Global Times: The use of drones put significant pressure on Israel’s defense

Some experts told the Global Times on Sunday that Iran’s choice to use drones for the attack had the advantage of being difficult for an enemy to intercept and putting a significant strain on defense systems. Air Israel brought in.

Daniel Hagari, the spokesman of the Zionist army, said that more than 300 missiles and drones were launched from Iran towards Israel, and an unknown number of missiles hit targets.

An expert told the Chinese newspaper Global Times: Iran intended to respond with a retaliatory attack as a warning to Israel not to act recklessly.

Wei Dongsu, the editor of a military program, told the Global Times: Iran’s suicide drones have a very long range and reach hundreds or even thousands of kilometers. Although the technology and structure of drones are relatively simple, they have their own advantages. UAVs fly in low-altitude areas and use group tactics to overcome the enemy’s air defense system and enable “saturation attacks” on targets in the area.
This military expert emphasized: For Israel, even if its “Iron Dome” defense system can intercept suicide drones, if there are a large number of drones in a short period of time, Israel’s air defense system will face significant pressure.
He said: In addition, Iran also has the ability to supply suicide drones to its pro-armed groups in the West Asia, which allows them to use launchers near Israel to carry out coordinated attacks. Iran is equipped with ballistic missiles with a range of about 2,000 km and cruise missiles with a range of more than 1,000 km. Tehran’s firepower can cover most of the West Asia region, which represents a severe and accurate retaliatory tool.

V Dongsu emphasized: In the face of a large-scale missile and drone attack by Iran, Israel’s air defense and missile defense systems are not able to fully defend against saturation attacks by ballistic missiles and suicide drones. When the Israeli air force bases are attacked, the counterattack capability of the Israeli army will also be weakened.

This expert said: The current situation in the West Asia is complicated. Iran’s retaliatory action is primarily in response to the call of its people and at the same time showing strength and determination in the current turbulent regional situation. However, Iran does not want to enter into a large-scale conflict or war.
