🇮🇱l🇮🇷 A western source with knowledge claims that unlike the April attack, this time Iran is expected to attack Israel only with ballistic missiles that reach Israel within 12 minutes and not with drones or cruise missiles that allow for much longer preparation time for defense and interception – Axios
This may severely diminish the US-led coalitions ability to help Israel as most of their help in April was to shoot down drones and cruise missiles using jets.
Only a few ballistic missiles were shot down by US Patriot battery in Iraq and Aegis-equipped ships in the Mediterranean, with Israel’s Arrow-2/3 air defences handing the vast majority.
Heavy stress may be placed on Israel’s Arrow-2 and Arrow-3 air defences as a result. – Elint on X
