Me think this failures with the iron dome happen cause of bad termo management inside if many fired at same time.
The system is already at a fraction of the price and I don't think you can build it cheaper and iran has needs for such system it can be used against jdam or cruise missiles all any other type of such weapons, It can be used against UAVS .I think Iron Dome does its job at an acceptable rate all things considered. Downside to the system is cost per missile and overall system cost.
Iran could likely produce such a system for a fraction of the cost, but its only client would be Syria. Iran has no use for such a system nor does Iraq. It’s an anti insurgency AD system. Very niche.
Davids Sling and Arrow are a different story.
I think all systems has failure and this failure is the price they pay for trying to build the missiles as cheap as possible.Me think this failures with the iron dome happen cause of bad termo management inside if many fired at same time.

Iron Dome missile is 40000$ per missile and you can't go cheaper than that.You sir are misinformed and quite frankly don’t know what you are talking about.
An Iron Dome battery runs $50 million, with each missile in the neighborhood of $40,000 to $100,000 (estimates vary).

So to stop a $500-$1000 homemade rocket Israel is spending upwards of 100K per interceptor on top of $50 million per battery (not battalion).
According to @VEVAK Iran produces a F-110 missile for $100K so let that sink in.
Furthermore, Iron dome is terrible for intercepting cruise missiles. It was designed to intercept low flying predictable trajectory rockets that fly too low for traditional AD interception altitude.
If Iron Dome was adequate to intercept CMs Israel wouldn’t be racing to beef up their air defenses against long range Iranian CMs.
iron dome can intercept CMs if they do not maneuver in it's missile range. it's a simple point AD that can intercept targets moving on an strait line. the missile price is low because it's guidance burden is on the radar and ground targeting system not the missile itself which is a basic rocket with a simple iR sensor.The system is already at a fraction of the price and I don't think you can build it cheaper and iran has needs for such system it can be used against jdam or cruise missiles all any other type of such weapons, It can be used against UAVS .

it is used successfully against drone so it can be used against cruise missile . and its a point defense system as it designed for such mission .by the way JDAM, Cruise missiles, Quasi ballistic missiles all are not that maneuvering system at the terminal phase .iron dome can intercept CMs if they do not maneuver in it's missile range. it's a simple point AD that can intercept targets moving on an strait line. the missile price is low because it's guidance burden is on the radar and ground targeting system not the missile itself which is a basic rocket with a simple iR sensor.
Senior Iranian diplomat, Amir Abdollahinan:
Through several mediates which arrived in Iran shortly after US terror of Gen Suleimani, Trump had promised to halt all sanctions related to him if Iran avoid it's retaliation, Americans even suggested that Iran negotiate with them about possible targets for the revenge strike, but all offers were rejected.
Yeah sure, all of the foreign officials who visited Iran in that time were carrying weather information.What a load of propaganda. Trump was going to lift all sanctions on Iran if they did not retaliate? Who believes that?
US asked for negotiations on what targets to allow to be struck in revenge? This propaganda is for the villagers in Iran who don’t know better.
Let’s not forget another Quds force General died in that car along with 3 other operatives and Quds Force General of Yemen ops was also targeted.
But we are to believe, US was “so scared” of Iranian retaliation that they went for a mega decapitation strike and crossed all red lines including rules of war and engagement.
