"The Israeli Air Force released photos and videos of its fighter jets returning after successfully intercepting targets. F-15Is were seen with a mixed loadout which included AIM-7 Sparrow semi-active radar homing missiles and Python 5 and AIM-9L Sidewinder IR-guided missiles."
From https://theaviationist.com | STEFANO D'URSO | April 14, 2024.
"The footage shows drones and cruise missiles being tracked by targeting pods before being hit by air-to-air missiles."
Go see the various video courtesy the Aviationist article!
"Last night, the Israeli air defenses were put to the test when Iran launched a massive retaliatory drone and missile attack against Israel, nearly two weeks after an Israeli attack on the Iranian consulate in Syria killed seven IRGC members. Both surface-to-air air defenses and fighter aircraft were employed, supported by US, UK and Jordanian assets, to stop the attacks before they could strike their targets."
Israeli expense for air defense this one mass attack alone estimated at slightly in excess of $1 billion USD!
By comparison the Iranian attacker that expenditure about one-tenth the amount of the Israeli defender!
"According to Israel’s Ynet, citing Israel’s economic advisor to the former Chief of Staff, Brigadier General Ram Aminach, estimates are that it may have costed Iran around 10% of Israel’s financial hit: ~$100m-$150m."
