BREAKING: Iran’s Missile Barrage Collapses: Regime Nears Depletion After Just Five Days
Tehran’s once-massive retaliatory strikes are crumbling fast. Ballistic missile launches have plunged 89%โfrom around 350 on Day 1 (February 28, 2026) to a mere 40 by Day 5โthanks to relentless U.S. and Israeli airstrikes that have obliterated launch sites and stockpiles.
Drone swarms followed the same pattern: peaking at over 500 on Day 2 before crashing to just 45 by Day 5, as coalition air defenses adapted and hunted mobile launchers with precision.
Western officials and CENTCOM confirm the trend: Iran’s theater ballistic missile fire rate is down 86% overall since the conflict began, with a sharp 23% drop in the last 24 hours alone. Drone attacks have fallen 73% from opening levels.
The regime’s early furyโover 500 missiles and thousands of drones in the first daysโproduced limited results. High interception rates (92-95% in many cases) kept most strikes at bay, though debris and fragments caused 12 deaths across UAE, Bahrain, and Kuwait.
With launchers systematically destroyed and production facilities hammered, Iran’s ability to sustain meaningful barrages appears exhausted. The mullahs’ arsenal, once feared as endless, is running dryโfast.
