RT COKE❄️ (@0xcoked)The real reason this is happening is because Iran has successfully taken out all the 4 X-band radars across the middle east -- these cost billions of dollars, decades to build, and are irreplaceable at current procurement rates. X-band radars are CRITICAL for detecting incoming missile-strikes from a long-range, but more importantly: FOR DISCRIMINATING BETWEEN ACTUAL MISSILE WARHEADS, CHAFF, SUBMUNITIONS, BOOSTER STAGES, OR OTHER MISCELLANEOUS DEBRIS.Without this, the ENTIRE missile defe ...

Given the importance of interceptors for protecting civilians and critical infrastructure, their availability is a key factor in how long the war with Iran can last https://t.co/ZjqCtUImoi ...

As the conflict in the Middle East drags on, it is becoming a question of who runs out first: Iran of ballistic missiles, or its adversaries of interceptors https://t.co/p3BJDkXKEKPhoto: Amit Elkayam/New York Times/Redux/Eyevine https://t.co/ngxaePN8w4 ...

For countries in the Gulf, production of interceptors is being ramped up. Yet in the immediate future that will not help https://t.co/ORHiTVhMBK ...

In response to attack by ballistic missiles, Gulf commanders tend to fire at least two interceptors to maximise their chance of success. Ukrainians have to be more frugal https://t.co/7cujwCPDCF ...

How fast are Gulf countries and America running through their interceptor stocks? And how does their use compare with Ukraine’s? https://t.co/aD1ovB7YJ4 ...

RT Patricia Marins (@pati_marins64)Improvement in Iranian MissilesNotice in this image how the Iranian missile makes a sharp maneuver, evading two Patriot PAC-2 variants.The interceptors then adjust course, reprogramming for interception, and detonate. After the detonations, observe that the missile begins burning poorly, indicating it was likely hit in some way, possibly in the exit cone (nozzle).However, due to an enhancement I've observed, it seems critical parts of modern Iranian missiles have received ...

Waves of Russian kamikaze drones are starting to overwhelm Ukraine’s defences. The most promising solution is cheap interceptors. But they are no silver bullet, says one expert https://t.co/GtP2roQxzp ...
