Israel has reportedly destroyed all four Russian-made S-300 missile batteries, as well as taking out radar systems needed to guide Iran's ballistic missiles.
Israel’s two strikes against Iran’s air defense system this year have left the country vulnerable to future attacks, with all four of Tehran’s Russian-made S-300 missile batteries having been destroyed, Fox News reported on Tuesday.
On April 19, Israel took out one of the S-300 systems in response to Tehran’s first-ever direct attack against the Jewish state. On Oct. 26, in response to a second Iranian attack, Israel targeted 20 sites in Iran in multiple waves of strikes, destroying the remaining three.
“The majority of Iran’s air defense was taken out,” a senior Israeli official told Fox News.
