"The most effective in the world": the creation of the Iron Dome missile defense systems begins for the needs of the United States

98

It became known about the formation of a joint venture organized by the Israeli company RAD (Rafael Advanced Defense) and the American Raytheon Technologies. The joint venture begins to create an Israeli-developed Iron Dome missile defense system for the needs of the United States.

The new partnership is called RRAPS (Raytheon-Rafael Area Protection Systems). As part of this partnership, not only launchers will be created, but also SkyHunter anti-missiles (Tamir anti-missile in the US version). Such weapons are capable of intercepting various types of missiles, including cruise missiles. Also, the missiles of the "Iron Dome" allow you to shoot down Drones and some ground fired munitions.



This will be the first project to create an Iron Dome missile defense system outside Israel.

Israel claims the Iron Dome missile defense systems are "the most effective in the world." If the Israeli producers are to be believed, the Iron Dome's hit rate is over 90%. It should be noted here that in the overwhelming majority of cases the Iron Dome missile defense system in Israel is used in the event of shelling from the Gaza Strip. At the same time, the missiles produced by Hamas representatives, frankly, can hardly be classified as advanced and truly modern.

However, in the United States, it is believed that it is the "Iron Dome" that will become a temporary means of protecting certain objects from cruise missiles, as well as from mortar attacks and drone attacks.

The US Congress has heard calls for the Trump administration to send Iron Dome missile defense systems to the Middle East, such as Baghdad. It is noted that "this will help build up protection against Iranian missiles."

According to the latest information, the US will receive the first Iron Dome missile defense systems at the end of this year.

      The iron dome, after all, is the NEAR air defense system.
      Against non-maneuvering ballistic targets.

            Well, that makes sense.
            As far as I understand, the rockets that are being fired at Israel now have gone far from those first primitive crafts that once were.
            And, plus, whatever one may say, Israel has a great operating experience, both in time and in the number of targets, and in their mass.
            And this is a very important issue - real experience, no polygon can replace.

                          LCD does not even pull on a full-fledged air defense system, because even with a massive raid of cash registers it cannot cope (missed almost half). By the way, the United States took an active part in the development of the LCD. From the Zulu with sticks, American bases around the world are just right to defend.

                  PS Honestly, three years ago, I assumed that with the help of Iran, the Palestinians would have better "products"! That is, the Palestinians could continue to "rivet" the qasams from the water pipes; but warheads could be supplied to them from Iran or somewhere else ... from a parallel universe, for example ... These warheads (warheads) could be of the type of guided mortar mines ... even gliding ... with relatively simple laser seeker or, even , television-command ... Passive radio frequency, coupled with sabotage methods, are not excluded ... It's easier to deliver warheads to the Palestinians than a whole rocket! Considering that many Palestinians work among the Israelis, there is the possibility of laying "sleeping" laser and radio frequency "beacons" at Israeli facilities, which are activated at the right time by radio or even by wire! But this has not happened yet! Although, this idea is "in the air"!

            with the most intense shelling, the efficiency dropped to 50%, and with single shelling, it did not rise above 80%. Of course, you can increase the efficiency "like we saw that the missiles would fall in a desert, uninhabited area, so we did not intercept". But the reality is that nothing modern checks these complexes did not pass.

        Here are the usage statistics for the Patriots. It is clear that no weapon can be 100% effective.
        Yemen Civil War

        In the summer of the 2015, the Patriot missiles intercepted a P-17 ballistic missile, which was released on Saudi Arabia by Hussites. 26 August launched another missile aimed at the territory of Saudi Arabia, but it was intercepted by the twin launch of the Patriots. In the fall, one rocket was able to hit the airfield, and the other fell in the desert.

        In the autumn of 2017, a ballistic missile launch was launched at Riad International Airport, which was intercepted by MIM-104 Patriot missiles.

        In July, Syria’s UAV 2017, which penetrated deep into Israeli territory approximately 10 km, was successfully shot down by the Patriot system.

        In July, the Patriot air defense missile system, 2018, shot down a SU-22 aircraft of the Syrian air force, which flew into Israeli airspace.

        During the Iraqi Freedom military operation, the Patriot batteries were deployed at the Kuwaiti Camp Doha with the goal of the missile defense of the headquarters of the coalition forces. In March 2003, this headquarters was hit hard by Iraq using tactical missiles. All the missiles were successfully intercepted and destroyed with the help of the Patriot anti-attack.

        Gulf military operations (1991 year)

        According to official US data, from 17 January 1991, the American observers registered the launch of operational tactical missiles 81 from a position in southern Iraq through Saudi Arabia and from a position in western Iraq at Israel, most of which were successfully intercepted on approach (they were shot down from the flight trajectory and fell close to the target or were divided into small fragments still in the air) - more 80 percent of the total number of attempts to intercept them over Saudi Accident and more 50 percent of successful interception cases over Israel According to US commanders, in a material published by 9 in December 1991 of the year in the newsletter Inside the Army, written by General Robert Droleta, a representative of the House Committee on Armed Forces Les Espin gave several other data during his speech in the spring of 1991 - 89% and 44%, respectively).

          Especially in 91, in Kuwait, they successfully intercepted Scud. The first war on-line. A beautiful hit of Petriot in Scud and a beautiful ricochet of Scud to the location of the American part. With a gorgeous bang. Many coffins covered with a stars-striped flag then went to their historical homeland. And everything was arranged. for the sake of a television picture, they did not shoot down on the distant approaches, but began to shoot when the scads were almost over the Petriots. Many singles know how to shoot down, but when the crowd flies to the Petriots; then they lay down in full. Saudi Arabia showed this. And the missiles are probably not super duper the Houthis had and didn’t have any. Zheleschny kumpol is to patch holes of the Patriot. And by the way, you quickly remembered the photos of Kumpol. There was an interesting object removed, a blue one with a white roof. It’s probably a bunker for shelter l / s, if the kumpol misses.

