The United States said it had destroyed several Iranian mobile missile launchers that were camouflaged as trucks, in an attempt to make them difficult to identify on the battlefield.
One video released by US Central Command (CENTCOM) shows the moment these platforms are detected and hit by precision weapons.
According to the American military, Iran used this method to hide the launchers while carrying out attacks against countries in the region. Despite the attempted disguise, surveillance and monitoring systems managed to track the vehicles and guide attacks that neutralized the threats.
The operations are part of a broader campaign to reduce Iran’s missile and drone launch capabilities. According to Washington, the offensive has been gradually expanded to deeper areas of Iranian airspace, while Israeli Air Force aircraft are also participating in the destruction of ballistic missile launchers.

American authorities claim that, in just four days of operations, the attacks reduced drone launches by 73% and ballistic missile fire from Iran by 86%. At the beginning of the clashes, on February 28, around 350 missiles were fired at Israel, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Qatar, a number that progressively fell in the following days after the attacks on the launch pads.
