The US Department of Defense is ready to acquire the Israeli air defense system Iron Dome

The US Department of Defense confirmed its intention to purchase the Iron Dome (Iron Dome) air defense system from Israel by sending a request to Congress for the purchase of two batteries for the Israeli system. "Warspot" with reference to the portal armyrecognition.com.

According to the blog, if the transaction is approved, the US Army will receive two Iron Dome air defense batteries for 2020, including 12 launchers, 240 interceptor missiles, as well as a control system and radar stations. In the US, the defense ministry calls this purchase "interim" and report that the final decision on adopting this system into service with the US Army will be made by 2023. At the same time, unofficially reported that attempts to create their own American air defense system based on the AIM-120 AMRAAM and AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles were unsuccessful.

The development of the Iron Dome air defense system was launched in 2006 year. The United States closely watched the creation of the complex, and in 2011, Israel was given 1,4 billion dollars to develop the system. In the future, Rafael joined forces with Raytheon to produce a system with an 50% content of components manufactured in the USA in exchange for financing. The presence of half of US parts in the production of the system is a requirement of the US Department of Defense.

The Iron Dome system is designed to intercept unguided tactical missiles at a distance from 4 to 70 km. Developed by the Israeli company Rafael. One battery can protect an area of ​​150 square kilometers. In the West, the Iron Dome is called one of the most reliable systems in its class.

Well, if you think so, then it is obvious that you have not graduated from school. After all, your reasoning is so naive and helpless that a person who graduated from school probably would not have allowed them. Of course, if you follow your logic.
In reality, it would be possible to look for sources, read which school you graduated from in social networks, congratulate you and your school on this and not make hasty and stupid judgments. But we have your logic? Therefore, yes, Hamas shoots only rusty pipes, and you definitely did not finish school. Pichalka.

Here, few people are interested in the obvious. The incredible excites more. What kind of business is this for the Americans? I'm talking about the Iron Dome. Cover the missile defense system in Europe. As a dead poultice. These stationary sheds will put our people in whatever they want. Moreover, no one and never a simple warhead to shoot such objects will not. Only nuclear. So they will cover their bases in the Middle East and Afghanistan. Well, this dome was made for such a thing. In general, nothing surprising. Well, agree not to buy the Pantsir for the Americans.

Perhaps they buy because the Israeli come out cheaper than their own with the same characteristics. In addition, the system is already in service and tested.

Checked then checked, but the results of the "check" were not very comforting, since the effectiveness of the fight against artisanal "Kassams" is only 25%. In addition, this contraption is a bit expensive - 40 thousand Bakinsky for one interceptor that took off. Considering that the Palestinians fired about 460 missiles at the last time in Israel, then this "iron dome" gobbled up about 20 million dollars in a couple of days. Not only is he gluttonous, but he is also slow-witted, since it takes 15 seconds from detecting and recognizing a target to launching an interceptor missile, which is a lot, since Qassam flies faster. The Jews, of course, tried to justify this failure by the fact that this dome is so smart that it lets through non-dangerous missiles and knocks down only dangerous ones, but the Saudis who were going to buy this system from them seriously strained - is it worth it? Now they are grinding the topic of purchasing the S-400.

[Krasnodar]

C-400 and LCD have completely different purposes. It is more correct to compare the Russian air defense system with the Israeli HEC or the David Sling, probably)). As for efficiency - in 2014, out of hundreds of missiles launched in Tel Aviv and Ramat Gan, not a single one fell on the cities - they went astray.

[Nyrobsky]

Quote: Krasnodar

This comparison will also be incorrect, since on July 23, 2018, near the Golan Heights, the Sling of David was unable to intercept two Syrian OTR-21 Tochka, which are 40 years old. In principle, there is not a single system that gives a 100% guarantee of interception, but we must strive for this, so we still have to work and work with the "Iron Dome" so that it corresponds to how they try to promote it.

[Krasnodar]

There, in my opinion, they did not intercept a point, but air defense missiles of the Syrians, who flew towards Israel. Now the system is being finalized, as the interception results were fig (during the first combat use a couple of years ago, the result was good).

Remedies always cost more than a means of attack. A bulletproof vest is worth more than a mower of bucks, and a bullet is a dollar. But you do not offer to abandon body armor, right?

There is no absolute means of protection. However, those that are at the moment (LCD, for example) are satisfied with Israel. Naturally, they are not completely satisfied - therefore, the modernization of such systems and the development of new ones continue. This is a normal process, the misunderstanding of which is nonsense.

Thus, enter into competition with s-350 and thus try to deprive Russia of foreign exchange earnings in this area.

[Ratmir_Ryazan]

Russia needs a similar air defense system so that the launcher is separate from the people. Then, with the defeat of PU, people will not suffer. And we have that Shell, that Wasp, that TOR, that BUKI all with people. There are Jews today, at least two more air defense systems Shell destroyed and one was definitely with people.

It is clear that this was done to cover the columns of equipment on the march, but we use them for stationary defense, and the enemy uses these. The first attack reveals the position, and the subsequent more massive one works purely on the identified air defense objects. One hit hitting both PU and radar and the calculation of air defense systems.

Too fat gift as a result receives the opponent.

And with stationary defense it should be like this:
- several launchers without people are at the position disguised with a bunch of false targets nearby and in the distance imitating both individual launchers and entire positions;
- Radars are also separate, possibly several, conventional long-range radars + other systems operating in passive mode, such as OLS like on fighters.
- management is carried out by wire from a fortified and camouflaged bunker.

Then the protected crew will work quietly without fear of being destroyed.

For me, this is the ideal defense scheme. And let wheeled and caterpillar Shells, TORs accompany columns and work as an operational reserve to strengthen some direction.
