How powerful is the USA and how long will Iran be able to withstand the air strikes? Military and defense expert Dorothee Frank gives an assessment in an interview with FOCUS online.
For a week The USA uses its great military force against Iran a. Over 120 US fighter jets have been deployed to the region, and a huge fleet of warships and submarines with Tomahawk missiles are in use. Over 200 destinations in Iran have already been attacked in the high-tech air war. The drone attacks from Iran, on the other hand, are slowly decreasing, according to Dorothee Frank, an expert in military technology and defense. In an interview with FOCUS online, she answers how powerful the USA actually is and how long Iran will hold out.
“The USA is just a completely different level”
“The USA continues to be the largest world power there is, both in terms of weapons systems, ammunition and other resources – including human resources. Scientific resources. The USA is simply on a completely different level. China could be on the same level. Russia should not be underestimated either, but Iran is in a completely different league.”
In addition, one should not forget, the military expert continued: “The USA is not alone. They continue to work together. Especially them Israeli armed forces are very strong, very modern, very sustainable. At the same time, other nations are also involved. There could be more to come. So, I see a very clear imbalance.”
“Drone attacks from Iran have decreased by 70 to 80 percent”
Her forecast for the duration of the Iran conflict: “I actually see Iran actually collapsing within the next few days to weeks at the most.”
Because, says Frank: “You can see just in these few days – the war hasn’t been going on for that long – the attacks by Iran have decreased significantly. There are statistics. The United Arab Emirates and others have shown that drone attacks from Iran have decreased by around 70 to 80 percent. So now there are only around 20 to 30 percent of the number of drones that were launched at the beginning of the war. The USA said the same for missiles. The number of declines is also around that about 80 percent.” In just a few days, Iran has reached such a limit that “significantly fewer attacks can be carried out against the surrounding states and against Israel and against US bases.”
