were one-way uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs).</p> <p>That is the assessment of US defence officials, who provided their summary of the 13 April barrage during remarks at the Pentagon on 15 April. </p> <p>“99% of those were knocked down,” said Pentagon press secretary Major General Pat Ryder on 15 April.</p> <p>Israeli military authorities put the number of weapons fired even higher, estimating some 350 projectiles. The Israeli air force (IAF) says “only a few” missiles penetrated the air defence measures, causing “minor damage” to the country’s Nabatim air base in the Negev Desert.</p> <p>“The function of Nabatim base was not affected, the planes continued to take off and land and fulfill the defence and attack missions,” the IAF said on 14 April.</p> <p>The service released <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20240416045122/https://twitter.com/IAFsite/status/1779525724166082742" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>gun camera footage</strong></a> showing Israeli pilots intercepting and destroying what it claims are UAVs and cruise missiles launched during the attack.

He declines to provide specific details, including type or number of aircraft involved.</p> <p>However, Ryder does confirm that land- and sea-based fighters took part in the interdiction.</p> <p>The White House provided an additional hint, releasing a video on 15 April showing President Joe Biden speaking to members of the US Air Force’s 335th Fighter Squadron and 494th Fighter Squadron, with the president commending the aviators for their role in defending against the attack.</p> <p>Both squadrons operate the Boeing F-15E fourth-generation multi-role fighter.</p> <p>The 494th is based at RAF Lakenheath in the UK, while the 335th is stationed at Seymour Johnson AFB in North Carolina.</p> <p>US Central Command (CENTCOM), which oversees military operations in the Middle East, said on 14 April that its forces destroyed at least 80 Iranian attack drones and six ballistic missiles.</p> <p>“This includes a ballistic missile on its launcher vehicle and seven UAVs destroyed on the ground in Iranian-backed Houthi controlled areas of Yemen prior to their launch,” CENTCOM says.</p> <p>The defence-in-depth also featured two US Navy guided missile destroyers, according to the Tampa, Florida-based headquarters. CENTCOM commander General Michael Kurilla made an in-person visit to Israel just days before the attack.</p> <p>Ryder notes that additional military assets had been moved into the Middle East region ahead of the attack, for which Iran claims it provided advanced warning.</p> <p>Tehran says it communicated to Washington through diplomatic back channels that US forces and facilities would not be targeted.</p> <p>The Pentagon appeared to take issue with that characterisation, while not outright contradicting Tehran’s claims.</p> <p>“We were not given specifics by Iran,” Ryder says, specifically noting a lack of exact time or date. “Iran did not tell us when and where they were going to attack,” he adds.</p> <p>When asked how defending against such a large attack impacted the regional stock of US and Israeli air defence and air-to-air munitions, Ryder declined to answer citing security concerns about “readiness levels”.</p> <p>Tehran has publicly said it plans no further action against Israel, considering the matter closed. Israel has vowed to retaliate but has not offered specifics.</p> <p>Senior US leaders, including President Biden, have reportedly told their Israeli counterparts that Washington will not assist in any offensive action.</p></div><div id="storytext-end" class="storytext-end"></div> </div> </div> <div class="htmlContent"> <div
