Explained: Why IDF Never Used Hypersonic Missiles on Iran & Yemen| Unbelievable Details [Video]

Explained: Why IDF Never Used Hypersonic Missiles on Iran & Yemen| Unbelievable Details

Following the Israeli Air Force's (IAF) massive 'Operation Black Flag' air campaign across Yemen, a significant question has emerged: With global powers like Russia, China, and North Korea racing to deploy hypersonic missiles, why does Israel, a military powerhouse, continue to rely on conventional fighter jets? This report delves into the core of Israel's military doctrine to uncover the answer. The analysis reveals that Israel's strategic decision is not a sign of weakness, but a calculated choice based on its unique geopolitical reality. The IAF's elite fleet, including advanced F-15, F-16, and F-35 fighter jets, offers unparalleled flexibility and precision for striking nearby threats in Gaza, Yemen, or Iran. Unlike hypersonic missiles, which are designed for targets thousands of kilometers away, jets allow for real-time target adjustments, significantly reducing collateral damage against groups like the Houthis. This adaptability was proven during the 2025 strikes on Iranian sites. #Israel #IAF #IsraeliAirForce #HypersonicMissile #IsraelMilitaryStrategy #Israel #Yemen #Houthi #IDF #MissileStrike #MiddleEastConflict #IsraelDefenseForces #HouthiMissiles #IsraelVsHouthi #MissileAlert #RedAlert #Hebron #EinGedi #DeadSea #WestBank #IsraelUnderAttack #IsraelNews #IranCeasefire #MilitaryStrike #IsraelKatz Also Read Israel PM Netanyahu Faces Anger, And Tears In First Visit To Nir Oz Since Oct 7 Gaza Massacre :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/benjamin-netanyahu-visits-nir-oz-kibbutz-near-gaza-strip-011-7791019.html?ref=DMDesc Iran Casts Doubt on Israel's Ceasefire Commitment, Warns of Retaliation :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/iran-casts-doubt-on-israels-ceasefire-commitment-warns-of-retaliation-011-7786853.html?ref=DMDesc 'You Got Beat To Hell': Donald Trump On Iran's Victory Claim :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/you-got-beat-to-hell-donald-trump-on-irans-victory-claim-7785327.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.102~HT.408~GR.124~

Putin’s Nuclear Warning? US Tracks Possible Test of Russia’s ‘Unlimited-Range’ Missile |WW3 Brewing?

The U.S. Air Force has deployed its top-secret WC‑135R “Nuke Sniffer” aircraft near Russia’s northwestern nuclear bases—just days after Donald Trump showcased a nuclear-capable submarine. The aircraft, designed to detect radiation in the atmosphere, circled over the Barents Sea for nearly 14 hours, raising alarm over possible preparations by Russia to test its infamous 9M730 Burevestnik (Skyfall) nuclear-powered cruise missile. #Russia #USA #NukeSniffer #SkyfallMissile #Burevestnik #NuclearWar #WW3 #Putin #Trump #NovayaZemlya #INFtreaty #USAirForce #BarentsSea #Geopolitics #MilitaryTension #NuclearAlert #ConstantPhoenix #BreakingNews #DefenseWatch ~HT.318~GR.122~PR.152~

JAW-DROPPING VIDEO: Delta Pilot DODGES Midair Disaster As B-52 Bomber Crosses Flight Path

A Delta Connection flight operated by SkyWest narrowly avoided disaster when its pilot was forced to perform an "aggressive maneuver" to dodge a U.S. Air Force B-52 bomber near Minot, North Dakota. The Embraer E175 was descending toward Minot International Airport when the massive B-52 Stratofortress unexpectedly appeared in its flight path. The pilot swerved sharply to avoid collision, later apologizing to passengers and admitting the situation caught him by surprise. A viral audio clip revealed the pilot’s stress and frustration at the lack of warning, citing that the Air Force base should’ve coordinated better. Passengers described the experience as terrifying but remained oddly calm until they learned the truth. The flight circled the airport several times before safely landing. The U.S. Air Force has yet to issue a statement, while SkyWest has confirmed an investigation is underway. Minot AFB houses B-52s and strategic missile wings. #DeltaAirlines #B52Bomber #NearMiss #MidairIncident #SkyWest #MinotAirport #PilotHero #FlightEmergency #USAirForce #BreakingNews #FlightSafety #MinotAFB #AviationNews #MilitaryMishap #EmbraerE175 #AirForceBomber #ViralPilotAudio #AirportGoAround #AirspaceCloseCall #PassengerPanic Also Read New Yorks Highest Court Upholds Ban on Chokeholds by Police :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/new-york-city-chokehold-ban-upheld-by-highest-court-gen-3686947.html?ref=DMDesc "Minneapolis - Nawabi HYDERABAD HOUSE Grand OPENING" :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/minneapolis-nawabi-hyderabad-house-grand-opening-2677237.html?ref=DMDesc 5 shot in US at rally over death of black man: Police :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/5-shot-in-us-at-rally-over-death-of-black-man-police-1936144.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.194~HT.408~GR.124~
