Israel Improves Iron Dome Air Defense / Missile Defense System

The Israeli Ministry of Defense announced the successful completion of a series of tests of the advanced Iron Dome air defense / missile defense system. Tests involving the interception of an unmanned target were conducted by Rafael Advanced Defense System at a training ground in southern Israel.

According to the statement of the Ministry of Defense of the country, the tests demonstrated the capabilities of an improved version of the Iron Dome system in various scenarios to intercept targets imitating promising threats. Details of the improvement were not disclosed, however, according to some military experts, the system could be upgraded to expand capabilities to counter low-flying air threats, including cruise missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles, as well as ammunition flying along a ballistic trajectory, including those armed with Iran. An improved system will be put into service with the Israeli Air Force.

The Iron Dome is an essential component of Israel’s air defense system in the present and in the future. Improvements relate to new scenarios of the development of hostilities in the near future and the ability of the Iron Dome to cope with new challenges

- The press service of the Israeli military department said.

According to Israeli media publications, during the testing of an improved version of the Iron Dome, the system hit all of the set targets.

We have completed a series of tests with a 100% success rate. The system intercepted all the threats that were modeled in the area selected for testing. The successful test series that we completed took place exactly 10 years after the first interception of the system. Over the past decade, we have carried out dozens of intercepts within the test system and more than 2000 operational intercepts

- quoted the media as the vice president of defense contractor Rafael Pini Jungman.

The US Army Domestic Air Defense / Missile Defense System Iron Dome was ordered by the US Army as part of the Indirect Fire Protection Capability Increment (IFPC) program, which aims to provide protection against cruise missiles and UAVs.

This dome is doped continuously.
As soon as a whistle or a bow (according to the Israeli media) is screwed to it, so is the news in the world.
Just advertising and an excuse for low efficiency.
Our complexes, too, are constantly finishing up, but they do not raise excess noise.

[Svetlana]

Why compare ours and not ours?
...
Both that and others are improved and that and others are advertised. Advertised and the Carapace and the Dome and other systems

Yes, they are discussing.
But they don’t react to every sneeze (probably).

all discussions there boil down to one thing: the Russian S-200/300/400/500/100500 - it sucks, the Iron Dome - super-super-wunder-waffle. Do not be hopeful, there is leavened cheers-patriotism worse than ours.

Where did the firewood come from? From Russian-language sites on which Jewish immigrants from Ukraine used to serve at the military department under the USSR, or from Israeli Hebrew-speaking ones, where all sorts of pvoshniki and others communicate?

[Ka-52]

Where did the firewood come from? From Russian sites

I beg your pardon, but for a long time (a year ago) I did not remember the name of the forum. But Russian-speaking. I remember one of the arguments for the "slop" of the S-400 was a hackneyed argument about the impunity of attacks by the Israeli Air Force on targets in Syria. When trying to find out when it was Norkin's falcons attacked, Khmeimim was called, sent and banned

[Krasnodar]

These are emigrant gatherings, and people, the bulk of whom did not serve in the IDF - there are military sites in Hebrew, there are forums with interesting, fairly info and discussion topics. According to the Hebrew press, about the S-400 - from what I remember:
The S-300 air defense system has excellent detection capabilities, the maneuverability of a missile is not inferior to that of a modern fighter, etc. About S-400 - S-300 missiles, another, more advanced radar. On the S-500 - no one knows for sure what it is. About Armata tank - today, most likely, the best tank in the world. )))
This is me vskidku from memory.

[Shurik70]

At the expense of low efficiency, I would argue.
Its reliability is continuously tested in real conditions.
As if I did not relate to the foreign policy of Israel, but they cherish their people.
And the fact that after their loud statements about the imminent introduction of laser air defense, which will shoot down missiles "almost free of charge," they did not stop modernizing the Iron Dome, indicates that they are not "putting all their eggs in one basket," which is also correct.

Well, how about reliability?

[Shurik70]

And with reliability - increase. Jewish guys are not only smart, but also stubborn.
Although zerg rush breaks through any defense.
So, on November 12-13, 2018, a total of 460 artisanal rockets made "on the knee" (the most massive attack in recent years) were launched across Israel. Only 106 were able to intercept, and then they did not give time to recharge. And every anti-missile is an expensive piece.

From what I read, the bulk were all sorts of hailstones, and 80 percent of those who flew over the building were exactly these 106.

Yes, the dome has increased its effectiveness many times since the first interception.

Aron, well, tell us about the coolest 319 Israeli army division? How is it, forty percent of the equipment is not ready or sixty? I thought at least in the IDF order, but no. Aircraft are drowning, an entire division must be scrapped. Against this background, an iron dome, just a PR, to distract attention.

319 reserve division. Passes, like the whole army is now a fairly large modernization. But everything has its time. Today is not the situation that would give everything to the army. There are no direct threats of conventional war. But harsh criticism has not prevented anyone.

Strange, but what does the press write?: "The main division of the IDF is not ready for war!" .....
According to the report, more than 52% of the division’s vehicles, mainly trucks, cannot be used in case of war. The division is understaffed by 20% with night vision devices. From the report it follows that up to half of all tanks of the Merkava 4 division were “temporarily used” by the training division of the armored corps. Tanks, instead of standing in positions in the Upper Galilee, are in Arava. Also, 94 division radio stations are located at the Shizafon base and not in units. http://mignews.com/news/politic/world/190120_110602_34073.html?fbclid=IwAR2fHpMBgHjM8N9jtqK_Md0U3QuD7fS2BdlPAB7exm8LxjtJNOMqvZrumiU и так далее .... резервистская говорите? нуну

Russian air defense in Syria has more than 1000 interceptions per year.

