The Number of Missiles and Launchers Remaining in Iran
Joint IDF and U.S. strikes have reportedly destroyed or disabled two-thirds of Iran's ballistic missile launchers, leaving the regime with approximately 160 active units despite a remaining stockpile of 1,500 missiles.
During a situational assessment held this morning (Wednesday) led by Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir, dramatic data was revealed regarding the success of the joint Israeli and United States strikes as part of Operation Roaring Lion. According to a report on the 'Walla' website, after ten days of fighting, it appears the strategy to neutralize the Iranian threat is achieving significant success.
The data shows that following a broad and systematic offensive by the Air Force, guided by Intelligence (Aman) and in close cooperation with the U.S. military, Iran currently possesses only about one-third of the ballistic launchers it had on the eve of the campaign.
According to the report, at the start of the campaign, the Revolutionary Guard held over 500 ballistic missile launchers (both mobile and stationary), scattered throughout Iran with an emphasis on its western portion—the area aimed directly at the Israeli home front.
Now, the situational picture has completely changed:
* One-third of the arsenal was completely destroyed in direct strikes.
* Another third malfunctioned, meaning that they were put out of use and it will be impossible to restore them in the near future.
* The Bottom Line: According to estimates, the Iranians have only about 160 active launchers remaining.
Despite the severe blow to the launch capability, the IDF clarifies that the work is not yet complete. According to military data, the Ayatollah regime still possesses about 1,500 ballistic missiles of various types. However, without an available and functioning launcher array, Iran's ability to carry out the massive volleys it originally planned has been fatally impaired.
