For all those who see the United States as a power in decline, the failure of Iran’s revenge attack on Israel should serve as a reality check.
How Israel’s premier defense missile system developed and eventually became the system being used to defend Europe.
What are the prospects that the terrorist organizations in northern Samaria will acquire missile capabilities equal to those of Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad in Gaza? Israel needs to prepare for what may soon transpire inside Palestinian cities.
Washington has reportedly requested that Israel provide some of its remaining Hawk missiles to the U.S. for subsequent delivery to Ukraine—if true, Israel’s political echelon faces a dilemma.
A significant dimension of the war in Ukraine is the extensive use of UAVs and precision missiles, both ballistic and cruise. Of the three types of weapons, precision cruise missiles seem to have been the most effective to date.
Their growing capabilities have raised the threat of Iran’s unmanned aerial vehicles from nuisance to strategic level, on par with that posed by Tehran’s rockets and missiles.
The West is focusing on the tragic humanitarian costs of the war in Yemen while turning a blind eye to the significant strategic implications of a Houthi/Iranian victory.
The launch of Iran’s first solid-propellant space rocket is highly significant.
