Propaganda from Iranian military: Details of the enemy's morning operations

● 84 missiles were fired towards Iran, mostly Black Sparrow missiles.

● 78 missiles were destroyed, of which 68 were outside Iran's borders and 10 were in Iran's skies.

● Out of this number, 54 missiles were destroyed in the sky of #Iraq. 3 missiles were also destroyed by our country's long-range defense in #Dohuk, the northernmost province of Iraq.

● The role of the indigenous systems of our country, especially Bawar 373, was impressive in this regard.

● Also, the defense sites of Ilam, #Dezful and #Arak, along with the defense of #Mahshahr and #Tehran, played an extremely sensitive role.

● The presence of small birds has been almost entirely in Tehran.

● Hitting 6 projectiles in the #military possibility is certain, but some of them are minor damages. Because some of the hits were not accurate until the last moment due to the clash of the #defense. "Like s300 around Behesht Zahra"

جزئیات عملیات بامدادیِ دشمن

● 84 موشک به سمت ایران شلیک شد که اکثراً موشک‌های بلک اسپارو بودند.

● 78 موشک منهدم شد که 68 تا در خارج از مرزهای ایران و 10 موشک در آسمان ایران بود.

● از این تعداد، 54 موشک در آسمان عراق منهدم شد. 3 موشک نیز توسط پدافند برد بلند کشورمان در دهوک «شمالی ترین استان عراق» منهدم شد.

● نقش سامانه‌های بومی کشورمان مخصوصاً باور 373 در این زمینه چشمگیر بود.

● همچنین، سایت‌های پدافندی ایلام، دزفول و اراک در کنار جانفشانی پدافند ماهشهر و تهران، نقش فوق‌العاده حساسی داشتند.

● حضور ریز پرنده‌ها، تقریباً به طور کامل در تهران بوده است.

● اصابت 6 پرتابه در امکان نظامی، قطعی است.اما برخی از انها آسیب‌ها جزئی است. زیرا برخی پرتاب‌های اصابت کرده نیز به دلیل درگیری پدافند تا لحظه‌ی آخر، اصابت دقیق نداشتند. «مانند s300 در اطراف بهشت زهرا»

There is a very large number of Fighter Jets and refueling planes in the skies of #Palestine, on their way to Iran.

The strikes heard in #Iran seem to be initial, it seems that the IDF was testing Iran's Air-Defenses before launching its main attack, or perhaps targeting Air-Defense assets.

Full #IDF statement:
- The IDF is currently attacking military targets in Iran in a targeted manner in response to the Iranian regime's ongoing attacks against the State of Israel over the past few months.

  • The IDF is on alert offensively and defensively as we monitor developments from Iran and its proxies.

  • The IDF is constantly assessing the situation and at this stage there has been no change in the Home Front Command's instructions.

  • We must continue to be vigilant and obey the Home Front Command's instructions so that we can update the public immediately on any new developments.

Israeli military is jamming the #GPS over Tel Aviv to prevent sworm of drones launched from Lebanon to reach their targets.

The whole city is in total alert. According to eyewitness reports multiple missiles and drones have bypassed the Israeli defense and hit their targes.

IDF have sent total gag order over any image or video shared on social media about the attacks. With punishment of up to 15 years jail time for those who break the rules.

#US #military official to Al Jazeera: #THAAD missile defense system will be ready to operate in #Israel this week.

It's unbelievable that they are willing to send multi billion dollar system to protect Israel's "right" to commit #genocide and ravage #Lebanon, #Syria, #Yemen and as they are planning, #Iran.

#GenocideJoe hasn't lifted a finger saving the lives of millions suffering an unimaginable magnitude while being bombed, starved and dehimanized.

They didn't hesitate sending these and 100s of americn soldiers to protect Israel's right to commit genocide

The cost of a THAAD system without a radar is approximately $2.3 billion. According to another source, a THAAD complex is estimated to cost around $3 billion. The AN/TPY-2 radar costs $574 million.

