It was definitely all for show. That was the whole point. Iran sent a barrage of cheap drones, that the dome shot down. Problem is: Once the radars are switched on, they emit radiation. So, Iran now knows where the intsallations are. Plus, Iranian missiles (that evaded the AD) blitzed a couple of sites with some guided missiles (in the early morning) - oh and no casualties. That is the point. No casualties means no escalation, preddy much. Even as Israel lost some billions in equipment.
So, the West celebrated - as in: see? the Iron Dome works (because it zapped the drones). Not realizing that the whole thing was for show, and the Iranians now know the pressure points in the Iron Dome.
Iran are definitely going to respond to the assassinations.
Remember a few months back that dog and pony symbolic show when Iran attacked Israel. Rinse and repeat. https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2024/04/a_turkish_source_says_biden_green_lit_iran_s_attack_on_israel.html

Good take.
Iron dome is portable
Good counter-take.
Once they are all located, couldn’t they then be tracked and followed by Chinese and Russian satellites?
