The third world war - the great and historic turning point
We will begin the following information with one simple question -
What is the amazing data that changes everything in the current world war?
And yes, this is a world war - here is a list of the involved countries
United States, Israel, Iran, Russia, Ukraine, Turkey, Jordan, Greece, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iraq, Azerbaijan, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, Lebanon
Let's return to the data that defines this entire war:
Interceptions
In the great wars of the 20th century - from World War II to the Middle East wars of the 1970s - a missile launched at a target almost always hit.
Today the reality is the opposite.
Note the unprecedented official data coming to us from the IDF, Sanctum, and official defense bodies of Arab countries -
The overall interception rate is estimated at over 90% success!
Broken down by type of interception - ballistic missiles, the successful interception rate is estimated at about 90%.
Successful drone interceptions are estimated at a much higher number, close to 99% success!
A Guardian report earlier this week from the United Arab Emirates reveals astonishing data:
The United Arab Emirates successfully intercepted 161 out of 174 ballistic missiles launched towards the country - while the rest fell into the sea.
Out of a total of 689 Iranian drones - 645 were intercepted and eight cruise missiles were destroyed.
Similar data comes from Qatar - its Ministry of Defense reported shooting down 2 Iranian fighter jets, 3 cruise missiles, 98 out of 101 ballistic missiles, and 24 out of 39 drones.
Behind these amazing numbers stand several interception systems:
Iron Dome, David's Sling, Arrow, Patriot, THAAD, SkyHunter.
And in all of them - deep involvement of American arms companies in the supply chains.
We investigated the matter - here are the findings:
The first company - RTX - $RTX. RTX is a key partner in the production of the Israeli Iron Dome systems - in fact, most of the components for Tamir missiles are manufactured through RTX's American supply chain.
The company holds a $1.25 billion contract for the supply of Tamir missiles to Israel.
It is a partner in the development of David's Sling systems and manufactures the complete launch units for SkyHunter.
In addition - it is also a partner in the production of Patriot interception systems together with Lockheed Martin.
The second company - Boeing $BA. Boeing is a key partner in the development of the Arrow systems - (and also in offensive systems - we will elaborate on that another time).
The third company - Lockheed Martin $LMT. Lockheed Martin is the primary manufacturer of the THAAD defense systems (which were also deployed in Israel during the 12-day war).
Just last January, the company updated on a fourfold increase in production - from 96 to 400 interceptors per year!
Lockheed is also the primary manufacturer of PAC-3 MSE - the main Patriot interceptor.
The company reached an agreement with the Ministry of Defense on a dramatic increase in the production of interceptors from 600 units to 2000 units per year!
The fourth company is L3Harris - $LHX. The company is a critical supplier to Lockheed - and holds a contract of approximately $400 million (as of February 2026) for the production of solid rocket motors for THAAD systems.
Additional companies in the supply chain: Northrop Grumman $NOC - supplies electronic components, radars, and subsystems for THAAD and Patriot.
Honeywell Systems $HON - supplies electronic components and engines for American systems.
These unprecedented interception data reveal a profound change in the nature of wars
In the past, offensive power - missiles, aircraft, and artillery - was the main component that decided wars.
Today, a new reality is developing where defense systems are becoming the key layer on the battlefield.
Countries that fail to build a multi-layered air defense system may find themselves completely exposed in an era where any country can launch hundreds or even thousands of missiles and drones.
