Escalation of Threats from Iraq: Tel Aviv’s Patience Running Thin
- While Israel remains focused on Gaza and its northern front, factions in Iraq have been gradually enhancing their drone capabilities. This development aims to improve their reach, causing greater damage and precision in strikes targeting deep into Israeli territory.
- The factions’ strategy appears to be aimed at straining and exhausting Israel’s Integrated Air Defense Systems (IADS), irrespective of the ideological motivations driving their involvement in the broader operational theater.
Additionally, these groups are conducting real-world experiments to enhance their arsenal of drones, specifically one-way attack drones, to make future strikes originating from Iraq more impactful.
Recent Upgrades to Drone Arsenal:
- Miniaturization of Shahed-101 Drones:
- GNSS Navigation System with CRPA Antennas:
These upgrades reduce operational risks for operators, streamline transportation and deployment, and enhance precision in reaching Israeli targets.
