Iran fired more than 180 ballistic missiles, including its hypersonic medium-range Fattah-2, in a major offensive aimed at overwhelming Israel’s air defences. The strikes hit key military targets such as the Nevatim and Tel Nof airbases, home to Israel’s F-35 fighter jets.
In this episode of In Our Defence, host Dev Goswami and defence expert Shiv Aroor unpack Iran’s recent missile offensive on Israel and how the Fattah-2, used for the first time, targeted Israel’s Arrow defence system, designed to intercept long-range ballistic missiles. Iranian officials claim that 90% of their missiles successfully hit their targets, although Israel and the U.S. reported intercepting most of the projectiles.
So, what makes hypersonic ballistic missiles so formidable? How do they differ from traditional missiles, and what technologies allow them to bypass even the most sophisticated defence systems? How prepared is the world for the era of hypersonic missile warfare?
But this attack raises deeper questions about Iran’s military capabilities. While Iranian officials touted the success of their missiles, critics argue that Iran may exaggerate its technological prowess. Is Iran truly at the cutting edge of hypersonic technology, or is there more to the story?
We also explore the broader implications of hypersonic missile technology. Where does India fare in all of this? What’s India’s ballistic missile defence system?
With superpowers like the U.S., China, and Russia advancing their hypersonic weapons programs, this new arms race is unfolding without the regulatory oversight that controlled nuclear arms during the Cold War. What does this mean for global security? Can existing defence systems, like Israel’s Iron Dome and Arrow, adapt to meet this emerging threat?
Finally, we consider the nuclear dimension. If an incoming missile is suspected to be nuclear, who makes the decision to intercept it? And what are the strategic considerations behind such a critical move?

From Iran to israel nearly 2000 kms distance within 12 minutes. Can any sane person even dare to suggest that those missiles were intercepted and 90% of them got destroyed 😂😂😂😂

[@hoantran041975]

Just return the packages to the senders .That is how the nuclear deterrence is.
If they sending 10 missiles and one is getting through, then sending back 10 nuke missiles and they can't do nothing with the S400 defenses.

[@aghayemohandes9037]

Very nice and informative 👍 👌 well done

[@mrashitkatiyar]

[@vovobani1708]

great podcast, this was very informative.

[@jumamnumbwa9483]

I agree with brother iran is ahead of Europe in missiles technology that is a head of nato's patriots, arrows and iron dome have no match against

[@vishwasbhandarkar77]

Have a podcast about officers repeatedly getting honeytrapped and how govt is preventing it...

[@Inagole4233]

Some experts say the Fatah hypersonic missile did not carry heavy payload as evidenced from the blast,,though unlike the previous mission it had an added deterrent effect,,,

[@AliMohamed-wd4wp]

I tought All missile interrupted !😆

[@jumamnumbwa9483]

This means iran intems of missiles technology is two steps ahead of nato batteries

[@ujwalkrishnan1388]

Please make one session on Saudi Arabia and Mohd Bin Salman! I assume they are the one silent party who is benefitting from this current middle east mishap!
