Just because you

 


think its over.

Doesn't mean they do.


Israel speeds up long-range interceptor resupply 

with large-scale order.

The Times of Israel 7/17/25


An order is one thing

getting them delivered is another.


"Israel’s Arrow 2 and 3 long-range missile defense systems were used extensively during Israel’s 12-day war with Iran last month, as well as amid repeated Houthi attacks from Yemen. There had been speculation that Israel’s supplies of the interceptors had been significantly depleted by the attacks."


"In a statement, the director general of the Defense Ministry, Amir Baram, says, “accelerating the production rate of the Arrow and other critical systems is a central component of the ministry’s strategy to expand production capabilities and improve operational readiness for the continuation of the war and future campaigns.”


Meanwhile:

Iran says it has replaced air defenses 

damaged in Israel war

The Jerusalem Post 7/20/25


"Iran has replaced air defenses damaged during last month's conflict with Israel, Iran's Defah Press news agency reported on Sunday, quoting Mahmoud Mousavi, the regular army's deputy for operations."

"During the conflict in June, Israel's air force dominated Iran's airspace and dealt a heavy blow to the country's air defenses while Iranian armed forces launched successive barrages of missiles and drones on Israeli territory."

(Thats pretty unbiased reporting right there.)

"Some of our air defenses were damaged; this is not something we can hide, but our colleagues have used domestic resources and replaced them with pre-arranged systems that were stored in suitable locations in order to keep the airspace secure," Mousavi said."

"Prior to the war, Iran had its own domestically-made long-range air defense system, Bavar-373, in addition to the Russian-made S-300 system. The report by Defah Press did not mention any import of foreign-made air defense systems to Iran in past weeks."

"Following limited Israeli strikes against Iranian missile factories last October, Iran later displayed Russian-made air defenses in a military exercise to show it recovered from the attack."


So its domestically produced

probably not near as good as the Russian one.

And Israel took those out pretty  easy.


But they need the missiles etc etc etc...

Point is:


Just because you

think its over.

Doesn't mean they do.
