That's a very different class of target. Israel is not intercepting anything that measures velocity in km/s.


The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) estimate the missile traveled over 1,500 kilometers from Iran to Israel in roughly 12 minutes, reaching a speed of approximately 7,500 km/h, or roughly Mach 6.

The ~100 Emad ballistic missiles Iran fired would be in in that class.


They have been scoring exoatmospheric interceptions on missiles fired at them from Yemen. What velocity do you think those targets had?
