The number of missiles launched by the Iranian regime has dropped by 90% since the first day of fighting, according to the chief of United States Central Command (CENTCOM), as U.S. and Israeli fighter jets have established near-complete aerial superiority over the country.
In a briefing on Thursday, CENTCOM Chief Adm. Brad Cooper said ballistic missile attacks had fallen by 90%, while drone attacks had dropped by 83%.
Meanwhile, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir said that 60% of the regime’s missile launchers had been destroyed so far.
“This is a very significant achievement that reduces harm to the home front and saves many lives. However, this is an ongoing effort, and I emphasize that the threat has not yet been removed – every missile is lethal and poses a danger.”
The Air Force has conducted some 2,500 sorties and dropped over 6,000 munitions so far, Zamir added.
The daily number of missile launches and the missiles per attack by the Iranian forces have dropped consistently since the start of the war.
Overall, around 200 missiles were fired at Israel since last Saturday, Ynet News reported, noting that this was 80% lower than estimated, as the Israeli security system had prepared for the regime to launch around 150 missiles per day.
