Iron dome is an air defense (AD) system, based on rockets to intercept incoming visits. Patriots are NASAM (surface to air missiles) so the systems are similar but different. The main difference being that rockets are cheaper than missiles, and so we see a battery with 20 rockets for Iron dome, instead of one with 6 missiles for Patriots. (money being an issue for some). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9N8vJePTGE
Of course this works against A missile, but not a whole cloud of them.
Given that Patriots were a complete and utter failure, recently (Think of the whole battery emptying itself against some lawnmowers in the sky, and THEN being struck by a hypersonic missile, as was seen on video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4sTZ1_9Cn8), there is a loss of trust for such AD systems.
One could then assume that people are no longer feeling safe, or conversely can see the possibility of retaliation against the 'fear of AD', that was created 30 years ago. Now, it seems that such AD systems can be overwhelmed with cheap drones or homemade rockets, lots of them, for example. [Pepes making stuff that go boom, in lounge]
The smart AD will get confused by a multiplicity of incoming, especially if set to automatic.
When 2M people are forced to subsist in a suburb, made to go without electricity or running water at the whim of the regime, and are frequently invaded by military at a drop of a hat, AND they realize that pepe power is a thing, they might get creative IMO.
