How Israel’s Iron Dome Works | WSJ

Israel’s Iron Dome missile-defense system is designed to intercept and destroy short-range rockets and mortars. During the recent conflict, it has been used to destroy more than 200 rockets bound for Israeli cities. Here’s how it works.

[@JP-pq9xi]

They do? That looks exactly like a patriot battery

[@baronnuuke7821]

Actually a Patriot missile is far more "smarter". A patriot missile can shoot down mid range to long range missiles like scuds, but it can also lock on fighter jets and change its course live while "chasing" it depending on every move the pilot makes. An Iron Dome missile has just some data from ground about a ballistic trajectory of a non guided rocket and just goes there. Sure it can adjust a bit, but not that much. That's also why a Patriot missile cost around 3 millions USD while an Iron Dome missile cost around 80 thousands USD. But a Patriot system would never be able to shoot down tiny targets like mortar or qassam rockets, and even if it could work a little bit, the idea of throwing a 3 millions dollar spaceship to a handmade flying explosive hookah is ridiculous

The asymmetry has become so ridiculous that these options need to start being considered seriously. Shooting down unguided rockets with other rockets is not victory. This is not a war between two armies. This is a war between an army and a street gang. And street gangs don't count victories in terms of bodies.

They can destroy Hamas whenever they want but sadly have realized its politically convenient to let them live while maintaining a giant open air prison of children for them to control.

[@AS-wd5br]

@@peterisawesomeplease Israel indeed benefits from the existance of Hamas as there existance has kept the Palestinians separated and divided. Regarding the invasion, I believe that Israel tried to do that in 2014 on a smaller scale. Anyways, they did terribly and were being held as prisoners and that made israel insanely airstiking the site in the aim of killing the soldiers! Can you imagine that your state values its ego more than its loyal soldiers instead of trying to save them. And let me tell you that that incidence caused rage in the israeli community back then. One more thing that needs emphasizing: hamas is not Palestine! And the children being killed in Gaza are not fighters in hamas and don't have any relation with any armed party. They were probably trying to think about what would their birthday gift be

@@peterisawesomeplease I agree with you on the general concept (this is not to say that I encourage an invasion). But there is yet a problem.
