How did the Iron Dome not catch drones?
It's like the shields in Dune, only missiles travelling at high speed are detected.
Jihadi Rednecks on Parasails cannot be stopped.
So then, all we need is a lasgun of sufficient size...
Or atomics.
Or simply our voice. Shaaaa~~
I assume it's just not really built for it. Iron Dome is primarily to intercept rockets. They're hot and follow a predictable trajectory. I'm sure it can intercept UAVs if it's small-planed sized stuff. If it's a swarm of nimble little guys like Ukraine is using - I'd think considerably harder to intercept.
But for whatever it's worth, they're claiming they intercepted the majority of them, but they didn't say specifically by Iron Dome. They say they intercepted them over Iraq and Jordan so probably some other system or aircraft?
Assuming one interceptor per threat, that'd be something like $20-30m in munitions.
Edit: I should have known.
So shot down with something likely more expensive than Iron Dome and with the US paying for it instead of Israel. Though I assume the US probably pays for Iron Dome too...
Probably turned it off
just like all the smug lefties before wuflu were spouting "humanity is a virus lol, a lot of people should die to save the planet from muh climate change"
que 2020: "why aren't you wearing a mask, you're literally killing your grandma!"
all of the commie types dream of becoming comissars, tailors, poem writers, etc. in case le revolution happens, so yeah they'd definitely gun for higher-up roles only to be met with the rude reality of being lumpenproles
