The attacks employed cruise missiles and precision-guided bombs to neutralize Iranian radars and anti-aircraft batteries. Meanwhile, Iran activated Russian S-300 defense systems and electronic warfare networks to try to deflect the projectiles. Interference in GPS signals and communications in the area is reported. The use of kamikaze drones would also have been key in the initial offensive.