          There are many myths about the Gulf War. Iraq had an export version of the Elbrus complex with the R-300 missile, but the missile did not reach Israel. An El Hussein missile was fired at Israel, which had a serious flaw. The increased dimensions of the rocket, in comparison with the R-300, could not withstand the overloads that occurred when the rocket entered the dense layers of the atmosphere, and the rocket was often destroyed in flight. Iraq launched 91 missiles at Israel and Saudi Arabia (there are other data) of which only 47 were attempted to intercept. The rest of the missiles either did not reach the target for technical reasons, or flew.

          Well, let's see .. I don’t know if it is correct to compare IronDome with Patriot, after all, Patriot is a more multifunctional product, and IronKupol is purely against NUR.
          The cost of one LCD battery is $ 50 million for a battery / and $ 20 thousand for a rocket.
          The cost of one Patriot battery is $ 1 billion / and $ 3 million is a rocket.

          I think if the Israelis spent three lemma for each "rocket" that flies towards them, the Israeli economy would come to an end faster than the infrastructure. So yeah, probably learned how to do it cheaply. This system is narrowly specialized in ballistics - no drones / uavs, no extra functions in the rocket or on the product, and most importantly, what is called a huge experience of combat operation.

          We tend to have shorter and more efficient R&D.
          But when mass production is being established, the conveyor, then American
          products are getting cheaper.
          Therefore, the release of rockets for Zh.K. made in the USA. You need a lot of missiles - a conveyor belt.
          And radars and other electronics are made in Israel.

        and it is not expensive.


        In principle, I don't believe in the announced price of 40 thousand bucks for the LCD anti-missile. Yes, among the Jews themselves, Spike is 5 times higher. It's all strange.
        What is characteristic of an anti-missile LCD with ARGSN. And an AiM-120 with ARGS, for example, costs 1 million 300 thousand dollars.

          Well, given that the ZhK is engaged in the fight against non-maneuvering targets of a rather primitive design (without various tricks and anti-missile defense) by the method of remote detonation of warheads - the missile should not be expensive - it should fly quickly (short interception distances), create an effective engagement zone, be reliable ,finally. Most likely, the price of the missiles was indicated in sources such as Wikipedia according to the most primitive samples, most likely there is already some more extended range of products for the LCD, because the same Iran is progressing in missile technology. As far as I understand constructively, this is not God knows what product that keeps the system on a good radar and positioning and not on some clever bells and whistles.
          The United States is taking a slightly different path - there systems are designed against a more technically sophisticated enemy and a wider range of situations (in theory), and there, of course, the missile must be smart, especially since their last years have been interested in kinetic interception, this is a completely different level of accuracy. As far as I understand. And the speed of the targets that the Patriot must fight and the ability to maneuver, and the duality of the air defense / missile defense concept make the requirements for missiles very impressive ..
          Surely our missiles for the S-300 / S-400 are also very non-budget toys, they cannot be made there on a budget. High-speed maneuvering and accuracy are different requirements for design, quality of execution, complication thereof, more filling, larger size, more complex the launch complex itself, etc.

          So perhaps the way of dividing the functions of the product is not an empty idea in terms of price characteristics and the complexity / mass production of products.

        And what is shameful for the United States? Israel is one of the most reliable and technologically advanced allies of the United States. Much more advanced militarily and technically than most NATO countries. There are hundreds of joint ventures at all levels, from pharmaceuticals to rocket science. Without exception, all major American companies have R&D divisions in Israel. So Americans are not worried and the ego in matters of security or when it comes to money (profit) recedes into the last positions.

        A simple cut of money in the American-Jewish way, the same as the missile defense system in "Europe", and most of the American weapons. The Americans understand that no one will attack them, just like their slaves, they will not give a nuclear umbrella, as they understand that the basis of US air defense is aviation, but the budget must be mastered, so they scare themselves and their "allies" with Russia, China, Iran, Korea, etc.

      All the same, the ancestors, having passed the crucible of a terrible war, made 1000% correct conclusions on the construction of an echeloned air defense system, recalling the initial period of the Second World War, when the Nazi aviation reigned supreme in the sky and destroyed entire units of infantry, equipment, and materiel without significant resistance. Therefore, only in Russia were they able to create an echeloned and, most importantly, a mobile grouping where cover starts from the military link goes to the division, army and strategic forces.

      The iron dome is not even air defense, since it only knocks down those sub-missiles that fly to cities, and passes the rest so as not to waste expensive missiles. But if at least a Tornado or a Point were used against Israel, and even quite massively, we would look at the effectiveness. Against modern means of destruction, this will be an ordinary stationary complex, easily broken through. I think someone is not sickly enough on this pointless deal.

              The TAMIR missile, according to foreign publications, is capable of flying at a speed of Mach 2,2 and destroying enemy missiles at an altitude of 3 km. This missile is very mobile and can adjust its flight already in the air with the help of wings, the arrangement of which resembles the silhouette of air-to-air missiles - the fastest missiles designed to intercept combat aircraft and other fast targets.

              again discussing how to shoot down uncontrollable junk. Calculating their flight route is not a problem, and a nimble rocket is unnecessary, since none of the missiles (SMERCH, Hurricane and even the Point controlled along the entire flight route) is capable of intensive maneuvering and, accordingly, the anti-missile does not need to "strain ".

The rocket was fired by representatives of Hamas, what kind of rocket it was and for what reasons it calmly overcame more than 100 km over Israeli territory, is not specified. Earlier, two missiles were fired from Gaza in the direction of Tel Aviv on March 14. The Iron Dome did not intercept targets at that time either.
