What Air Superiority Looks Like in Modern Warfare

A devastating Israeli air campaign is rewriting the rules of warfare in the Middle East. In a conflict Tehran once promised would reshape the region, the reality unfolding is one of staggering military collapse. Within hours, Israel seized total air superiority over western Iran, dismantling radar sites, missile systems, and airfields in a series of precision strikes. Iran’s inability to protect even its most vital assets has left its leadership scrambling to salvage what remains of its deterrent capability. What began as a retaliatory exchange is quickly transforming into a one-sided rout—one that may reshape the balance of power across the entire Middle East.
