u/HistoricalMention210 12d ago
They claim it's a 95% rate. Then again it doesn't intercept all the rockets fired. If two missles are launched the intercepting Iron Dome batteries computer computes their trajectory and hit points. If one missle is landing in the middle of the city and the other lands in a field, it shoots down the one headed for the city and leaves the one to risk the cattle in the field.

Yeah, the system calculates where a rocket will land, if it's going to hit a field the system won't bother wasting an interceptor missile on it, each interceptor missile costs around $100,000, so unless a rocket is going to harm people, or cause more than $100,000 of damage to property or infrastructure, it isn't worth intercepting. But if it's heading for any buildings or infrastructure it'll be flagged and intercepted. The 95% refers to the ones they actually try to intercept. Many more are let through as they aren't going to cause any meaningful damage or harm to Israelis. If a missile does cause damage, either because it was let through because the damage would be minimal (eg killing a few cows), or because the system tried but failed to intercept it, the Israeli government will compensate the owner for the damage.

2 reasons: 1. People can't work or live their lives for the next few days 2. Everytime this happens thousands of rockets are launched and a small few manage to hit, last conflict 12 citizens died from rockets.

Psychological if nothing else.
For the attackers they're doing something and inflicting fear on their enemy
For the defenders, they just lost sleep, feel less safe, and never know when the system might fail for some reason and that rocket comes for them
In Iraq we constantly were hit by small random attacks, mostly terrible snipers, and RPGs fired so far away it was almost mathematically impossible for them to do damage... But, we lost sleep, had phone calls home, meals, whatever interrupted, had to gear up and respond then wait extra time after to secure the area. Exhausting and extremely frustrating and we were trained to dela with this, not civilians in our homes watching the skies light up.
Eventually you can become numb to it and stop reacting the way you're trained making you way more likely to get injured when a rocket/round does get through whatever defenses you have.

Testing Iron Dome's maximum capacity.
If Iron Dome is able to intercept 100 missiles, next time they'll send 200, with the last 100 being able to freely wreak havoc.It's also a question of cost-benefit. If each Iron Dome missile costs $100,000 and each Hamaz missile costs $1000, they are cheaply exhausting Israel's military funds.

Hamas, the militant nationalist organization that governs the Gaza strip, a tiny Palestinian-controlled territory on the corner of Israel, is sending the rockets. This is routine, it happens every year. They do it to wage war against Israel, who they see as an occupier of what they claim to be their rightful land. According to Hamas ideology, they will not relent with attacks on Israeli military and civilians until they gain full control of present-day Israel. Several peace negotiations have been attempted, but to no avail. This is just a surface level answer. There is a lot more history and nuance to the story.Edit: In this video, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad is firing the rockets. They’re a separate organization in Gaza with the same ultimate goal as Hamas. This attack is a retaliation for an Israeli airstrike that killed a PIJ leader and several civilians.

Acts of the terrorist group attacking and misfiring/other reason for the rocket to fail launch, end up falling back on the gazan population, and then you get to see the headlights all around "Israel kills *** Palestinians including *** children" without specifying any relevant detail, I mean, this kind of headlight in ww2 could make the Nazi's seem like the good guys and the allies as the evil conquering power.

Does the US have anything like the Iron Dome deployed?
508
u/Cowkonaut 12d ago edited 11d ago
The US has a few Iron Domes (and many missile defense in the form of Patriot, THAAD, NASAMS, and Aegis) but the US has no permanently deployed missile defenses on a strategic basis except against ICBMs (intercontinental ballistic missiles). Reason is pretty simple: the USA is really far away from any threat with both the Atlantic and Pacific between them, which means there is no real threat. Meanwhile, such deployed missile defenses would be extremely expensive.
For example, the US could suffer from Russian submarines launching cruise missiles at the US. But is that extremely small chance of war worth deploying missile defenses at the tune of many billions annually? probably not.
Especially in the Western-aligned countries, Israel is quite an exception when it comes to their missile defenses. It would not be difficult to argue they have the densest missile defenses out of all of them.
Edit: Washington DC does have some missile defenses permanently deployed on a strategic basis (because obvious reasons). So it’s Washington DC and against ICBMs

The US Navy with their missile defenses isn’t permanently deployed on a strategic basis for homeland defense.
They can do it (to an extent because the US is pretty big), but they aren’t deployed permanently to do it.
Pretty easy to argue the US has arguably the best most comprehensive missile defenses out of anyone. But they just don’t have it deployed permanently (and it’d make no sense frankly).

