GO Israel......Iron Dome
 

Israel rocks and Iron Dome will sell. More succinct.

Israel is currently exercising its right to protect itself as can any other nation in a similar situation.

I did wonder how Iron Dome would hold up in a real missile scenario. I guess this is the warm up exercise before the Iran job. Seems to be doing a good job so far, and they have the old Patriot system as back up, and IIRC it will intercept at higher altitudes than Iron Dome, so if Iranian MRBMs come in then Patriot can have a shot at them.
But for what it was designed for, intercepting rockets from Gaza, it's been doing very well. Back in March when the last barrage of rockets came over from Gaza Iron Dome got 56 kills out of 71 attempts. That's a good kill ratio.
It's also smart that it calculates the ballistic arc of a weapon and then ignores missiles that aren't going to hit populated areas so it doesn't suffer target overload.
It's an impressive system, kudos to the Israeli and American designers. :yep:

Rgr that....the system is fairing up very well and must be building confidence in government circles around its potential capabilities should a more serious threat arise.

I wonder how the budget will hold up at 35 grand a shot?

I like puppies.

It's probably cheaper to fire 35 grand than repair the damage of the missile hitting the target, and the political damage of people getting killed.

How much you wanna bet that the money will come from the US?

Maybe Redbrow is from Haganah Watch ? :hmm2:

Apart from that Germany is not so happy that the Gaza government buildings have been destroyed, after they have financed the building of the same in the last years.

Apart from that Mr Red Brow (in austrian language): 'Geh scheissen'

Thanks,

Some of you guys take me too seriously
 

That's ok. I'll be nice. At least nicer.

"The White House says it believes Israel "has the right to defend itself" against attack and that the Israelis will make their own decisions about their "military tactics and operations."

That's nice. Other nations will be glad to hear this.

Except for all the victims and their families this whole episode may come off as a kind of fellowship of foes. Hamas will be reaffirmed in Gaza. Egypt will have made its political stand. Benjamin will show that he is more than just a stand up comic at the UN, the American politicos will have fresh standing with Israel, and the Israeli military industrial complex will have 'Iron Dome' to sell to many countries that will be interested.

....lolz :har:

Weather engendering in processes....:o

About 35 grand.:D
