Iranian Strikes on Israel
Justin Bronk, an expert on air power at the UK’s Royal United Services Institute think tank, said this could be a problem for Israel. “Israel would be limited in terms of standoff munitions in any SEAD/DEAD campaign against Iran, having only the older Delilah and air-launched ballistic Rampage which have limitations in terms of lacking low-observable signature and being relatively susceptible to electronic warfare degradation compared to the latest US-made standoff cruise missiles and AARGM-ER,” he says, referring to a weapon that seeks out radar beams at long range.
