Iran Still Firing Missiles At U.S. Military Bases Is Worse Than You Think

About this video

Max analyzes recent Iranian ballistic missile strikes on a Kuwaiti airbase during a ceasefire in a hypothetical 2026 scenario. He explains how Iran’s missile capabilities have been degraded but remain a threat, describes the layered U.S. air defense systems in place, and uses an analogy to characterize Iran’s current strike effectiveness despite high interception rates.

Key takeaways

• Max describes how Iran’s ballistic missile capacity has been significantly reduced from 100 launches per day to about a dozen, with declining stockpiles
• According to Max, current air defense systems achieve a 92% interception rate using THAAD, Patriot PAC-3, and SM-3 missiles, though the remaining 8% can still cause damage
• Max recounts that even partial interceptions can result in casualties and equipment damage, as occurred at Ali Al Salem airbase in his scenario
