Iran announced last night that it had launched its first airstrike since its diplomatic relations with Israel were again strained. Using ballistic missiles and kamikaze drones for the attack, Iran was intercepted by Israeli and Jordanian air defense systems. We answered the question “What are kamikaze drones and ballistic missiles?” for you.
Iran used kamikaze drones and ballistic missiles in Israel attack
According to some sources, Iran attacked Israel with 100 ballistic missiles, 30 cruise missiles and 160 kamikaze drones. Iran first attacked with cruise missiles and was caught in the Jordanian air defense system.
Ballistic missiles are known as military vehicles that carry fast, high-explosive payloads, usually towards long-range targets. However, ballistic missiles can often carry nuclear weapons and are also used for strategic strikes or as a deterrent.
The R&D and production of ballistic missiles is an important part of a country’s defense and security strategy as it requires a complex process. It should be noted that the technical characteristics of ballistic missiles, such as their range, time to reach the target and the amount of payload they carry, play a critical role in the assessment of military capabilities.
Iran used a Shahed 136S kamikaze drone and a Fattah ballistic missile during the attack. According to Israeli sources, 1 person was killed during the attack.
What is a kamikaze drone?
Kamikaze UAVs have a special technology that attacks the targets given to them by directing them directly and disappears after completing their mission.
Unlike conventional unmanned aerial vehicles, Kamikaze UAVs are designed for one-off missions. It should be noted that their high maneuverability and the ability to be directed directly at the target make kamikaze UAVs an effective combat tool.
