How effective will a carrier battle group’s Aegis system be in responding to 10,000 missiles and drones in a single attack? Supposedly 5000 overwhelmed the Iron Dome.
To over whelm Aegis system around a Carrier task group you need to fire 24,000 highly accurate missiles. Air Defense systems only attack the missiles that are a threat to the defensed zone.
What they fire at Israel are mass short and intermediate range dumb missiles.
Iron Dome is designed to defend against that but has a much larger area it has to defend. Remember land targets don’t move. Ships do
What the terrorists use to attack Israel is not much different then what the mass rocket attacks the Russians were using in WW2
