Especially when the anti-missile missile costs 50 G's and the thing it's shooting down (less than 50% of the time) costs $500. The countermeasure is to just keep launching rockets until the IDF runs out of Iron Dome missiles. [/quote] Very true. One way of taking out the Gaza missiles would be a nice little EMP pulse. It would render the launcher controllers useless. [/quote] Too bad if they are simple fuses, which i am pretty sure they are. [/quote]
Original Message
The Iron Dome system designed by Israeli engineers to intercept the short-range Palestinian missiles battering Israel from the Gaza Strip is turning out surprisingly to be a wonder weapon.
The three batteries posted in Beersheba, Ashdod and Ashkelon have all but eliminated the number of Grad missiles getting through for direct hits and so far saved their populations from fatal casualties since Jihad Islami started shooting missiles at a dozen Israeli towns and villages Friday, March 9.
Military and intelligence sources report that top Iranian and Hizballah missile experts posted at Hamas and Jihad Islami's military headquarters in Gaza went to work Sunday to puzzle out counter-measures for disarming the novel interceptor.