In 2011, 22 missiles were purchased for $1 billion, in 2012 - 42 missiles for $999 million, and in 2013 it was planned to purchase 36 missiles for $777 million (for the US). R&D is estimated to cost around $15 billion. The history of THAAD began with R&D in 1992 by Lockheed (now Lockheed-Martin). In early 1995, prototypes of launchers, GBR-T radar and command post were deployed at a test site in New Mexico.

PS. Current price of the systems are significantly higher and it's almost impossible to find accurate information about it (with my limited search).

Opinion: AI complacency is compromising Western defense

While #Russian, #Chinese, and #Iranian drones are easy to destroy using existing Western systems, the costs are prohibitive – ranging from $100,000 to $3 million per target. This unsustainable ratio is the result of decades of complacency and bureaucratic inefficiency.

No legacy Western contractor produces a cost-competitive anti-drone system – though several U.S. and Ukrainian startups are developing them now.

#Hezbollah successful attacked, damaged one of israelis most advanced radar sustem of the air defense installation at #Nimra #military base on northern #Israel

This is the biggest strategic blow to Israeli air defense and the military as none of the drones/missiles that hit the multi million dollar surveillance system were detected or intercepted by Iron dome or Arrow air defense systems.

This is the 3rd strategic site that Hezbollah have managed to damage in the past few months.

The extent of the damage is unknown but the iron dome in northern Israel seems to be completely out of service.

Israeli media accidentally shared an image of the Meron military airbase after previous attack, before they removed the image from their site (of was downloaded and shared by many people online)..

Hezb-Allah confirmed that they downed another Israeli Hermes 900 drone. The Israeli regime has admited that their drone was downed.

It is the first time in almost half a decade, Israel is facing a resistance with ability to fight back and defend themselves against their overwhelming air superiority. It is funny that Hewzbollah have shot

Russia destroyed Kyiv Oblast power plant after Ukraine ran out of air defense missiles

#Trypillia TPP was completely destroyed in a Russian strike on Ukrainian energy infrastructure on April 11, leading to the 100% loss of #Centrenergo's generating capacity.

Russia launched 11 missiles in the direction of the plant, according to Zelensky. Ukraine was able to shoot down the first seven, and four "destroyed Trypillia."

"Why? Because there were zero #missiles. We ran out of all the missiles that protected the Trypillia TPP,"

This is the first time, I have seen an ICBM dodge one of the most advanced air defense system in the world, in real time!

Video Shared on Telegram: https://t.me/newsvideofa/1887

An Iranian missile carries out a maneuver to change its flight path to evade the IDF's advanced "David's Sling" air defense system, from the barrage earlier tonight.

Iranian missiles also deployed decoy bomblets to trick Israeli air defense systems and did not rely on GPS navigation, showcasing the preparedness and planning that went into the first stage of the complex operation.

Rebuilding Kyiv Oblast power plant possible but 'futile' without air defense

The Trypillia Thermal Power Plant was completely destroyed in a Russian attack on Ukrainian energy infrastructure on April 11, leading to the total loss of #Centrenergo's generating capacity.

The Russian strike led to a large-scale fire in the turbine house of the plant. All of the plant's workers who were on the shift during the attack survived.

"We can restore everything," Hota said, but this will require the help of international partners, as equipment like turbines or transformers come from European countries.

"But without a sufficient number of missiles for anti-aircraft defense, it will, to put it mildly, be a futile affair," Hota added.

Iranian military sources reporting that Iranian military and IRGC have deployed several Nour (renamed from Khordad-15) with ComandCintril 2031-1 domestic designed and produced air defense system each capable of carry 10 SAMs and launch 8 simultaneously against 4 targets.

This is the first large scale use of the Iranian copy of Russian S-200 air defense system with an upgraded electronic command center and anti jam radar units (IRGC claims).

The units are all parts of the largest military exercise planned to be happening tomorrow or the next day.

Ukraine needs 25 Patriot air defense systems to cover the country

"I will not tell you how many #Patriot systems we have. I can say that to cover Ukraine completely in the future, it is preferable to have 25 Patriot systems, with 6-8 batteries each," Zelensky said.

"Ukraine knows for sure how much it needs to repel the #Russian Federation's attacks," he said.
