Iron Dome is none the less impressive compared to legacy systems

in the past these sorts of systems hit 10% of incoming rockets, whereas Iron Dome is hitting close to 90%

so that reduces damage from catastrophic levels to harassment levels

the main drawback is cost, 90% accuracy ain't cheap, each Iron Dome missile costs $80,000

Honestly, with how much money we are sending them, and what they make, they can afford it.

I have people on FB and Twitter saying that Israel deserves what it is getting.

How much does each Hamas rocket cost and who is supplying them?
Death, death, to the IDF.

they're mostly using Iranian made Farj-5 333mm rockets

based on the cost of a similar Russian system, its roughly $5,000 for the rocket itself

indeed, Iron Dome is funded by the American Congress for all intents & purposes

the system is jointly produced with Raytheon
