and a joint Hezbollah/Iran missile strike could overwhelm defences as US warns it cant keep supplying IDF AND Ukraine Experts have sounded the alarm over Israel‘s dwindling supply of interceptor missiles that constitute the backbone of the Jewish state’s defence against aerial threats from regional foes Iran, Hezbollah and Hamas.
Israel enjoys the protection of a world-class air defence system that sees no less than four different kinds of ground-to-air missile platforms combine to intercept threats at short, medium and long-range threats.
The network is designed to down everything from intercontinental ballistic missiles launched thousands of miles away to unguided rockets fired from just across the border.
In the past year, the systems have fended off two major aerial assaults by Iran and near-daily rocket attacks at the northern and southern borders with Lebanon and Gaza.
The US has steadily worked to replenish its stockpiles but is also committed to supplying Ukraine’s Armed Forces with anti-air projectiles amid the ongoing war with Russia.

Iron Dome missiles cost $50,000 each. Arrow III missiles cost $2 million each. The US THAAD system costs $3 billion and has 48 missiles but they can't stop Iranian Hypersonic missiles.
Iran can pound Israel into the stone age with just 300 hypersonic missiles. Hezbollah could take out other targets with 4,000 rockets and missiles launched in one day.
The US also installed long range radar in Israel. Israel could knock them out first by using either 2 Mach 14 missiles fired from Iran or by air launching two Mach 12 Kinzhal missiles, maybe one minute after turning on their Murmansk BN Electronic Warfare jamming system to jam US and Israeli radar, electronics and guidance systems. Russia has probably sent Iran an AWACS system to make things go even better. Iran and Russia have radar that can detect stealth jets.
