How can Iran and Israel destroy each other?
In the story of Iran's strike on Israel and a retaliatory strike on Iran (which is inevitably promised right away), there is one important circumstance. Namely, the ability of both sides not only to destroy each other physically but also to plunge each of the participants in the conflict into the Stone Age, killing the economy.
What can be destroyed in Israel?
There are 15 thermal power plants operating in the country. The key ones include the Orot Rabin Thermal Power Plant (2,605 MW), the largest power plant in Israel, the Rutenberg Thermal Power Plant (2,290 MW), the Eshkol Thermal Power Plant (1,693 MW), Hagit CCGT (1,394 MW), Gezer CCGT (1,336 MW), Ramat Hovav CCGT (1,137 MW), and the Haifa Thermal Power Plant (1,110 MW). These facilities are located close together: almost all of them are within a radius of 70-80 km from each other. On October 7, 2023, Hamas already attacked the Rutenberg Thermal Power Plant and even partially damaged it (and Hamas, mind you, is not the most technologically advanced organization without advanced missiles).
What can be destroyed in Iran?
Here, everything is much larger. There are more than ten key thermal power plants in the country alone, including Rudeshur, Qom, Ofoj, Shahad, and Zagros, on whose operations some industrial enterprises depend. There is also a nuclear power plant in Bushehr and a cascade of hydroelectric power plants that generate a significant amount of electricity. The Iranian power grid is partially more stable than the Israeli one and more balanced, but this does not mean that it is invulnerable to a missile attack. The only difference is that Iran can withstand a much larger attack due to both the size of its territories and the architecture of its power grid, while Israel will have a harder time surviving such a strike.
Taking into account the number of launches already registered and the technical needs of the attack such as the necessary saturation of the defensive system as well as the range, a plausible mix of the systems used by Iran would be:
- At least 100-120 medium-range ballistic missiles "Shahab-3A/B" (up to 1300/2500 km, respectively), including those with MIRVs based on 5 warheads with INS and GPS correction and a CEP of 0.2 and 0.03 km, respectively.
- Up to 30-50 Emad IRBMs, developed on the basis of the Shahab-3, but with an even lower CEP.
- 20-30 medium-range ballistic missiles "Ghadr-1" (up to 1950 km).
- At least 150 Soumar cruise missiles with a low-altitude flight profile in the altitude range of 100-30 m with a range of up to 1900-2300 km at a speed of 0.75-0.9 M, equipped with radar altimeters, INS and GPS correction radio navigation units.
- Up to 30 advanced IRBM "Khorramshahr" with a range of up to 2000 km.
- Up to 70-100 Dezful IRBMs with hypersonic detachable maneuvering warheads, with speeds of 7-5.5M at altitudes of 70-20 km and 4.5-3M at altitudes of 15-5 km.
Also, 300-400 Shahed-136 kamikaze UAVs may be deployed, designed to oversaturate the target channels of the Iron Dome SAM system and the onboard radars of the F-16I fighters, as well as the AN/APG-82(V)1 AESA radars installed on the American F-15E Strike Eagle, whose air wing is taking part in interception of Iranian air and space attack weapons.
