Israel Spending $285 Million A Night On Missile Defense In Iran War (pics) by TruthU87(op): 12:28pm On Jun 19, 2025
Speaking of stopping a bicycle with a Lamborghini.
Israel is rapidly depleting its stock of Arrow missile interceptors, raising urgent
questions about the sustainability of its missile defence against Iran. A senior U.S. official, quoted in The Wall Street Journal, confirmed that Israel's supply of the advanced Arrow system used to intercept high-altitude ballistic missiles - is running low.

"Neither the U.S. nor the Israelis can continue to sit and intercept missiles all day," said Tom Karako, director of the Missile Defense Project at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.


Israeli financial daily The Marker estimates nightly missile defence operations cost up to 1 billion shekels ($285 million). Each Arrow interceptor alone costs around $3 million.
A source briefed on U.S. and Israeli intelligence told WSJ that without
American resupply or escalation, Israel may only have enough interceptors left for 10 to
12 more days assuming Iran maintains its current pace of fire.


On Friday night, Iranian missiles breached defences and struck near Israel's military headquarters in Tel Aviv. Two days later, another projectile hit an oil refinery near Haifa, forcing a shutdown. Verified videos on Tuesday showed further impacts close to Israel's intelligence complex north of Tel Aviv.

Without doubt, Israel can never take Iran 1v1. Never

Israel is roughly the size of New Jersey, while Iran has a massive stockpile of missiles.

I saw a video on TikTok where a former CIA director claimed that Iran could flatten Israel in a single day.

It makes me wonder what's holding Iran back.

Yes, they are.

An Iranian kamikaze drone cost only $20k, and Israel will need a $4m interceptor missile to take one out.

Now it's clear why the U.S. is so eager to get involved in the war — without US support, Israel will not hold out for even 12 days.

How much is Iran spending on hundreds of ballistic missiles , they are just firing out anyhow.

Compare Israel economy and Iran's which one is better

A billionaire spent 100m and you are comparing to a terrorist spending all the money available on arms.

Which of the citizens of the States fared better?

One thing for sure, Iran will not and can not defeat Isreal. Iran has tried before and failed this won't be exception, they will fail again.

Re: Israel Spending $285 Million A Night On Missile Defense In Iran War (pics) by Basicend: 1:21pm On Jun 19, 2025
That the issue.

Both the launcher and the defender are heavily incurring high costs.

That's why a war is not always the best way to address issues.

That's why Trump is not comfortable and trying to jump in, coz indirectly, America will bear the costs significantly.

Iran too has reduced the load of their launched missiles due to the cost being uncured.

Lmaoooo. I don't understand why people still underestimate Iran. So a country whose military is ranked 15th in the world is one you think a country like Israel can handicap in a week? Be careful of media propaganda.

Is it your money? War is costly , everyone knows that. And there is no cheap intercontinental ballistic missile. Iran is also bleeding money.

So how many missiles does Iran have.... uncountable, inexhaustable.... ?
Re: Israel Spending $285 Million A Night On Missile Defense In Iran War (pics) by Bwanasaraw: 1:23pm On Jun 19, 2025
When Israel invaded Gaza after October 7th and Hezbollah started shooting missiles to Israel some people said the Israel Army is over stretched and can't fight Hezbollah because their stockpile of missile defense will get exhausted.

After defeating Hezbollah, some people said Israel can't fight Houthis because their fight with Hezbollah exhausted their missile defense.

Now they fighting Iran we are now hearing another propaganda grin

The only thing holding them back is US Iran is ready to go toe to toe with Isreal
