Somebody posted in maybe the WW3 thread that the kinetic energy of a ballistic missile is a significant portion of its destructive force.

That's the entire portion of its destructive force. What do you think a ballistic missile does?

Iran has actual air defenses though, and the US will absolutely poo poo a brick if an F35 gets shot down

someone a few days back said the media will continue to be watertight / lockstep through any escalation which was correct, tonight they all went with “almost all intercepted” and “minimal damage”

“The US’s assessment tonight was that almost all of the drones and missiles – including more than 100 ballistic missiles -- launched by Iran had been knocked out of the sky. No cruise missile made impact, the official said, and nothing of “value” was hit.”

like I just watched at least 5 of these afterburner ones hit from some random Twitter video

the statement was 100% accurate for certain definitions of 'of value'

A senior Israeli source quoted by Channel 12 says “Iran’s attack was a strategic failure.”

“Now they can get ready and not sleep in peace,” the source adds threateningly.

Isn't ballistic referring to it's flight path since there exist nuclear tipped inter Continental ballistic missiles which would certainly be more powerful than the kinetic energy

Probably not, similar dynamics at play here as in the Ukraine war where Israel and its western allies have every incentive to downplay the severity of the attack while Iran has every incentive to play up the destruction it caused. All we can say definitively for now is that a portion of the missiles and drones connected with their targets and overwhelmed at least some sections of Israeli air defense. The actual extent of the damage is going to be unknown for quite a while.

This is it for now. Time will tell if Israel does something incredibly stupid in response or if it'll be a Desert Storm situation and Israel refrains from responding. Probably the former.

Ah never thought about it! Very rough estimate for energy density of high explosives is 1-10kcal per gram, so say a 2000kg warhead traveling at 5km/s has a kinetic energy of 25GJ and chemical energy of 8-80GJ. Neat!
That quickly goes down as the vehicle comes in slower though: 1km/s is already a 25th of that energy

Israel is gonna eat a strategic defeat that will make 1967 look like a minor setback. theres no way israel will be able to repair their deterrence, sense of security or reputation.