[rocket757]

Everything is logical. The system "works", the system is being modernized for all kinds of perceived threats.
There will be no absolute protection, but the quality of work will be improved.
Everyone goes this way ... if they can, of course. Some just buy ready-made.

Israel Improves Iron Dome Air Defense / Missile Defense System

Now, in theory, the name must be changed, for example - "Dome made of stainless steel"
"Stainless steel dome" in English

[rocket757]

This is their business ... we don't have much interest there. Our systems are much more diverse, because everything is prepared for different theaters. We are big, "friends" from different sides, so we have to do a lot of different things.

[knn54]

Will watch.

[voyaka uh]

She seems to have been adapted for non-ballistic purposes.
Initially, the LCD was designed to intercept Grad missiles.
But experience is gaining, the application is expanding. They are threatening to build into the system and a laser for very close (up to 7 km) targets, where the LCD is weak.

Something like the Shell when you can give out? You perfectly understand that the tactical stationary is the last century. Israel so far saves in this regard only that it is very small in territory (well, and the fact that Iran has not taken it seriously. So far).

Something like the Shell is not interesting for the Israelis yet, but as for Iran - yes - it’s hard to beat the peaceful people, if anything.

[voyaka uh]

The Shell Rocket does not have a seeker. It only goes along the radio corridor of its ground-based radar.
The advantage is that a rocket is many times cheaper than an LCD rocket.
But there are also disadvantages ...
LCD - the lowest level of missile defense.
Against larger missiles, the David Sling was created. Even larger - Hatz (Arrow)

[Kuroneko]

Wonderful. I will not even criticize (although there is something for both the Dome and the Prashcha).
But the question didn’t see the answer: will there be mobile tactical complexes or what?

[voyaka uh]

Mobile I have not heard to design.
I think this is wrong due to the spread of drones.

[Demon_is_ada]

They will not design it, for them it is absolutely not expedient and costly. Israel is a small country and the distribution of the population is peculiar. For shooting in motion, radar requirements are enormously growing and cost is responsible and operational characteristics are falling, you can compare the shell and land. And their policy is aggressive in words but there’s simply nothing to wage an offensive war, Merkava will drown in the sand, so they are for good defense and preferably cheap ...

[Kuroneko]

Quote: Demon_is_ada

And their policy is aggressive in words

On the words? I understood you. = _ =
They also bomb / shell neighboring states in words
Okay. And the coffins from these "words" - this is so, purely virtual. The powerful words of Yiddish hurt.

[Demon_is_ada]

You apparently didn’t live in the east There, the image of the FSE, it’s money, alas ... People there are essentially not considered people for people, but the pomp in the window dress is required. It is very important there that the client thought of you and what he said out loud Take a look at the dances on the Pakistani Indian border and partially understand what I’m talking about, and it will only be superficial, the most interesting of them in the subconscious ...

The Israelis say that enough is enough - time will tell))
Macaron decided to show 10% of the French electorate (to Arabs) that he could build Israeli police I would have sent the plain text to hell in place of the cops. The type they entered before him in some kind of basilica in Jerusalem, owned by the French. Then, however, he apologized to them.

It’s possible that on the Camera. )))
France has a nasty situation - the Arabs freed from the yoke of colonialism rushed there in droves, thanks to which the Jews left from there to Israel, Canada and the States in droves, and with good money. The French have to reckon with their electorate, spoiling their lives literally at the household level, but the value of this state at the world level has fallen to a significant economic producer and consumer in Europe - no more.

Quote: Krasnodar

Perhaps the French in this way solve a painful problem? First, the Arabs will expel the Jews from France. Well, and then get rid of the Arabs by inviting, for example, Romanians or Albanians?
What was the need to bring the poor French, what would they prefer the Arabs? Horror.

Well, yes - but it’s on Israel’s hand)) Yes, they didn’t prefer it — they simply loused)).

Wooo, at least a sober look at things appeared, otherwise a year ago they threw everyone’s caps with their dome here ....

[ZaharoFF]

About once a year, the same thing. Just not to be forgotten, apparently.

[Mityay65]

The successful test series that we completed took place exactly 10 years after the first interception of the system

I remember how 10 years ago Israel declared "Katyushas are no more". Then the truth had to be completed for 10 years. Interestingly, completed this time? So the real effectiveness of intercepting a target such as a Katyusha missile does not exceed 30%.

[voyaka uh]

"I had to finish it for 10 years" ///
---
It is being completed "at work". For real goals. The enemy doesn't bang his ears either. The militants figure out how to overload and deceive the missile defense system. This is normal.
Therefore, the effectiveness of the LCD in several wars ranged from 70 to 90%. The improvement process is continuous.

[eagle owl]

Small question. And he is the dome ... At least once he fought against a normal attack?

after the first interception of the system

It is somehow clumsily written. Of course, I may not understand something, but it would not be more appropriate to write "with a result of 100%" and "interception by the system"?

[Fat]

As for the interception, the minister may have sinned a little, exaggerating, or maybe not. My friends do not go to the barbecue yet. The fact that Israel has made the system for intercepting NUR in a memorable, calm manner will be for the childhood friends who have settled there. I hope that stupid terrorist initiative on O will reduce, even for a while.
