200 mobile launchers destroyed in Iran. This is roughly 50% of Iran’s operational launcher fleet at the start of the current campaign.
Iran missile stockpile was 3000, inventory estimate 1500-2500 (500 fired).
Esfahan North Missile Base (near Najafabad, Esfahan Province) — at least one launcher + missile storage facility destroyed.
Iran increasingly relies on cheaper drones over ballistic missiles ( UAE intercepted 541 drones vs. only 165 ballistic. similar ratios in Kuwait/Bahrain).
IRGC units now described as independent and somewhat isolated (Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi’s own words).
Interception rates remain 80–95%+ in defended areas. Salvo size/tempo collapse (clearest real-time indicator).
Feb 28 (day 1): over 20 distinct ballistic barrages toward Israel.
March 1: Only 4 distinct barrages — a sharp drop directly attributed by ISW/CTP analysts to launcher losses and C2 (leadership deaths) disruption.
The analogy is that the US and Israeli military are using the Omni Man versus Red Rush strategy.
