Great system. Very cheap ammunition-wise (unlikely the Patriot, LOL!), and also doesn’t even bother trying to intercept incoming unless it’s a threat to populated areas.

From what I am reading, it’s 40 to 50,000 dollars a missile. I don’t think it’s sustainable. They need those laser weapons.

Much more effective than USA PAC 3’s, which have now had execrable performance in at least two recent conflicts- the US driven Yemeni war crimes, as well as the US led war crimes in the Ukraine. Huzzah for the USA’s corrupt defense complex! Murdering American youth for foreigners and arms merchants since 1917!

Pretty impressive. So if I understand the situation the USA abandoned implementing Iron Dome because Isreal wouldn’t supply the source code. Can you blame them, China would have it inside a week if we had it.
