Israel is the size of Rhode Island. Iron Dome cost lots and lots of money.
Imagine the cost of covering the continental US.
If you send multiple missiles you get through.
So...i repeat the post title. Iron Dome?
Any more details on the failure or the extent of Israel's Iron Dome?
Possibly. Injured in nearby medical someone earlier said what got through were drones and we are now watching actual missiles getting through and I thought some did earlier.
Iron Dome is a tired old technology. Completely useless against Hypersonic missiles and barely deflects conventional inbounds.
In contrast, the US has 10-year-old tech, that I know of first-hand, that can disable guidance systems in the most sophisticated inbounds.
Rest assured the Golden Dome system is so far advanced that it will look like magic to our enemies' conventional weapons systems. What is far more dangerous to the US is administrations that let CCP spy ballons coast along gathering intel on our power grids for days on end without doing a damn thing about it.
