The great turkey shoot over Jordan (04 2024) :
On the night of Saturday to Sunday 14th 04 24, Iran launched a series of Missile and drone strikes against Israel. Launches were reported from Iran, Irak and Yemen totalling 320 drones, Cruise and ballistic missiles (respectively, 170, 30 and 120 - the reported 120 ballistic missiles launched should make it the most massive single ballistic missile strike in history).
In the ensuing hours, the IAF, USAF, USN, USMC, RAF, RJAF, and AdlAE* tracked and targeted the vast majority of them. This thread is to compile the available information relating to these events
Obviously a place holder
I wonder if a kill boxes strategy was put in place like in GW1 for the slowest vector (drones).
Tally (to be updated):
- US (all services): 70 (air) including 4 (Naval) 30 (SAM)
- RJAF: a few
- ADLAE: "marginal" (as reported in the media but the emphasis made by the Israeli gov makes this modest claims very dubious - France now reporting one single aerial victory )
- RAF: "several", "some"
In total US CENTCOM claimed 80 UAV, 6 MRBM including one on the ground and 7 UAV on their launchers.
*a list to be ammended upon the availability of new information
