BMD working againt Iranian MRBMs:

- SM-3 (exo)
- SM-6 (endo)
- THAAD (high endo, low exo)
- Arrow-3 (exo)
- Arrow-2 (high endo)
- david’s sling (endo)

That's the Israeli army and the American military.

As usual, it's a battle where both defense and offense is at peak

What you'd see in an exo interception

The vivid colors seen during an SM-3 missile’s ascent or exo-atmospheric interception aren’t from combustion alone, they occur when sunlight illuminates the expanding exhaust plume at high altitudes, often above kármán line, creating a glowing spectacle in the upper atmosphere

Senator Wicker confirms that SM-3 Block IIA was used to target incoming Iranian ballistic missiles.

IIA facilitization is 24 missiles per year, with scheduled deliveries to the USN ranging from 12-24 depending on FMS orders.

SM-3 Block IB is produced at a rate of 48/year, with facilitization for 96, but the Department of Defense is terminating IB procurement in favor of IIA, over the objections of Congress.

Back in October, the U.S. fired 12 interceptors during this engagement from the destroyers Bulkeley and Cole.

Assuming they were SM-3 interceptors, that represents the production run for an entire year, at a cost of about $400 million total.

Note: my coverage isn't as before and there is a lot of copy pasting happening because I neither have the time or ability now for an original paraphrased one.

In case anyone is bothered, drop a message where to correct and add origin in case I didn't

Usually my feed is offering a place where various types of details are available in one place

🇱🇧 Jewish enemies are moving concrete blocks to fortify the newly constructed military position inside Lebanese territory, along the road linking Houla and Markaba, which they has blocked with rocks.

The Lebanese army is trying to reopen the road.

❗️For how long can Israel's BMD network be effective against consistent 50–70 ballistic missiles launches by Iran per day?

A numbers-based breakdown by Mett project on X

Interceptor Inventory (best case scenario estimate):

- Arrow-2/3: 180–220
- David’s Sling: 450–600
- THAAD (Negev): 48–64
- SM-3/6 (US ships): 110–140

Totaling ~950–1120 BMD interceptors.
🫡23👀12👍7
Interceptor Usage Rate:

The average expenditure will be 1.2–1.4 per intercept

Against 60 incoming iranian Ballistic missiles per day 72–84 interceptors/day are needed

Endurance Estimates (assuming shared load):

- Arrow-2/3: 6–9 days (handling ~20–30% of targets)

- David’s Sling: 10–14 days (~50%)

- SM-3/6: 4–6 days (strategic-range only)

- THAAD: 5–7 days (upper-tier terminal role)

Resulting in full grid pressure breach beginning around Day 15–18
🫡36👀10👍5👎3
Confirmed Failures:

- 8+ missile leakers

- 3 known hits near BMD nodes (Haifa, Tel Aviv sector)

- Arrow and Stunner midcourse/terminal and after launch failures

Likely causes: older stocks, saturation, decoys, burnout-phase timing gaps
