Israel's missile defence system, the Iron Dome, is thought by Israelis to be world beating, but a US report says it won't be enough.
Right, so last week I did a video highlighting escalating tensions on Israel’s northern border with Lebanon as Hezbollah looks to be growing into an ever larger conflict and part of that was news that not only is Israel’s allegedly world beating missile defence system, known as the Iron Dome, being weakened as a result of Hezbollah’s actions, but that replacement missiles for it are not forthcoming as Israel’s focus remains primarily on Hamas and Gaza and Benjamin Netanyahu’s nonsense fixation on what he calls total victory over Hamas, something even the Israeli army are saying is impossible to achieve and that Netanyahu is deluding his own people into thinking otherwise.
Well now even the United States is passing comment on the fact that the Iron Dome defence system is failing and as Hezbollah have continued their attacks since my video on this last week, it now apparently risks being completely overwhelmed.
Right, so the Israeli Iron Dome defence system, I’ve spoken about it in previous videos, it is a missile interception defence system which comprises multiple missile batteries positioned at strategic points throughout Israel, which are capable of firing small, fast projectiles at any incoming rockets, in order to intercept and detonate them before they are capable of causing any damage and potential loss of life. As you can imagine, the exact locations of these batteries is not something Israel make public knowledge of, the overlapping capabilities of each of the missile batteries that collectively make up the iron dome is what gives it it’s strength and the system has been a source of national pride for Israel, so much so that they’ve been unprepared to share it with others, lest it weaken their own defences. Ukraine for example were interested in the technology, devised by Israeli arms firm Rafael, but Israel have said they couldn’t have it, the excuse being that it was only devised to deal with Hamas’ home made relatively weak rockets and couldn’t withstand Russian ordnance, but if that were the case, why have Iron Dome batteries in the north of Israel to shield them from the much more power Hezbollah rocket fire in which case? Israel fundamentally just don’t like sharing it seems, but as I say, if the tech gets shared, it could be better repelled by Israel’s enemies, how they made those enemies notwithstanding.
Still, Hezbollah has been busy taking out Iron dome defence batteries, housing these interception missiles and they’ve been able to do that because they’ve found out where they are and in no small part is it largely suspected that this was the true reason for the Iranian strike on Israel a few months ago in retaliation for Israel’s strike on Iran’s embassy in Damascus, remember that one?
