The U.S. SM-3 interceptors, launched from Arleigh Burke destroyers, are key to defending against missiles targeting Israel. They strike ballistic missiles in the midcourse phase—outside the atmosphere—at altitudes up to 250 km and speeds of Mach 13, with a range of 500-1,200 km.

A thread by Cario X on the early warning systems that Israel is helped with to know in advance about any ballistic missile launch

Turkiye has a secretive U.S.-operated AN/TPY-2 radar site at (38°20'57"N 37°47'36"E) referred to as “Site K” that provides early warning, detection, and tracking, of Iran’s ballistic missiles to Israeli-U.S.-U.K. forces in the Middle East 🛰️

🇺🇸 The U.S. has AN/TPY-2 ballistic missile early warning radars in Turkiye, Israel, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia, all of which are focused on Iran’s ballistic missile forces.

The UAE is also an operator of the system, though it’s linked to the UAE-manned THAAD batteries (they have two), and Bahrain has its own AN/TPS-59 systems in its own military that also assist in detecting & tracking Iran’s ballistic missiles

🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia has a U.S.-manned AN/TPY-2 radar site here at (24°04'26"N 47°40'56"E) that has actively assisted in U.S.-U.K. & Israeli defense efforts against Iran’s ballistic missile waves in April 2024, October 2024, and over the last few days…

🇶🇦 Qatar has a U.S.-operated AN/TPY-2 site here at (24°30'39"N 51°08'00"E) that’s been heavily involved in U.S.-U.K. efforts in defending Israel against Iranian ballistic missiles.

What's phenomenal is that Israel had an unprecedented initial success at first, and caused a blow to Iran.

Yet, the U.S. still thinks they need to join and attack in support of Israel.

If they do, and if Iran id affected, I hope the Iranians tell the Arabs who are helping the U.S if we die you die, if our oil is damaged your oil will be damaged.

Tell them, if we have no peace you will not have stability, and the U.S. bases in your lands are legitimate targets

We are beyond accepting any remaining redlines.

Our Iraqi brothers are launching drones also in silence. Smart and effective.

Engages the Israeli AD a little and at the same time avoid any backlash

As for Hezbullah, it's the best to stay aside. Our war is devastating and we need time to regain shape and ability.

Survivability needs wisdom

📹 The moment Wizzman institute was attacked

The Iranians got the legitimacy to attack anything in Israel after Israel attacked Iranian civilians, researcher, military leadership and civilian infrastructure

❗️IDF issues some sort of evacuation order in a similar tactics to Lebanon and Syria

"All individuals currently present or expected to be present in or around military weapons manufacturing facilities and their supporting institutions must immediately evacuate these areas and not return until further notice," the IDF's Arabic-language spokesman Col. Avichay Adraee, says on X.

"Being near these facilities puts your life at risk," he adds.

✍ They said so after they killed about 100 innocent Iranian civilian? Telling this to a state whose bases are not in the cities around civilians

Pathetic and cheap

🇮🇷l🇮🇱 About 80 ballistic missiles were fired yesterday by Iran in two waves.

The U.S. played a very active role in interceptions.

The Jewish homefront command estimates it needs a full day to scan all the impact zones and damages.

About 200 Israelis were injured and 11 killed, some 5 (family) in Tamara ("Arabs") and at least 6 Jews near Weizzman.

✍ For me, I don't consider Arabs in Israel as collectively Arab, Muslim, or Palestinian.

I thought you claimed what you did to Gaza was moral??

— 🇮🇷/🇮🇱 NEW: Satellite imagery shows Israel used bunker busters on most of the hardened hangars at Hamadan Shekari Airbase

Fortunately, most of the fighters stationed here received an evacuation order with a pre-approved plan, and left to a secure location before the strikes, saving almost all of the jets.
