Iran launched ballistic missiles at US bases, but air defense had other plans
Iran tried to test US air defenses overnight with ballistic missiles, but the result was a complete strikeout.
Nighttime in the Middle East got spicy again when Iran’s IRGC decided to launch a salvo of ballistic missiles straight at US military bases in the region.
Instead of a dramatic statement, they got a textbook demonstration of air defense performance. American air defense forces intercepted every single ballistic missile launched from Iranian territory. Not a single one reached its target.
Launching expensive ballistic missiles just to help the enemy practice target interception remains one of the stranger tactical choices of modern warfare.
