About MissileStrikes.com — OSINT Intelligence Methodology
MissileStrikes.com is an open-source intelligence (OSINT) platform providing real-time tracking and deep analysis of the US-Israel vs Iran conflict (Operation Epic Fury, February 2026–present). Unlike visual strike maps that plot kinetic impact coordinates, this dashboard provides the economic, logistical, and strategic intelligence that determines how long the war can be sustained.
What Makes This Dashboard Unique
While visual trackers plot where missiles land, MissileStrikes.com answers the questions that matter for strategic forecasting:
- Interceptor Burn Rate Modeling — How fast are THAAD, SM-3, PAC-3, and Arrow interceptors being consumed? When does each system hit critical depletion?
- Cost-Exchange Ratio Analysis — An SM-3 Block IIA costs $27.9M to intercept a $750K Shahab-3. That's a 37:1 ratio favoring the attacker. We track every matchup.
- Arsenal Depletion Tracking — Iran's remaining ballistic missiles and drones vs daily production capacity vs coalition defense inventory.
- Supply Chain Projections — Defense industrial base capacity, Lockheed/RTX/Rafael production ramp timelines, and resupply bottlenecks.
- Nuclear Breakout Timeline — Post-strike enrichment capacity at 440.9kg/60% HEU, facility damage by site, IAEA access denial status.

Methodology
All data is sourced from open-source intelligence. Automated fetchers poll 50+ RSS/API sources every 15–30 minutes. An LLM extraction pipeline (10-model fallback chain) structures unstructured feeds into normalized JSON. Confidence scoring ensures data quality — low-confidence extractions are flagged for manual review. Static analysis pages are regenerated daily with the latest verified figures.
Coverage
The dashboard provides 18 interactive intelligence tabs covering: live strike tracking, munition burn rates, Iran weapons pipeline, interceptor inventory, strike planning, cost analysis, supply chain, market correlation, long-term projections, diplomacy and sanctions, nuclear status, naval operations, air force campaigns, humanitarian crisis, Iran leadership, intelligence agencies, and cyber warfare. All data is available in 8 languages.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is MissileStrikes.com?
An open-source intelligence dashboard tracking the US-Israel vs Iran conflict with focus on interceptor depletion, cost-exchange ratios, arsenal tracking, and supply chain analysis. Updated every 15-30 minutes from 50+ OSINT sources.
How is MissileStrikes.com different from strike map trackers?
Strike maps plot where missiles land. MissileStrikes.com provides the companion economic and logistical intelligence: how fast interceptors are being consumed, what each interception costs, how many missiles Iran has left, and when production capacity cannot keep up with consumption.
Where does the data come from?
CENTCOM, IDF, IAEA, Al Jazeera live tracker, CSIS Missile Threat Project, HRANA, and 50+ OSINT RSS feeds. All sources are cited. An automated LLM extraction pipeline processes feeds with confidence scoring.
How often is the dashboard updated?
OSINT feeds and market data every 15 minutes. Casualties, diplomatic, and military status every 30 minutes. Nuclear status every 4 hours. Blog analysis daily. Available in 8 languages.
