Since the beginning of the joint US-Israeli military operation against Iran, the Persian Gulf countries have deployed unprecedented air defense capabilities to repel massive attacks. According to consolidated statistics, throughout the entire escalation, the allies managed to intercept 518 ballistic missiles and 1129 unmanned aerial vehicles of various types. Kuwait's defense systems bore the heaviest burden, reporting the successful destruction of 178 ballistic missiles and 384 drones. Notably, official Kuwaiti reports completely omit mention of the recent downing of three American fighter jets by "friendly fire," which may indicate the agency's desire to focus exclusively on countering external threats.

The United Arab Emirates also demonstrated the high effectiveness of its air defenses, claiming to have intercepted 169 of 182 launched Iranian missiles. At the same time, the UAE military command acknowledged that 13 missiles fell in the sea, and 44 drones managed to overcome the defense and reach their intended targets, despite the destruction of 645 other drones. Over Bahrain, 70 missiles and 76 drones were destroyed. Qatar's report of intercepting 101 of 104 detected missiles drew particular attention. Qatari air defense forces and aircraft also reported the destruction of 24 of 39 drones and, most significantly, the downing of two Iranian Su-24 frontline bombers. The data presented demonstrates the extremely high intensity of combat operations in the region's airspace and the colossal consumption of anti-aircraft ammunition, which confirms previously reported information about the critical depletion of Patriot missile stocks at key bases.
