I think the difference in speed in the video is just perspective + distance, plust Iran has many different types of balistic missiles. I mean, technically speaking many balistic missiles do go at hypersonic speeds, but that’s not what people mean when they say hypersonic missile, they refer to missiles that fly very low at hypersonic speed and can maneuver before hitting their target. You can clearly see the balistic trajectory of these missiles.
I’m no expert, but usually when missiles “go ballistic” their engines turn off and they have limited maneuvering capability at the end of their flight.
This one looks like it had engines on all the way to the target, which is a fairly newer class of design.
I mean I’m no expert either but you can see this characteristic burning on most ICBM videos, it’s just the reentry vehicle reaching insane temperatures.
I don’t know if anyone has any real information but I’d think Iran would be shooting air bases and such. Targets that hurt Israel’s ability to hurt Iran. Israel’s command probably cares less about a residential building (full of people or empty) than a hangar with F35s.
Iran are definitely targeting air bases and other militarized targets which are regions Israel has a media blackout on so we don’t hear about them as much and only hear about impacts in Tel-Aviv which is a militarized “civilian” zone (human shields was always projection of their own policies).
Woah, that’s nuts. I feel like most missiles don’t reach target in Israel. Maybe that’s cause most are aimed at Jerusalem and the Iron Dome though?
The slower ones frequently get intercepted, but every time I see one land it is those hypersonic fast ones.
I doubt Iran has any real hypersonic missiles, these are probably just balistic missiles.
You can definitely see a difference in speed between the missiles. Occasionally a slower missile lands as well.

Since Israel bombed the Iranian oil refinery and airport, Iran has started targeting Israeli power plants, ports and other infrastructure.
israel has military infrastructure in the middle of residential areas.
