Success of Israel?s Iron Dome defensive shield questioned - The Globe and Mail

Israel’s sophisticated and expensive anti-missile Iron Dome was hailed for intercepting
hundreds of crude but deadly incoming rockets fired from Gaza in the latest flare-up of fighting. But some independent missile analysts, including one who called out the Pentagon for similarly extravagant success claims for Patriot anti-missile systems during the Persian Gulf war, question Israel’s claim of a “kill” rate approaching 90 per cent.

"Initially, I drank the Kool-Aid on Iron Dome, just as initially I did with the Patriots,” said Theodore Postol, a physicist and missile-defence expert at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. It was Prof. Postol who, during the 1991 Persian Gulf War, debunked Pentagon claims that its Patriot anti-missile system was successfully shooting down Iraqi Scud missiles.

“I’m skeptical. I suspect it is not working as well as the Israelis are saying … but there is great value in the strategic deception” in claiming very high success rates, Prof. Postol said in an interview. Although hard evidence is scanty, he pointed to the absence of secondary blasts – indicating the interceptor warhead exploded but did not ignite the incoming missile – and, more importantly, the lack of damage evident on missile carcasses recovered in Israel and filmed by the media.

Nah, actually, it was more successful and impressive than anticipated. Leave up to Arabs to yet again claim victory while having gotten their asses kicked.

Success of Israel's Iron Dome Renews Interest in Missile Defense Systems - NYTimes.com

Israel's Iron Dome System Shows Huge Success
The results were stunning. The system destroyed about 421 of the 1,500 or so rockets fired at Israel, and with a success rate of some 90 percent. The Israeli-designed system can determine whether a Palestinian rocket will land in an open field or on a house or business. If the former, Israel doesn’t fire an interceptor, thus saving money. Understandably, Israelis are in love with the new system. They’re ecstatic that they have a new level of protection. Consider:

Israel’s cost per interceptor is dropping: The Post noted that while the cost of each interceptor originally built for the system was between $40,000 and $50,000 a piece, most of those costs were R&D related. Now, if the IDF ends up ordering 10 times as many interceptors as originally estimated, then their ‘cost’ will likely drop to around $5,000. At 100 times as many the “cost” will approach the marginal cost of less than $1000.”

The Iron Dome's shoot-down accuracy is improving: “Iron Dome is fundamentally a highly advanced computer system with a very rapid upgrade cycle,” reports the Post. “So far Iron Dome is matching pace with the iPhone for major software and hardware upgrades, and consequent performance increases. With each upgrade the interception rate will improve and the range of missiles it can intercept may also improve further. It is therefore that we can expect Iron Dome to reach a 95 percent or higher interception rate in the next year or two, and to continue to improve as the speed and processing power of the computers that make up its brain and eyes (radar) advance.

Iran’s and Hamas’ costs per rocket—and per Israeli killed—are soaring: “The real cost of the rockets and missiles which Iron Dome intercepts is vastly underestimated by most commentators,” Thus, 1,000 Grads, which cost Iran $1 million to purchase, may end up as 300 Grads which cost a further $2 million in ‘delivery charges.’ This turns a $1,000 Grad rocket in Iran into a $10,000 Grad rocket in Gaza. … The strategic implications are that the current rocket-based terror strategy of Hamas and Hezbollah has been rendered both ineffective and economically unsustainable. It is currently costing Hamas (and thus its patron Iran) around $5 million (500 rockets at $10,000 each) to murder a single Israeli. When Iron Dome reaches 95 percent interception rate these figures will double and at 97.5 percent they will double again.”

A world power couldn't even stop militants on the ground with lightest weapons in the world. Ha Ha Ha! That's what you call a success, that was a tiny fraction of what Hamas has. Israel is only successful in damaging infrastructure badly and killing civilians.

And that was an even tinier fraction of what Israel had. Do you really think Israel uses the full brunt of it's force and power? Ha ha ha. You donkeys couldn't fight your way out of a paper bag. All you're good at is terrorism and targeting unarmed unsuspecting civilians. But when an army comes marching in, you run and hide behind your women and kids. What a bunch of filthy coward scumbags.
