The U.S. has an advanced AN/TPY-2 X-band radar stationed at Har Qeren, in the Negev desert. Its mission is to detect Iranian missile launches, and pass targeting data to Israeli Arrow and David’s Sling and U.S. THAAD ABM batteries deployed to protect sensitive Israeli sites, including Dimona and the Nevatim and Ramon air bases. Iranian missiles struck both Nevatim and Ramon air bases. The best surveillance radar in the world, working in concert with the most sophisticated anti-missile defenses in the world, were impotent in the face of the Iranian attack. For all those trying to spin yesterday’s events as an Israeli victory, chew on that fact: The best missile defense system in the world could not protect the sites they were tasked with protecting from attacks by Iranian missiles. Who has deterrence supremacy? It ain’t Israel.
The next time Iran attacks the Ramon air base, it will be with 57 ballistic missiles, not just 7 like yesterday It was a merciful slap in the face, intended only to demonstrate capability, which it clearly did, & was not a determined effort to destroy it utterly, which would have ignited an all-out war Yesterday's strike was 100% orchestrated for Biden's eyes & it was a smashing IRGC success, for Biden has since told Bibi the US would not take offensive actions vs Iran...
@RealScottRitter 🇮🇷/🇮🇱 NEW: The heaviest damage of Iran's ballistic missile attack occurred on a secret intelligence base in the Golan Heights, for which the IDF has imposed a media ban, so the damage cannot be assessed – Hebrew Sources
@RealScottRitter Iran precisely hit their runway, proving to Israel that they can shut them down That scares Israel They can shoot down all the drones they want, that Missile was meant to hit - and it did
Despite the advanced technology and strategic positioning, this post claims that the missile defense system was unable to protect Nevatim and Ramon air bases from Iranian missile strikes, questioning the deterrence supremacy in the region. The post suggests that the failure to protect these sites from the attacks could indicate a shift in the balance of power.
@RealScottRitter Looks like the dumpsters they had on base
@RealScottRitter Top quality equipment that industry in the US can supply, manned by the best US operators and paired with the best air defense and missile defense that can be found in the West, still couldn't prevent Iranian missiles from hitting the bases that are under their umbrella.
@RealScottRitter Will Israel retaliate and hit Iran? Here is everything we know that happened last night with the Iranian Strikes Follow me for news like this x.com/mrbarnicoat/st…
