#Israel dramatically underestimated Iran’s missile power, #IDF insiders reveal
‘Top IDF sources’ have told Israeli media that on the eve of Israel’s attack, Iran turned out to have had 20% more #missiles than previously assumed (2,500 vs 2,000) and was on course to amassing 6,000 by 2026, 8,800 by 2027 and over 10,000 by 2028.
Even with its estimated 2,500 missiles (only a portion of which were launched during Iran’s Operation True Promise III retaliation), Iran managed to do massive damage.
The IDF claims it destroyed ‘about half’ of Iran’s missile launchers during strikes, with #Netanyahu claiming “most” were destroyed. But JPost points out that previous bravado about strikes on Iran’s ballistic missile capabilities in October 2024 proved mistaken, with promises of setting back production ‘by years’ failing to materialize.
