Non-zero chance that Iran stopped signaling missile attacks and actually seriously targeted USAF fighter-jet assets in Jordan Not just depleting $4 million dollar Patriot PAC-3 stocks with 20-times cheaper missiles but hitting painful targets ➡️ Escalating disproportionally ?

The ongoing 🇮🇷-🇮🇱 fire exchange is kept limited by both sides for now Iran never committed its missile forces to a scale that would enable its 'Airpower Suppression' concept to full effect Instead it went for a minimalist but highly efficient and effective attrition operation mode. The 'Airpower Suppression' concept would target a weak link in Israel's airpower, such as the support aircraft section at Nevatim airbase (tankers, jammers, airborne-radar) An area target, several kilometers large, but not well hardened. With plenty of soft, mission-critical assets like maintenance hangars Then over the timespan of e.g. 10 days, every ~5 hours one Khorramshahr-4 with submunition payload, or alternatively 3 older Ghadr ballistic missiles would be launched against it. This would for both disrupt effective operations as well as devastate the base and render it inoperable within those 10 days. ➡️ Hence just 100 Khorramshahr-4 or 300 Ghadr missile would be sufficient to neutralize that critical link for Israel's airpower Now, since the U.S. would jump in to replace those support assets, it would not make a very big difference operationally at this time The graphic below shows the damage those 100 Khorramshahr would cause -8000 x 25kg Submunitions with 15m shrapnel damage distance assumed - High dispersion of up to 5,5km between two outlier submunitions due to early exo-atmospheric release (Statistical Normal distribution) ➡️ The density of the > mach 3 impacting submunitions would be high enough to devastate that airbase area for a long period ~1000 Khorramshahr hence would be enough to cause such havoc at all Israeli Airbases But Iran won't commit its missile forces to such a scale at this low escalation level

Simulated effects of a salvo of 2⃣0⃣ Khorramshahr-4 missiles equipped with 20 heavy 100kg Submunitions (on a key 🇮🇱 facility) Details: - 300m CEP for a tri-conic-RV, heavy-Submunition released outside the atmosphere - 100kg Submunition assumed have heavy destructive effect out to 40m. Mach 5-6 impact energy (see supposed impact video) - 4 salvo/aimpoints of 5 Khorramshahr = 20, each equipped with 20 heavy-type Submunitions (400 total) The facility in the simulation is not of soft type, since it has berms to protect against nearby hits and contain the effects of an accidental explosion The salvo-size of 20 missiles is not outlandish for such a high-priority target. CEP is neither for a relative high ballistic-coefficient tri-conic re-entry vehicle PLUS early-release dispersion effect (to defeat endo-atmospheric missile defenses) ➡️ I did this to illustrate the power of heavy throwers like the Khorramshahr even without precision enhancers like GPS or MaRV. A relative low-cost weapon that can defeat every defense, except for the upper-tier SM-3 and to a lower extend THAAD & Arrow-3 PS: It also serves as an eye-opener on the fact that Iran didn't opt to use such destructive weapons against civilian targets like downtown Tel Aviv

This is one of the 20-25kg exo-atmospheric 🇮🇷 submunitions, coming in at around mach-5 - 80 carried by Khorramshahr-2 - 28 carried by Ghadr-H Now think about a large airbase subjected to a single Khorramshahr-2. Quite some time needed to clean things up, aside damage

🇮🇷-🇺🇸 escalation cycle would not go far: - 11 missile did what you see below video - 200 missiles were launched in a single salvo against 🇮🇱 - 🇺🇸 Gulf Arab allies have all their infrastructure lying 300km from Iran ➡️ Go figure

A SINGLE 🇮🇷 missile vs. 14 🇮🇱 missile interceptors ➡️ Who wins? Yes its a single missile, the slower object behind it, is its its 1st stage booster burning up Candidates for the missile used? ➡️ Fattah-1 ➡️ Kheybar-Shekan-2

2017 to 2020, Trump was unaware of Iran's military power ➡️ The Ain-Al-Assad strike changed it But not to a sufficiently high level To avoid 🇮🇷 oil exports being targeted: ➡️ Iran must demonstrate to 🇺🇸 that it has near-nuclear destructive power ➡️ By a massive strike on 🇮🇱
