kumar_tarak Posted October 29, 2024 Posted October 29, 2024 Israel destroys all S-300 air defence system, is it the end of Russian weapon? What’s next for Tehran? Institute for the Study of War (ISW) said, 'The IDF attacked three or four S-300 sites, including one site at Imam Khomeini International Airport near Tehran.' Tehran: In one of its biggest airstrike last week, Israel carried out an attack on Iranian missile facilities and military bases. As per reports, Iran is still estimating the damage caused by the severe attack. The report also said that the biggest blow to the Islamic Republic of Iran has come through the attacks on S-300 air defense systems. Additionally, the attack on Iran has also been known to damage the ‘secret’ areas where the country used to do nuclear activities. An individual in the US administration, who wanted to stay unnamed, shared in a Wall Street Journal’s conversation how Israel’s recent attack has significantly incapacitated Iran’s defense, taking down their final three S-300 missile defense apparatus out of the total four they initially had. Israel had wrecked one beforehand at the start of the year. The insider also disclosed that the Iranian interception measures could hardly resist the Israeli aircraft, as the bulk of the launched missiles successfully struck their intended spots.
kumar_tarak Posted October 29, 2024 Posted October 29, 2024 Iran is in a bit of a tough spot when it comes to replacing the S-300 system any time soon. For its defence and security, Iran leans heavily on Russia for its high-tech weapons, but at the moment, Russia’s attention is mostly towards the unrest in Ukraine. This means they’re using all their air defense resources, leaving little for Iran. To add to the complexity, Iran’s setting its sights on the more advanced S-400 from Russia. However, snagging this system for Iran might not be a walk in the park in the current circumstances.
kumar_tarak Posted October 29, 2024 Posted October 29, 2024 How Israeli strikes on Iran challenge credibility of Russian air defence systems Failures in combat The airstrikes on October 26, which involved over 100 Israeli aircraft targeting Iranian military sites, revealed serious weaknesses in the S-300 defence system. Reports from The Telegraph and Wall Street Journal show that Iranian defences were mostly ineffective and failed to stop the missiles fired by Israel. Key targets included Iranian S-300 systems at Tehran’s Imam Khomeini International Airport and several missile manufacturing sites linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. These strikes demonstrated Israel’s advanced intelligence and operational skills, which have allowed it to breach Iranian defences more easily, as noted by The Telegraph. Broader geopolitical context The impact of Israel’s airstrikes goes beyond just military action. It marks a significant change in how countries view Russian weapons, especially among long-time customers. The SIPRI reports that Russian arms exports have dropped by 52 per cent since 2022, showing a decrease in trust from clients, including India, which has traditionally depended on Russian military technology. This loss of confidence in Russian air defence systems creates major challenges for Moscow as it tries to keep its influence in the global arms market, according to SIPRI. Strategic implications for clients India has invested a lot in Russian defence technology, buying five S-400 “Triumf” anti-aircraft missile systems through a $5.4 billion deal signed in October 2018. The first system arrived in 2021, and the second and third systems came in 2022 and 2023, respectively. These systems have been strategically placed in key locations to counter potential threats from Pakistan and China, as well as to protect India’s airspace. The original agreement with Russia was to have all S-400 systems delivered by 2024, but this has been delayed to 2026 due to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. For now, a report from The Wall Street Journal indicates that Indian security officials see Israel’s success against the S-300 as not threatening and continue to trust in their S-400 systems. Additionally, India is developing its own long-range air defence systems to work alongside Russian technology, showing a gradual shift away from depending solely on Russian arms.
