The Israeli missile defense system, including the Arrow complexes, has faced serious depletion of interceptor missile stocks in just five days of intense Iranian missile attacks. According to The Washington Post and The Wall Street Journal, without operational replenishment from the United States, Israel will be able to maintain its defenses for only about 10-12 days while maintaining the current rate of shelling.
Arrow complexes designed to intercept ballistic missiles are a key element of the Israeli missile defense system. However, due to the high intensity and duration of Iranian missile attacks, stocks of expensive interceptor missiles are rapidly declining. The US Department of Defense confirmed that Arrow stocks are running out, and if the conflict drags on, Israel's ability to repel attacks will decrease significantly.
Israel denies official reports of the final depletion of stocks, but experts note that the system is already overloaded and will soon have to choose which targets to intercept and which to skip. In response to this situation, Israel began using the Iron Ray laser air defense system to intercept missiles and drones, indicating attempts to compensate for the shortage of interceptor missiles.
The conflict between Israel and Iran continues for the fifth day. Israel is conducting Operation Rising Lion, attacking Iran's nuclear and military facilities, while Tehran is responding with massive missile strikes. Under such conditions, the Israeli missile defense system is under unprecedented strain, which jeopardizes the effectiveness of the country's defense.
In general, the depletion of stocks of Arrow interceptor missiles poses serious challenges for Israel in ensuring national security and requires urgent international cooperation and replenishment of weapons.
