Jordan issues stern warning regarding missiles amid regional threats
Director of Military Media in the Jordanian Armed Forces, Brigadier General Mustafa Al-Hayari, warned of the serious dangers posed by missiles and drones penetrating Jordanian airspace, stressing that such incidents directly threaten the Kingdom's security and the safety of its citizens.
He stated that failure to intercept these threats is 'absolutely unacceptable' as it constitutes a clear violation of Jordan's national sovereignty, according to the Jordan News Agency (Petra).
Al-Hayari explained that some ballistic missiles are programmed to discard excess parts, such as fuel tanks, after depletion, which could cause them to fall over populated areas in Jordan.
He added that cruise missiles and drones rely on electronic guidance systems, which can be disrupted or misled, increasing the risk of them striking unintended targets, including Jordanian cities or critical infrastructure.
There is also a possibility that missiles or drones may fall short of their targets due to technical issues or fuel exhaustion, making their fall within Jordanian territory a real risk.
Brig. Gen. Al-Hayari emphasized that these technical factors necessitate an immediate response to any potential aerial threat. He affirmed that the Jordanian Armed Forces are fully prepared to intercept any object that violates the Kingdom's airspace to protect national sovereignty and public safety.
