Blind radar, blistering speed: How Israeli jets crippled Iran’s air defence in 48 hours, something Russia couldn't do in 3 years

Within two days of launching strikes on Iran, Israel claimed control of Iranian skies—an achievement Russia has failed to replicate in Ukraine after over three years of war. Israels use of stealth, cyber intelligence, and layered air defences, including the Iron Dome and Arrow systems, allowed it to dominate Irans weak and outdated network. By eliminating key IRGC commanders and disabling air assets, Israel is executing what Russia had intended to do in Ukraine—swift decapitation, rapid dominance, and precision aerial supremacy.
