Jericho-2 Nuclear Missile: Big revelations have come from leaked American confidential documents. These documents have revealed with which missile Israel was going to attack Iran. This is medium range ballistic missile Jericho-2. Israel was preparing to attack with this missile on 16 October 2024. However, these missiles do not carry nuclear warheads.
Israel was preparing to attack Iran through Jericho-2 using conventional weapons. There are three versions of Jericho in Israel. The range of these three is 500, 1500 and 4800 km. All three variants are of different size, range and speed. All three attack at hypersonic speed. That means Iran's air defense system cannot stop it.
When America refused to sell the Pershing-2 missile, Israel started developing the Jericho-2 missile. Jericho-2 has been in operation since 1989. It is included in Israel's nuclear arsenal. It is believed that this missile will be removed from the fleet in 2026. It is also possible that in the event of war, Israel will leave its entire arsenal of missiles to Iran and its enemies.
Now Jericho-3 is Israel's most powerful missile
Jericho-3 is an intercontinental ballistic missile. Can carry nuclear weapons. He has been deployed under Israeli security since 2011. Its weight is 30 thousand kilograms. It is 15.5 meters long and can carry a weapon weighing 1300 kg. Its range is 11,500 km.
Talking about Jericho-2 MRBM, its weight is 26 thousand kilograms and length is 14 meters. A warhead weighing 1000 kg can be installed in it. Its range is 1500 to 2000 km. Both missiles are capable of carrying conventional (non-nuclear) and nuclear warheads.
When did America know about Israel's nuclear program?
In the 1960s, Israel was running its own secret nuclear program. Its details were given to the US government by an American corporate officer. This revelation has come after many years of secret operation. Israel has always pursued a policy of nuclear ambiguity. Nor will he say that we have nuclear weapons. Nor will he deny it. But Israel is counted among the nuclear weapon-rich countries of the world.
What is the special difference between the missiles of the two countries?
Israel's Jericho-3 missile has a long range. Its range is more than Iran's longest range Khorramshahr missile. If we talk about accuracy, the accuracy of Iran's missiles is better because it has an advanced guidance system. Israel has a multi-layered air defense system. Whereas Iran has very little such power. This means that Israel can survive even a war with missiles. Iran, on the other hand, has little chance of survival.
