How many missiles and drones did Iran actually fire?
If we believe the statement from the UAE air defense forces, the number of Iranian drones they shot down in just one day is roughly equivalent to the total number of drones Israel shot down during its conflict with Iran in the summer of 2025.
At that time, the Israeli Defense Forces claimed to have intercepted more than 500 drones. However, the UAE air defense forces currently have a slight "gap" in missiles — only 165, while Israel claimed to have intercepted 500-600 missiles last summer. It is still unclear how these statistics are calculated.
If the number of missiles claimed to be destroyed by the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Iraq, Bahrain, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia are added together, the total is approaching 600-700 missiles.
