Iran Daily Ordnance Tracker — by Country

Every confirmed official count of Iranian missiles and drones launched at each target country, for each day of the conflict. All figures from Ministry of Defence statements, government social posts, and secondary compilations (JINSA, CTP-ISW, FDD Long War Journal) that cite official sources. No Iranian government, IRGC, or Iranian state-media sources used at any point.

This report compiles every confirmed official count of Iranian missiles and drones launched at each target country, for each day of the conflict, spanning Days 1–22 (28 February through 21 March 2026). Where a country's MoD published a cumulative figure at two timestamps, the daily increment is derived by subtraction and marked Estimated in the data-quality column. True totals are estimated 20–35% higher than the floor, driven primarily by Saudi Arabia publishing no systematic cumulative total and gaps between official statement windows.

Section 1 · Overall launch volume

Iran launched its largest single-day barrage on Day 1 (February 28), firing an estimated 1,080 projectiles in total — 503 missiles and 577 drones — across all target countries simultaneously. Volume dropped sharply over the following week as US and Israeli airstrikes systematically destroyed Iranian missile launchers and drone production infrastructure. By Day 10 (March 9), daily totals had fallen to around 100 projectiles — a 90% decline from the opening salvo.

The plateau from Days 10–22 averages roughly 30–55 projectiles per day, consistent with CENTCOM Adm. Cooper's March 21 assessment that Iranian missile and drone attacks are "down 90% from the high rates seen at the beginning of the conflict." Days 20–21 (March 19–20) saw Iran pivot sharply toward energy infrastructure: Ras Laffan (Qatar), Yanbu port (Saudi Arabia), and Mina Al-Ahmadi (Kuwait) were all struck. Day 22 (March 21, partial) includes a notable Saudi spike of 47 drones — one of the largest single-day Gulf drone totals since Day 16.

Combined floor totals D1–D22: 1,466 missiles + 3,522 drones = 4,988 projectiles. True totals estimated 20–35% higher due to Saudi Arabia underreporting and gaps between official statement windows. Report summary, 21 March 2026

Section 2 · Drone launches by target country

Drones outnumbered missiles throughout the conflict. The UAE absorbed the largest single share — approximately 1,743 drones, around 48% of the confirmed total — because of its proximity to Iran, the presence of US military bases, and its role as a global financial and logistics hub that Iran sought to disrupt. Saudi Arabia saw sharp spikes on Days 13–14 and 17, with its Ministry of Defence confirming 51, 51, and 64 drones intercepted on those days respectively — the largest single-day totals outside the UAE.

The per-day per-country drone counts below are drawn from UAE MoD (Janes per-day series), the Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Saudi, Israel, Jordan, and Turkey defence ministry statements, JINSA daily updates, CTP-ISW reports, and FDD Long War Journal. Confirmed = directly from official statement; Estimated = derived from cumulative-snapshot arithmetic.

Section 3 · Missile launches by target country

Ballistic and cruise missile launches were heaviest on Day 1, when Iran fired an estimated 503 missiles across all countries in a single opening barrage. Israel absorbed the largest share on Day 1 — 162 missiles, or 39% of the total, per IDF data cited by JINSA. The UAE MoD provided the most detailed per-day series, confirmed by Janes.com's daily analysis: a high of 17 BMs on Day 9 (March 8) and lows of 3–4 BMs on Days 5 and 16. Saudi Arabia published no running cumulative total, making its BM counts the largest single data gap; the Arab News compilation of Saudi Press Agency statements confirmed at least 36 missiles and 439 drones absorbed by Saudi Arabia across the full 3-week period.

Column key: UAE = United Arab Emirates · KW = Kuwait · QA = Qatar · BH = Bahrain · SA = Saudi Arabia · IL = Israel · JO = Jordan · TR = Turkey · Oth = Other (Iraq, transiting airspace, etc.). Per-day rows cover D1–D19 at granular confidence; D20–D22 are captured only in the D1–D22 Total row because those days rely on cumulative snapshots rather than daily MoD statements.

