Saudi Arabia's missile base 'with launch pads aimed at Israel and Iran'

[Yzd Khalifa]

Sure you do *sarcasm*



If a launch was made on Israel, rest assured that there would be nothing left of that certain nation's military grid after the IAF's strikes.

Please be realistic.

Aggressors will pay for the escalations in crisis.

Be a man, just admit that you almost failed all your recent midcourse tests.

They were talking about Arrow, its speed of Mach 9 is quite impressive, but the flight ceiling is simply too low, thus its best chance is to intercept the DF-3 at its terminal phase (assume that DF-3's top speed is less than Mach 10).

Israel's real missile interception will be struggling and hit a lottery Bonanza to shoot down an old missile like the DF-3 at its terminal phase.

I do respect Israel's military capability, but to intercept the longer range ballistic missile, you need big boys to do that.

Not mention that the Israelis did whatever it took to block the S-300 Russia's deal with Iran.

The S-300 will prevent Israel's air raid on Iran's nuclear plants.

That was but one test, we've had successful trials as well:

As we speak we are proceeding in retesting the mid course interceptors. These are ongoing trials and do not reflect the climax to these trials. Please, must we prove the superiority of American technology to cheap knock offs by self imposed 'supa powahs' ?

So do I, but I find it highly unlikely to intercept such DFs

SM-3 ≠ GMD

GMD = To intercept the ICBM

Making it mission impossible. Yet, Iran claimed that they developed an S-300 on their own, while the PRC couldn't even get closer to it, but came up with something on their own.

We have the HQ-9, the S-300 is a good SAM, but i think they need to move on S-400 right now.

True, a considerable portion of Hamas' indigenous rockets of Hamas penetrated deeply within Israel, I'm not saying the Iron Dome was an epic failure, but don't expect a small nation like Israel to mobilize tens of battles, these are very pricey.

Missile defense is most feasible in case of a small country like Israel.

Most of the successful missile defense systems currently are point defense systems. For a large country having a lot of targets, it would be financially improbable to defend every target of value but for a small country like Israel, that would not be a problem.

The Iron Dome can't intercept supersonic BM like the DF-3, this goes beyond the capability of the current Iron Dome, this is yet remain to be seen though.

Iron Dome cannot intercept DF-3 because it was never designed for that purpose.Israel and for that any country has multi layer missile defense.

Israel has David sling, Iron Dome and Arrow. US has patriot+ and Thadd.

+ Israel currently lacks capbility to intercept ICBM's

But IDK I think the Iron Dome DS is ultra expensive, your takes guys?

It is highly expensive when compared to the projectile it is intercepting. Normally rocket fire should be responded by Artillery counterstrikes.

Iron dome is a PR weapon rather than a realistic one and works more towards proving sense of security.

It's cost could be partially justified if potential damage of a rocket striking some target is taken into account but a primitive rocket striking a target is a low probability phenomenon.


The BMD system which would come to play for intercepting ballistic missiles from Iran or Saudi Arabia is Arrow and it is cost effective compared to cost of missile that it would be intercepting.

Good rocket interceptor, but just too expensive.

No country sells ICBMs.

Not true mate, the Royal Navy carries US Trident ICBMs, which I consider a prime case for a similar deal b/w Pakistan and China.

Why do you pretend like you're the guy in the pic? LAME.
