Iran has fired ~300 ballistic missiles at Israel — rate steadily slowing; IDF destroyed 65% of launchers

Iran has launched approximately 300 ballistic missiles at Israel since the war began on February 28, with the daily rate steadily declining over 11 days. The breakdown by day reveals a clear pattern of attrition: on Day 1 (February 28), Iran fired approximately 90 ballistic missiles toward Israel in a massive opening salvo following the US-Israeli strikes. On Day 2 (March 1), the number dropped to around 60. Over the following six days (Days 3-8), roughly 20 missiles were fired each day in multiple smaller salvos, each consisting of a small number of projectiles. On Days 9 and 10 (Sunday and Monday), fewer than 20 missiles were launched on each day, also in small salvos or single missiles. The IDF confirmed it has destroyed or disabled more than 300 Iranian ballistic missile launchers — representing approximately 65% of Iran's total launcher stockpile as estimated at the start of the war. Iran was estimated to possess approximately 2,500 ballistic missiles at the start of the war, though it is unclear how many remain operational. The steady decline in daily missile fire — from 90 on Day 1 to fewer than 20 by Day 10 — is consistent with launcher attrition, crew losses, logistical disruption from IDF strikes on missile command HQs, and increasing difficulty coordinating salvos under air attack. Iran has also launched hundreds more ballistic missiles at other countries in the Middle East (Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, UAE) during the conflict.
