Iron Dome scored 90% plus kill rate in recent combat firings

[500]

hey,

i read that out of 130 rockets fired,iron dome could intercept only 19

1) First of all Iron Dome intercepted 40 rockets.
2) Most of the Palestinian rockets miss their target and Iron Dome ignores them.
3) There are currently only 3 Iron Dome batteries, not all areas are covered.

Fresh interceptions:

the problem with Hamas is that they don't have the power to saturate the system all they can manage is 5 rocket now and another 5 half an hour later .and they even don't send those 5 at the same time and they rockets to be honest sucks a lot . they can't even target a city with them something that can be easily done with a mortar if the rest of those rockets were precise enough to at least hit a city then Iron dome power could have been evaluated.

This is where you are incorrect. The purpose of the Iron Dome system is to intercept incoming projectiles REGARDLESS of those projectiles' precision and accuracy and REGARDLESS of the projectiles' true targets. If the defenders chose not to go after certain incoming projectiles, they do so out of other considerations. Wisdom or incompetence. And that is a different issue.

However, once ONE incoming projectile is selected for interception, if ONE interceptor was used and was successful PER incoming projectile, then the system is a success. In other words, if 10 incoming projectiles -- out of 20 -- were selected for interception, may be all the defenders had were 10 interceptors, and if there were 10 successful interceptions, then the entire system is a success.

Although Pakistan should have joined the Chinese on Radars and other vital electronics research to Co develop Air defence systems as well as AWE&Cs system and other sensors and electronics at home.
