Sechster Nahostkrieg

[Nightwatch]

29.000 Abwürfe in 60 Tagen = 480 Abwürfe pro Tag = ca. 150 Sorties
Das durchschnittliche Gewicht pro Bombe müsste deutlich unter einer Tonne liegen.

The Israeli Air Force (IAF) maintains a limited number of serviceable combat aircraft in long-term storage. But, more significantly, mobilization of reserves allows the IAF to achieve a uniquely high aircrew-to-aircraft ratio, as emergency posting and reserve aircrew supplement those in active service. These supplementary aircrews serve within squadrons irrespective of rank. The resulting wartime aircrew-to-aircraft ratio of about 2.5:1.0 allows the IAF to achieve a uniquely high planned sustained wartime daily sortie rate of seven per F-16 and five per F-15. This rate is achievable out to a maximum range of about 800 km. Beyond this range, the number of daily sorties that can be generated by each aircraft becomes constrained by the cumulative flight hours required to complete successive long-range sorties.

Continuous, high-intensity, sustained 24/7 flight operations also depends on the mobilization of large numbers of supplementary reserve ground support personnel. It is estimated that the currently active fast jet F-15/16/35 squadrons of the IAF can almost immediately sustain the generation of about 620 short-range combat sorties per day. When fully mobilized, these same squadrons can sustain the generation of about 1,600-1,800 short-range sorties per day. It is estimated that, given adequate strategic warning, the IAF could reactivate two very large squadrons employing recently deactivated and stored F-16A/Bs and A-4Ns. These two squadrons could generate as many as 400 additional sustained short-range daily sorties. However, as time passes, the ability of the IAF to employ these stored aircraft will inevitably decline.
The current availability of Israeli F-35A stealth aircraft is likely to be substantially lower than that of other Israeli combat aircraft. Moreover, the stealthy F-35A cannot sustain a high daily sortie rate because of the need to repair its mission-critical low RCS coating, which reportedly requires 24 hours for maintenance and curing after about five sorties. Consequently, it is likely that the declared total of 20 stealthy F-35As currently in IAF service will be operated primarily as niche aircraft.
The number of air-to-ground weapons that can be delivered by each F-15 or F-16 sortie will depend on the range to the target and the size of the weapon required to neutralize that target. Aircraft wing pylons can typically be used to mount an under wing fuel drop tank or a single large precision-guided weapon, or up to four smaller guided weapons. Israeli F-15Is can each deliver up to seven 2,000-pound guided weapons per sortie and Israeli F-16s up to four. When armed with smaller guided weapons, they can respectively deliver up to 32 or 18 individually guided 250-pound weapons per sortie. The IAF istherefore capable of delivering many thousands of precision-guided munitions per day. Consequently, it is estimated that Israeli fast jet squadrons can neutralize 3,000-5,000 individual targets per day, or even more, depending on the type and number of air-delivered weapons required to destroy each target

Ich gehe davon aus, dass die IAF hier in weiten Teilen die überschüssigen Munitionsbestände aus dem WRSA-I eingesetzt hat. Stichwort M117.
Im Zusammenhang mit der Entnahme der 155mm Artilleriemunition für die Ukraine hieß es dazu:

The current stockpile is full of so-called dumb munitions (those without sophisticated guidance systems), such as the 155-mm rounds and thousands of “iron bombs” that are simply dropped from aircraft so gravity can do its work. One reason Israel is comfortable with withdrawing the 155-mm rounds is that this will free up space for precision-guided munitions, which is about all the Israeli air force uses.

244 US cargo planes, 20 ships deliver over 10,000 tons of military equipment to Israel — report
"Also citing the figure of 10,000 tons, it said the military equipment delivered to Israel since the beginning of the war included “armored vehicles, armaments, personal protective equipment, medical supplies, ammunition, and more.”
