Iran's situation is quite bad! The number of missiles launched by Iran in retaliation has clearly decreased! On March 5, according to AFP, US Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Kahne stated that according to US data, the number of Iranian tactical ballistic missiles launched has decreased by 86% compared to the first day of the war, and has further dropped by 23% in the past 24 hours. At the same time, the US military expects to gain full air superiority over Iranian airspace within a few hours, while the Iranian navy has also suffered heavy damage.
Evidently, from these events that have already occurred, the situation is not very favorable for Iran. First, the US will completely control the air space, which means that US aircraft will be able to more freely search, lock on, and destroy Iran's military missile systems and defense industry facilities. Second, the significant reduction in the number of missiles launched by Iran indicates that there are obvious problems with Iran's missile stockpiles, missile production, and launch vehicles.
In fact, the decisive factor in this conflict is how long Iran's missiles can last, and whether its drones can still normally take off to attack US military bases for casualties. Of course, the good news for Iran is that the scale of its drone attacks has not declined. In this battle of attrition, the US advantage lies in its military industry being in the rear, capable of expanding production and providing continuous supplies to the front lines, while Iran has no external support and can only rely on its remaining combat power and industrial capacity to support its counterattack, which is undoubtedly a major dilemma for Iran.
