Jordan defending Israel vs Iranian ballistic missiles | Arma3:MilSim

Jordanians were shocked to look outside their windows late at night on April 13 and see balls of fire in the sky and remnants of drones crashing across the country. In the lead-up to the news breaking, Jordan had closed its airspace as a precautionary measure, and the Jordanian Air Force reportedly shot down dozens of Iranian drones headed for Israel. The Islamic Republic of Iran fired more than three hundred missiles and drones at the Jewish state after an Israeli airstrike killed two Iranian generals and others in Damascus nearly two weeks earlier. On April 14, Jordan’s cabinet confirmed that it had intercepted flying objects crossing the country’s airspace, while offering few additional details.

Former Jordanian Foreign Minister Marwan Muasher explained that downing the Iranian drones was designed to “prevent an escalation” and was in the country’s strategic interests. A full-scale Iran-Israel war would likely harm the Hashemite Kingdom, which is squeezed between the two more powerful adversaries.

Ordinary Jordanians offered a mixed reaction to the dramatic move. “A Jordanian who loves his homeland should rejoice that Jordan has the ability to intercept Iranian drones and ballistic missiles,” Madallah Nawarseh, a Jordanian activist, said on X (formerly Twitter). “This means that we are a country that possesses strong military capabilities and can defend its borders and airspace from Iran.”
