Iran’s missiles reaching over 2,300 km to hit Israel in just minutes because…, technology behind it is…

Tehran: The Israel-Iran war has entered its seventh day with no sign of ending soon. Both countries are continuously firing missiles at each other, resulting in significant loss of life. Tel Aviv started the conflict with pre-emptive airstrikes targeting several sites in Iran, which included crucial nuclear facilities, scientists, and top military leaders under Operation – ‘Rising Lion’. As per Israel, the military action was taken to prevent Tehran from developing nuclear warheads, which could be an existential threat for the country.

Iran, in retaliatory fire, fired several ballistic missiles and launched suicide drones on multiple cities in Israel, targeting military sites.

But do you know that the missiles that Tehran fired at Israel are reaching in minutes, even though the distance between the countries is over 2,300 km.

Iran is attacking Israel with its ballistic missiles that can intercept the Israeli air defence system and hit the target.

Notably, ballistic missiles are five to 20 times faster than sound. Because of their super-fast speed, it is impossible to intercept them. The distance between Iran and Israel is over 2,300 km, but these missiles can reach Tel Aviv in a few minutes. At high speeds (Mach 10 or above), the missile can reach the target in less than 5 minutes.

As per reports, Tehran fired nearly 150 ballistic missiles in response to Israel’s ‘Rising Lion’ operation.

The conflict escalated on June 13, when Israel launched ‘Operation Rising Lion’, targeting Iran’s nuclear and military facilities. Iran has since retaliated, resulting in intense exchanges across the region. On Thursday, Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz called for direct action against Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei, citing Iran’s attack on Soroka Hospital in southern Israel a day earlier.
