Pakistan Air Force former colonel Sultan Khalid told Sputnik News about Iran's strikes on Dimona and Arad, stating that Iran overwhelmed the Israeli defense systems, including Iron Dome, David's Sling, Arrow, and THAAD, by launching multiple waves of drones and missiles simultaneously.
He added that the missiles of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran used low-altitude or evasive trajectories, taking advantage of radar blind spots in Israel.
Khalid concluded, "Even advanced air defense systems find it difficult to cope with large-scale coordinated attacks, especially when the attacking side combines inexpensive drones with precision-guided missiles."
