If the target is destruction of Israeli aircraft, most of them are in hardened hangers, I doubt a CEP of even 10m is enough to guarantee destruction unless it landed directly on top.
Lots of gaslighting and the west hiding the truth about the fact that so many Iranian missiles actually got through to hit something instead of being intercepted as per usual, proving the fact that the Iron dome is not the end all or be all. Always better to wait for the truth to come out instead of listening just to western sources as of now, otherwise you wouldn’t get twitter feeds of Netanyahu running like a sissy to a bunker coming out of the west, if they could hide that one since it really does help to screw his image of a tough leader over
That’s a good point, but it applies to ICBMs not the missiles Iran fired. Some studies I read posited a temperature in the range of 300-400K for MRBM.
How fast will depend on the geometry of the engagement. SM-3s seeker homes on target in end game using proportional navigation.
That’s true. A radar like THAAD will go even further and generate a 3D image to discriminate the warhead from decoys, cone cover and spent stages.
IDK what missiles Iran fired but SBIR looks for exhaust plumes and side aspect engines. It is very difficult to have the dynamic range to both distinguish engine exhaust temperatures (to characterized type of missile) and to pick out a 400 K object on a 300 K background.
Bibi need to hide it from the public because he want to keep the support for the war, they are doing the same with Hezbollah rockets attacks, they hide the damage. For the Israelis it must feel great to see damage of their collective punishment on Gaza but the definitly don't want to see that close to home.
Pretty sure if there's any significant damage that has been incurred by the Iranian missile strikes, we would have already seen random civilians making post of such damage since the government can't really control the impulses of such actions.
The airbases are pretty much isolated so a Civilian would have walk the desert to take picture of that place. I don't many Israelis willing to walk in the desert and risk being arrested to brag about Iran destroying their military bases on the internet, but I hope it happens
