The Secret Missile War That Changed the Middle East | Grand Structures

On February 28th, an unprecedented campaign of coordinated airstrikes altered the geopolitical landscape of the Middle East in a matter of hours. Yet beneath the high-level strikes and leadership targets lay a high-tech air defense duel fought across hundreds of miles of airspace. In this documentary, we break down the engineering, radar mechanics, and military doctrine behind "The Interceptor War." Discover how Israel’s multi-tiered air defense network—Iron Dome, David's Sling, and the exo-atmospheric Arrow 3—confronted massive ballistic missile barrages, how the introduction of cluster warheads pushed radar tracking systems to their theoretical limits, and how naval Aegis destroyers formed a critical offshore buffer in one of modern history's most consequential aerial confrontations.
