Footage captured by Jordanian citizens showed what appeared to be an Iranian missile falling, but in reality, it was not a fallen missile. Instead, it was the fuel tank of the first-stage rocket engine of Iran's intermediate-range ballistic missile after separation. The majority of Iran's intermediate-range ballistic missiles are liquid-fueled missiles, which require propellant to be loaded before launch. This makes their reaction time slower and maintenance more troublesome, with a large number of support vehicles needed. Unlike solid-propellant missiles, which can be launched directly from an upright position. Currently, Iran has some solid-propellant missiles, but the majority still use liquid propellants.
The warheads of Iran's intermediate-range missiles have already achieved end-game maneuverable flight, greatly enhancing their penetration capabilities. However, most of their missile propulsion technology is relatively backward, taking at least十多 minutes to reach Israel. Given that Israel has early warning assistance from the United States, it becomes very difficult to target airports, aircraft, leadership command centers, or similar targets. They can only attack fixed targets. This is where the power of hypersonic missiles comes into play. For instance, Russia has used "Kinzhal" and "Tsirkon" multiple times to destroy Ukrainian aircraft at airports. Despite Western early warning assistance, there is little time to react. This results in Ukraine becoming extremely nervous whenever a MiG-31 equipped with "Kinzhal" takes off, forcing Zelenskyy and Budanov to quickly retreat to bunkers.
