New Interception Totals - All Systems March 5 2026
New official and open-source updates released March 5 2026 provide the latest 24-hour cumulative totals for every confirmed interception system against Iranian ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and drones since the escalation began February 28 2026. Fresh data now includes further UAE THAAD/Patriot activity, continued record Kuwaiti Patriot ballistic intercepts, additional Bahrain and Qatar engagements plus new Israeli Arrow-3 successes and IAF airborne drone kills. Aircraft intercepts remain strictly drone-only; no defensive drone-vs-drone successes and no ballistic missile intercepts by aircraft have been reported.

● All new figures are strictly from March 5 statements only
→ Ground systems continue to handle 100% of ballistic intercepts; aircraft limited to drones
