Iran's ballistic capabilities have been thrust into the international spotlight after a targeted attack on the US-British strategic base on Diego Garcia, some 4,000 kilometers from Iranian territory.
According to recent estimates, Iranian missiles could have a range of up to 4,500 kilometers, higher than previous estimates of around 3,000 kilometers.
If this range is confirmed, missiles launched from western Iran could theoretically reach large areas of Western Europe, as far south as England. So with the new range, Albania is in the "eye of the cyclone."
However, European countries rely on an extensive NATO air defense network, which includes radar systems in Turkey, Aegis Ashore installations in Romania and Poland, as well as allied naval presences in the Mediterranean.
The main defense systems include SM-3 interceptors, which aim to neutralize missiles outside the atmosphere through direct strikes, as well as the THAAD and Patriot systems, which are used for the final stages of interception.
