What are Iran's military capabilities? | DW Analysis

DW asks various experts what we can expect from Iran - and what Iran is actually capable of - after the country launched drones and missiles at Israel overnight. Israel said its military and allies intercepted the majority of the projectiles. Tehran said it was responding to an Israeli airstrike on its Damascus consulate earlier this month, adding that it considers the operation complete.

[@crashcrain]

I am listening to people saying that this is a "Golden opportunity " for Israel to attack Iran. The people saying this should personally volunteer their life, and their children's lives for their cause. I cannot say this enough, there is never anything "Golden" about war. If you want it, you go fight it yourself. I have been to war, there is no reward.

[@pk3778]

LOOOL this is a calculated political ruse by the US, Israel and the UK to garner white sympathy for colonial Israel, at a time when every Palestinian death was a nail pulled-out from the metal coffin that is the occupation... Will support for Israel rise, now that Israel has given itself a potential war against a bigger rival, in Iran-instead of the white world focusing on the Genocide of hapless Palestinians... If Israel responds with F35s the kremlin will be interested in collecting a few samples-because, Tehran has the capacity to make any "air superiority", a suicide mission...

One shot one kill vs response of hundreds of drones and missiles is the difference. Let’s say Israel sends only 50% of drones and missiles to Iran, isn’t that going to result in potential mass deaths? Iran should’ve sent a real message instead of a firework show

[@nahaaniimataal]

The difference was Israel's air defense systems and without those being as effective as it was, then there would have been many civilian casualties on the Israeli side which would have resulted in a massive Israeli retaliation. And an Israeli attack on Iran with missiles, drones and other means would have been more destructive due to Iran not having the air defense systems capabilities as Israel.

[@TheHometownfan]

@@nahaaniimataal but that’s my point.. everyone knows Israel boasts their air defense system. Iran might have some weapons that could’ve sent a legit message but instead sent hundreds and say hope you guys can block these and then say if you retaliate, then there will be more severe consequences… this seems to be a baiting game at the risk of civilian lives if Israel does send a few drones and missiles over to Iran as a “response” back but to a much less degree.

Israel itself has only become more hawkish & ready to use force, making itself a villain by retaliating on civilians... just because terrorists might be in the general vicinity.

@@odedshashua2763 You may want to review what Biden and US diplomatic messaging have been recently. Biden switched from the US saying we will absolutely supply weapons to Israel no matter what to we will supply defensive weapons. When Israel bombed the Iranian diplomatic compound the initial US reply was -- we had nothing to do with this don't retaliate against the US. it was not don't do anything. The US waited to say don't do anything. In The UK the government has received legal on if it may be complicit in war crimes and/or genocide if the UK helps Israel. They will not let the opposition or the public know what that advice was. They would not withhold the information if it was there is no legal danger to the UK at all. The polls in the UK have shown the current government losing badly if there is an election for over a year and they keep getting worse. They have to hold an election by January. If Israel escalates tension in the region again it may find itself air defence but no offensive resupply weapons and no diplomatic cover from sanctions. The US won't sanction Israel but they won't fight very hard to stop EU and other Western countries from sanctioning Israel. Israel claimed it was not blocking aid for 6 months. Then 3 days after the IDF killed an American aid worker and the US told Israel to stop blocking aid, it went from under 100 trucks to 300 or 400 trucks a day. No Western countries believe Israeli statements anymore. If Israel does any more to make the situation worse people in Western countries drop all support of Israel.

So israel just flies willy nilly across hundreds of miles of enemy airspace, without US refueling or airbases, since the arabs won't allow it, and attack Iran? Not likely with airplanes, but they do have missiles so let them fly, what then? Israel is a paper tiger, but they shouldn't let everyone know it.

[@jesseblackburn2710]

Iran has a much weaker air defence system than Israel, so it could be argued that Israel would have the advantage of a long distance war where Iran cannot leverage it's much larger ground forces

Madam Swetiova is right when she says that as a mother she is worried about the war, but then Israel’s response to Iran must be such that it should make citizens of Iran and of other adventurers in Middle East to be equally if not more scared of what is in store for them.

No one is scared of Israel. The Sampson option is fiction. Nuclear weapons do not exist. Inert material doesn't store energy. There are large scale conventional explosives, the larger they are the bigger the craft or rocket to carry them and the easier they are to target. The American air force doesn't want to contend with Iran which is why America hasn't attacked them and nor will Israel.

They have 150 kilograms of 60% refined uranium... With that, and the current state of the art in Iran, they can make 1-3 nuclear weapons in as little as 3 days. Keeping fully refined uranium on hand is a risky business, storing at 60% with the ability to rapidly purify is safer.
