AMAZING RAW VIDEO: Israels Iron Dome in action - rockets launched from the strip knocked out of the sky

good catch OP , thanks

Iron Dome (Hebrew: kipat barzel) is a mobile all-weather air defense system[2] in development by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems[1] designed to intercept and destroy short-range rockets and artillery shells fired from distances of 4 to 70 kilometers away whose trajectory would take them to a populated area.[3][4] The system, created as a defensive countermeasure to the rocket threat against Israel's civilian population on its northern and southern borders, uses technology first used in Rafael's SPYDER system. Iron Dome was declared operational and initially deployed on 27 March 2011 near Beersheba.[5] On 7 April 2011, the system successfully intercepted a Grad rocket launched from Gaza for the first time.[6] On 10 March 2012, The Jerusalem Post reported that the system shot down 90% of rockets launched from Gaza it fired at (rockets which will land in unpopulated areas are ignored).[4] By April 2012 it had intercepted 93 rockets.[7][8]

Compilation: Rocket Attacks Filmed by Civilians


I cant imagine hearing these sounds here in the US

LOL really? You do know those are fireworks right? You really think rockets just sit in the sky and glow while waiting to be shot down?

That's show biz!

The propaganda seems to be at a fever pitch. That coupled with the Generals sex scandal nonsense make me thing things are not moving in the right direction.

Thanks, very interesting...

The rockets are glowing because of the fuel coming out the back you dumb AC

for more info

That was cool, but fucking scary! I'm glad I'm not there!

But they don't move while the intercepters shoot up and knock them out of the sky. That doesn't make sense to me.

It just looks that way. The person taping is looking at the missiles coming right at his direction. That's why it looks like they are standing still.

Cool shit. The best our money can buy....

It's looks like "fireworks" because of the aluminum in the rocket fuel.

Kinda like machine gun fire at night.

You can see the barrel glow red hot and literal sparks blowing out.