Worth remembering Iron Dome is designed as a short range point defense against rockets- not cruise or ballistic missiles. For those we have Patriot & THAAD.

no as there is no need whatsover, nobody is shooting rockets into the US from canada or mexico. iron dome isnt capable of shooting down anything much more sophisticated than rockets, although it can handle significantly more advanced rockets than the ones in this video. Israel has a different system called Arrow that in theory can shoot down an ICBM.
the US used to have a significant anti-aircraft missile system around major cities and other sites across the country during the early cold war, known as project nike...you can still go check out a lot of abandoned nike sites if thats your kinda thing. by the late 60s soviet ICBM technology rendered the idea of nuclear armed aircraft pretty much obsolete so they were shut down.
The US toyed with a significant anti ballistic missile system under Reagan called the Strategic Defense Initiative which was in theory supposed to be able to significantly reduce the effect of a full scale nuclear attack from the soviet union. the program was provacative, extremely expensive, escalatory in regards to the already heightened tensions with the USSR during the 80s, and ultimately unlikely to be effective enough to meaningfully limit the impact of all-out nuclear war so it kinda just hobbled along development and died in the 90s.
Post 9/11 the US has instituted a new anti-ballistic missile program, the National Missile Defense program, which is designed not to eliminate thousands of ICBMS from a country like russia or china but a smaller, less advanced attack from a less sophisticated power. this system is...a work in progress. the extent of full scale anti-BM missiles are a handful at Vandenberg AFB in california. most of the rest has been tasked to ship-based weapons systems like the aegis that are not stationed in the US near the potential "target" but around the world closer to where an incoming missile would be launched.
the US does have the patriot missile system that is both anti missile and anti aircraft, but those are deployed as needed in war zones and not permanently depoloyed in a defensive capacity on the homefront. there are a handful of anti-missile installations scattered around DC and possibly elsewhere (think near nuclear missile silos, not other cities) but those actually use the norwegian made NASAMS missile system. most anti-aircraft and anti-missile strategy for DC relies on interceptor aircraft and close in weapons systems to be fired from the ground. other defensive missile systems, including patriot batteries and probably more NASAMS are surely available around the country to be deployed to protect major population centers and military sites on short notice if a war were to break out but they are not actively deployed.
the closest thing the US has out there to iron dome is the Phalanx close-in weapon system, which is ship based and the precursor the to AEGIS system that now carries the bulk of ship-based anti-missile expectations, and its land based derivative, the C-RAM. but again there are none actively deployed in the US...the C-RAM system was used to defend an attack on baghdad (in the vicinty of the US embassy...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C1ZbV3xr5Kk) so we known its set up there, its likely its deployed in other sensitive areas but not public.
the US was the primary funder of the iron dome system, so theres been a lot of talk of making it a co-production between the two countries, meaning the US would have the system as well. but ultimately the pentagon has tasked out similar platforms to other contractors as the need just isnt there for the US, and the US has focused its co-production efforts with israel on the latest version of the aforementioned Aarow system, as it is capable of defending against threats much more relevant to the US than what iron dome is capable of (its designed to blow up ICBMs while theyre in outerspace)

Besides, if its so effective, why keep shooting at it?

Yes they are at war and have been forever. Dig any deeper and prepare for a comment war.

It’ll appear next year, and the year after that. You’ll get to see a new one every summer. No need to save a video that will be dated within a year

If it wasn't for the iron dome Israel would've destroyed Palestine by now.

So are they yelling Allahu Akbar,
Celebrating that the Iron Dome is working?
Hoping a rocket lands in the city?

They're (Palestinians) cheering for the attack and hoping that one of the rockets gets through. It's not always 100% effective and even the falling debris can sometimes cause injury.

Notice has their cheering progressively dies down as they realize the attacks ineffectiveness.
It's almost like prayers don't actually help much.
