Why Qatar’s Air Defence Was Caught Napping As Israel Launched Strikes On Hamas Leaders In Doha

Описание: Israel’s precision strike on Hamas leaders in Doha has triggered a storm of questions about Qatar’s much-vaunted air defense systems. The September 9 attack, which killed six and leveled a villa in one of Doha’s most secure neighborhoods, exposed what many see as glaring vulnerabilities in the Gulf state’s defenses. Despite boasting one of the most advanced fighter fleets in the region, including Rafales, Typhoons, and U.S.-made F-15QAs, Qatar failed to mount any response, even though the area houses embassies and schools and hosts over 10,000 U.S. troops at Al-Udeid Airbase, the forward HQ of the U.S. CENTCOM. Analysts suggest Israel may have exploited gaps in Qatar’s reliance on U.S. early-warning systems, using electronic warfare, radar jamming, or cyber intrusion to suppress defenses. Others point to stealth aircraft and long-range precision munitions. While Doha has invested billions to project military strength, the strike is being seen as a major operational success for Israel and a reputational blow to Qatar.
