers.

If it still survives, then finally it faces the Iron Dome, which attempts to intercept it within a range of 70 to 4 kilometers.

Think about it—does any other country’s missile in the world face so many obstacles and layers of security before reaching its target?

And the noteworthy part is that these Iranian ballistic missiles are entirely indigenously developed, while stopping them requires the use of the most advanced and expensive technologies from the U.S., France, the U.K., and Israel.

Despite such immense and complex defenses, Iranian missiles still sometimes manage to permeate through and hit their targets.

And this is considered Iran’s biggest success in this war.
