Iron Dome scored 90% plus kill rate in recent combat firings

[mnd]

This system is not build to stand alone in a conflict, it is one of many tiers of air defense and of a whole army, just like there is air force, land force, sea force... there are planes tanks vessels which have their own functionality and designation. Iron dome foremost with high priority will protect installations with strategic importance such as airfield, army bases, electricity plants, ports etc and not residential areas, what is your beef? you think people at MoD are stupid? Rafael engineers are dumb? system was built for a specific needs, to please you and make it "sense" in your eyes is not one of its needs

I actually think that Rafael´s attempts to market Iron Dome, have a very weak base. System serves for little more than psychological effect. It can be usefull for example if it intercepts 1 or 2 rockets heading towards a populated area which would otherwise create terror effect among the population. But statements such as "a missile umbrella" or "cost effective" regarding this system, are just far from real.

And isn´t Iron Dome deployed around urban areas? that confirms my statement.

In serious conflict this system is useless, redundant.

From actual interceptions.

Those tests do not seem to correspond to actual conflicts. A poor atempt at marketing.

In real world there will be massive counterbattery fire.

This is actually the way to go. But Iron Dome will be innefective and redundant in suchl world" scenarios.

reality check:

real world scenario: Hezbollah had fired about 3,900 rockets into Israel during the 34 days of the 2006 Lebanon War, Of those 972 (23%) landed within built-up areas. 972 rockets in 34 days. 28 per day!

Iron dome will be ineffective and redundant?? sorry not sure about it! Statistically Iron Dome have a chance in a real world scenario!

These are not tests, these are actual interceptions of rockets directed at towns.

It already proved itself.

Most of these rockets hit two small border towns: Kiryat Shmona and Nahariya. Total 93 rockets launched towards Haifa the largest northern city of Israel, second large city Acre was attacked by 103 rockets. Thats about 3 rockets a day and not all hit the build area.

Also war was badly executed and took too long. Next time IDF will act much more swiftly and end no more than in 2 weeks.

Iron Dome can also intercept large rockets like Uragan and Smerch which are never employed in big numbers but can cause devastating damage.

Of course your slave would be their for u but that's not the point of this thread.

We live under constant threat, we had hundreds of suicide bombings and thousands of rockets only in past decade.

When Arabs started war in 1973 many thousands of Israelis who worked and studied in USA at that time returned and voluntered to army. Among them current Israeli PM Netanyahu.

Dont judge Israelis according to yourself.

Oh those were the good ol' days jews were scarred by hitler's massacre. But is the next generation of Zionists willing to lay their lives for Israel as was the previous one. Frankly i am not going to judge them because u are living in Israel and hence are in far better position to answer.

Then the question is what can i do ? Speculate. And observing the degree of protection provided to the soldiers in the modern Israeli's equipment i speculate that u guyz have gotten infected with materialism because one thing is universal and will not change today nor will it tomorrow.

If there will be war there will causalities.The question is what comes before the human life or the mission ?

That means nothing for now. Only feature of this system is excessive cost.

I don't think you’re giving the system the credit it deserves. The cost of a mortar round or homemade rocket may be small compared to an iron dome rocket. But what happens when that Hamas fired rocket hits a house and someone dies? Israel counters with artillery or air strikes or both. In fact I will go one further and say that it saves Palestinian lives since it lowers the need for larger Israeli counter strikes.

The zionists are not even faithful/sincere to Israel but infact they want total control of the world so that the Anti-Christ/Dajjal can come out and declare that he is the god(Na-oozo-billah). The zionists are infact the Satanic-Anti-Christ pplz/Army.

In less than 24 hours over 90 rocket were launched toward Israel, the Iron dome managed to intercept 25 out of intended 27

 

[Machine]

27 interception out of 29 attempts, 93.45% success

 

[PteX]

27/29 because the other two were projected to fall outside of civilian population.
That is why the IDF was very pleased with the results.

 

[Machine]

what? Iron dome missed two rockets.

 

[SOHEIL]

you guys think you can hit our super fast ICBMs with this toy ?

one of those missiles is enough To become a city to ashes

cheers

 

[kollang]

I think recently we gave several fateh-110s to Hezbollah
It's cep is just 10 metres
Too deadly

27*30.000=810000 $

and Hamas rocket ( IMO those are just flying grenades , Zionists trying to make themselves jut like victims and that why call those useless grenades " rocket " ) are under 100 $ ...

so if we help them to produce and lunch those rockets every day and Israel would collapse without any war .... oh sorry , Zionists shouldn't be worry because Americans citizens paying the money ....

It just so happens that one Jewish life is worth 30 times more than a life of someone like you, so it an acceptable cost.
