iran uses advanced missiles to strike high-value israeli targets

headquarters reporter wei dongxu:iran launched about 200 missiles towards israel, including the relatively advanced "fatah" hypersonic missile. this missile has a range of more than 1,000 kilometers, and it should use a small engine or small wing that can control the flight trajectory.when a missile performs a dive attack on a target, its flight trajectory will suddenly change, which will catch the anti-missile system off guard.

headquarters reporter wei dongxu:iran used the "fatah" hypersonic missile to carry out key strikes against the israeli anti-missile system early warning radar. this is also a missile "combination punch" tactic.use hypersonic missiles with strong penetration capabilities to destroy the opponent's early warning system.this makes it impossible for the opponent's anti-missile interceptor missiles to accurately track the incoming targets flying in the air. in other words, it blinds the "strategic eye" of the opponent's anti-missile system. conventional ballistic missiles may follow closely behind, taking advantage of this numerical advantage to destroy more targets in a wider range.

the israeli military has strong air defense and anti-missile capabilities

headquarters reporter wei dongxu: although iran has launched about 200 missiles, only some of them have relatively advanced performance. israel's own air defense and anti-missile capabilities are relatively strong, and the united states is assisting it. for example, the "arleigh burke" class destroyers deployed in the mediterranean will provide anti-missile fire cover for israel's coastal areas and major coastal cities. . the u.s. military deployed in the middle east may also use the "patriot" system, including other air defense and anti-missile equipment, to conduct networked operations with israel's anti-missile system.
