Absolutely incredible footage of the ballistic missile engagement over Jordan and Israel, as filmed by Zaid Al-Abbadi from Amman during last night’s Iranian ballistic missile attack.

I remember during the GW we would freak out because 10 were launched. This is an order of magnitude beyond 1991. Insane. Things will get ludicrous when they put WMDs on them.
Surprised that the United States didn't intercept more of these? Also to the trolls who will spam about IROM Dome "failure" 🤣 You clowns don't understand the IRON Dome wasn't for ballistic missile defense
Future conflicts might increasingly be determined by the sophistication of defense systems rather than just offensive capabilities.
I see a strange pattern. The very first wave at the left side was not defended very well. As if they were not quite ready for it (or there was some malfunction). Only at the second wave there was a huge amount of interceptions. After that a bit less, probably due to saturation.
If I'm interpreting this correctly, the first volley of wave 1 mostly made it through, with the mid-course kill vehicles arriving to make intercepts beginning around 19:41 on the clock in the lower right-hand corner. If so, that may represent a window of extra vulnerability.
Would love to see a breakdown. I see a few things going on: 1) Ballistic missiles headed outbound, many of which seem to get engaged close to the ground 2) the occasional much faster missile streaking by 3) some explosions in the foreground - breakup? Intercept? Dropped stages?
Failure of NASA Lunar Lander ‘Peregrine’ I predicted that the launch of the and Peregrine Lunar Lander would not succeed, indicating that the United States’ return to the Moon would not be achieved through this mission. My analysis included a comprehensive

This is civilian grade tec from ground level. Imagine how they can see this in US-Israeli command centre. Monitoring everything, from launch, real time from space from multiple sensors. Predicting paths routes and intercepting them as they go.
Not what Blake intended when he wrote the line "... when the stars threw down their spears..." but that's the imagery that comes to mind.
"The rocket bombs crashed oftener than ever, and sometimes in the far distance there were enormous explosions which no one could explain and about which there were wild rumours." -Orwell
There were some intercepts. There was also separations of the main body from the warhead/RVs. The Fattah-1 has a rocket inside the RV.
Real life towerdefence. If the attack isn't Grouped tightly most of it will be shot down. Absolutely amazing videos from the attack, mind blowing
Available to RENT or PURCHASE on YouTube: Before the deep-state targeted Trump and General Flynn, it targeted one of America’s most beloved families-the Kennedys. Now, as General Flynn tells his own story, a frightening parallel emerges: take down those that think differently.
Can these be debris re-entering after exoatmospheric interception? If not, what phase of flight is it and why such synchronized trajectory?
Well the real reasons !

Don't cope No, those bright flashes are not interceptions Those are the empty separated boosters reaching maximum dynamic pressure "max-Q" ➡️ Now I really wonder if a Fattah-1 went for the AN/TPY-2 radar, since 🇮🇱 missile defenses are totally overwhelmed

The number of intercept on the missiles are incredible. I wonder how Iron Beam would be against a missile swarm like this.
SpaceX Falcon 9 Axiom 3 Launch Delay I was challenged to make a prediction regarding the legendary and nearly flawless Falcon 9 Block 5 rocket launch, and I accepted. I predicted that the 3 launch would encounter difficulties if it proceeded as scheduled,

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This astrologer ad claims the launch was delayed for unspecified "more favorable" conditions for the Falcon 9 Block 5. However, Spaceflight Now reported the delay was due to issues on Crew Dragon: spaceflightnow.com/2024/01/17/spa… The scientific community has determined Astrology has no predictive power: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astrology…

Dalla visuale Giordana si può notare l'efficacia della "contraerea israeliana" A.D. Purtroppo un certo numero di missili sono andati a segno.
Literally half of them made it through. In modern warfare that’s considered a success. Every army expects an average 50% interception and no one expects most to make it through.
All of that resulted in the deaths of maybe one or two people. Israel, meanwhile, eliminates specific militants with ease. Iran surely feels the frustration of futility.
Withdrawal of Wagner PMC During the peak of Wagner PMC’s significant achievements in Bakhmut, there was a prevailing belief that the group would continue its advance through Ukraine without the need for intervention from the regular Russian Army. However, astrological indicators

This is the way for every midsized country to protect themselves at low cost. I think that EU countries should mass produce ballistic and cruise missiles. Especially those feeling threatened by RU.
And Israel now knows the exact location those missiles came from and what mountain they are in. There's gonna be some massive bombs dropping soon. They spent how much to kill a single Palestinian and 5 IRGC members when missile exploded on launch. Now they gonna lose billions