Section 4 · Iran's ship attacks — Strait of Hormuz and Persian Gulf

Alongside the land-targeted missile and drone campaign tracked in Sections 1–3, Iran simultaneously ran a separate maritime interdiction campaign to enforce its closure of the Strait of Hormuz. By March 12, at least 21 attacks on commercial vessels had been confirmed by UKMTO, with 13 attack reports and 4 suspicious-activity reports received in the first two weeks alone. The weapon mix is distinct from the land campaign: Iran chose surface-to-surface and anti-ship cruise missiles for vessels transiting the Strait itself — where precision matters and collateral damage to Iranian shipping must be avoided — while deploying drone boats (USVs) for extended-range strikes up to 800 km from the Strait, and IRGC fast-attack armed boats for targets in shallow Iraqi waters. Gen. Dan Caine (CJCS) confirmed on March 13 that missiles, not sea mines or USVs, were the primary threat to shipping in the northern Strait specifically.

Confidence key: C = Confirmed by UKMTO, JMIC, maritime security firm, or vessel operator. P = Probable, consistent across multiple reports. U = Unknown, only UKMTO "unknown projectile" characterisation. Eighteen rows; Attacks #1–#18 are the confirmed tranche. UKMTO separately tallied additional advisory reports bringing the two-week total to ~21 including suspicious-activity reports.

Data quality — load-bearing caveats

• UAE is the strongest data stream: UAE MoD publishes per-day ballistic-missile detail via Janes, with multiple cumulative benchmarks (174 BMs by Mar 2, 186 by Mar 3, 262 by Mar 10, 268 by Mar 12, 304 by Mar 15, 314 by Mar 17, 334 by Mar 19; drones 689 by Mar 2, 1,422 by Mar 7, 1,514 by Mar 12, 1,672 by Mar 17, 1,714 by Mar 19). UAE alone absorbed ~40% of the confirmed total.
• Kuwait: first 36-hour figure (97 BMs + 283 drones) is confirmed directly from MoD; D4 cumulative 384 drones via CTP-ISW; D17 cumulative 227 BMs + 539 drones via FDD. Daily increments between those are inferred.
• Qatar: D1 = 66 BMs (MoI head) + 12 drones (MoD); D4 cumulative = 101 BMs + 39 drones; D13 salvo = 14 BMs; D17 cumulative = 180 BMs + 69 drones (FDD). D18 included a ballistic-missile strike on Ras Laffan Industrial City that triggered Qatar ordering Iran's military attaches out within 24 hours.
• Bahrain: 36-hr 45 BMs + 9 drones; D4 cumulative 73 + 91; D15 cumulative 125 + 211; D21 cumulative 139 + 238.
• Saudi Arabia is the largest single data gap — publishes no running cumulative. Individual confirmed days: 3 + 1 (D4), 2 + 7 (D5), 2 + 6 (D7), 51 drones (D13), 6 + 32 (D16), 64 drones (D17), 8 BMs at Riyadh in two salvoes on D19. Arab News compilation gives ~36 missiles + 439 drones cumulative for the three-week period.
• Israel: INSS cites ~200 BMs in first days; CTP-ISW D6 confirms 13 ground impacts total since D1; IDF D21 release puts cumulative at 365 BMs launched, ~285 entering airspace, ~270 intercepted (>90% rate), ~15 reaching ground. Khorramshahr-4 MRBM debut on D19 (Times of Israel / IRGC) with 2 killed at Ramat Gan.
• Jordan: only the 36-hr figure (13 BMs + 49 drones, plus 73 debris incidents) is officially confirmed; Aqaba intercept on D7 confirmed. No systematic subsequent data.
• Turkey: small number of BMs transiting; three confirmed.

Quality tags across the 22 days: Confirmed days rely on directly-quoted official statements; Estimated days are subtracted from cumulative snapshots. Where the cumulative series jumps between non-adjacent snapshots, the intermediate day's share is a best-evidence inference rather than a hard figure.
