The US Army has received the second battery of the Israeli air defense complex "Iron Dome"

The American army received the second battery of the Israeli air defense complex "Iron Dome", the delivery was carried out over the weekend. The press service of the Israel Defense Forces reported.

Israel has completed the delivery of two batteries of the Iron Dome air defense system to the United States in accordance with a contract signed in 2019. The first battery was delivered to the United States in September 2020.

(...) the delivery of the "Iron Dome" to the US Army once again demonstrates the close relationship between the Israel Defense Ministry and the US Department of Defense, the effectiveness of the system against various threats and the excellent technological capabilities of the Israeli industry

- emphasized Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz.

In August 2019, the Pentagon purchased two Iron Dome batteries from Israel, including 12 launchers, 240 interceptor missiles, as well as a control system and radar stations. Later, the US military requested permission from Congress for an additional purchase of two more batteries, but in March 2020 announced the refusal of further purchases of the complex.

In Israel, the reason for this was the refusal to provide the Pentagon with the source codes (source codes) of the Iron Dome system. The United States said that the Israeli air defense system "did not fit" into the unified US missile defense system.

Meanwhile, military experts express doubts that the reason for the US abandonment of the Iron Dome was the impossibility of integrating it into the American missile defense system. The fact is that the Iron Dome has been integrated into the Israeli air defense network for many years, which consists of the overwhelming majority of the MIM-23 Hawk, MIM-104 Patriot and David's Sling complexes, which are built around American technology supplied by Raytheon, a participating company. in the development of the "Iron Dome" jointly with the Israeli company Rafael.

Earlier, the Pentagon said that the Israeli "Iron Dome" system could be adopted by the American army due to the failure of the program to create its own air defense system based on the AIM-120 AMRAAM and AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles.

85% of Israeli military-industrial complex specialists are from Russia

Quote: Dmitry Makarov

85% of Israeli military-industrial complex specialists are from Russia

This is a myth, because the real specialists from the Soviet military-industrial complex, who were of interest, have long been elderly people and do not work in Israeli enterprises. But of course they conveyed their experience - this is indisputable.

Quote: Thrifty

I wonder if the Israelis provided us codes, the Yankees would buy the dome

Unlikely, because they needed several samples for the possible resale of this system to those countries that do not officially maintain relations with Israel, and who want to organize their production.
The myth about codes is just an invention of the Israelis - the Americans will never buy such equipment in large quantities, because they initially leak information to the enemy, which means they cannot believe the Israelis that they were observing all measures of the secrecy regime. That is why purchases were limited to a small amount, most likely with the aim of checking this equipment at home or delivering to those regions where there is a high probability of its capture by the enemy.

USSR - then, the Israelis will have an unpleasant "surprise," such as a Chinese craft, a copy of a dome with much worse characteristics of hitting targets !!! That will ultimately lead to a blow to the image of the Israeli military-industrial complex.

Do not confuse the production of Chinese AK with the production of high-tech equipment - not everything the Chinese succeed with copying, so this option is not the most relevant for the Israelis. Yes, and all over the world have long known that Chinese smartphones are a class, but something more serious is already causing concern among those who are going to buy from them.

Quote: voyaka uh

Rather, the United States needs this system only to protect its foreign bases.

You have at least an idea how many American bases are in the zone of hot conflicts and where it is calmer, but the drones of some frostbitten terrorists can fly. With this approach, they have to buy dozens of batteries in Israel, but this was not observed in 2020.

Quote: voyaka uh

The most valuable thing in J.K. - Open architecture LMS. It can be easily incorporated into any missile defense / air defense system.

Maybe just for this they bought, so that later these developments would be transferred to those who are ready to buy American weapons, but are not ready to trade with Israel openly.

Quote: ccsr

And the whole world has long known that Chinese smartphones are a class

In America, Chinese smartphones (judging by the meaningless names like REVVL or Aristo from unknown companies) firmly occupy the very bottom of the lines of all providers, positioned for those who cannot or do not want to pay a little more. And the reviews about them are 2, it's good if 3 stars out of five. A little higher, and there is already Korea. And at the very top are LG, Samsung, and Apple. Of course, Apple is going in China, but the development of both hardware and software is American.
I once coveted the Google Pixel, I thought that although it was a Chinese craft, there was still a serious American company behind it, and the discount was huge on the occasion of the next model release. I got drunk so much that since then I only use Samsung.

I don't know how in America, but in Russia Chinese smartphones are widespread, starting with Huawei, Xiaomi and some other models of other companies. And for non-professionals, buying a Chinese smartphone for 20-30 thousand rubles is much more preferable than buying for 60-80 thousand rubles. brand models. Maybe I'm wrong, but it's better for me to change smartphones more often than keep one expensive for many years.
By the way, I bought the first Huawei mobile phones twenty years ago, when I was a user of the Moscow Cellular Communications company, which probably no one remembers anymore, but it was the first operator in Moscow. And what is interesting, the phones were of high quality even then, so I have no prejudice about this type of technology. But I will never buy a Chinese car - that's for sure.

I do not think so ...
Rather, the United States needs this system only to protect its foreign bases. That is, you don't need much. Rockets for Zh.K. and so are made mainly in the USA. In Israel - the smaller part. The most valuable thing in Zh.K. - Open architecture LMS. It can be easily incorporated into any missile defense / air defense system.

[cniza]

But what about this statement?

it became impossible to integrate it into the American missile defense system.

[voyaka uh]

This is something else. Computers and radars Zh.K. can be connected anywhere, to any missiles, guns, lasers.

[cniza]

Why are they philosophizing then or is it their usual mantras, as lobbyists of their military-industrial complex ...

[voyaka uh]

The states are trying to create a similar system. But mobile,
as a military missile defense / air defense. Not yet.
After all, J.K. designed to protect cities from Grad-Smerch missiles (plus,
a little less). Up to 70 km along the trajectory.
Now he is being trained to work against cruise missiles and drones.

The Barak rocket is many times more expensive than the Zh.K.
1,5 million versus $ 20,000.
But Barak-8 can also shoot down supersonic Brahmos, and J.K. can not.

[rocket757]

The Yankees have a priority concept, ATTACK !!! Here, they just had all the top type ... not against any opponent, well, so they do not climb where they can knock horns. In short, reliance on the Air Force.
Their house is far away, from all sorts of hot events, to be zealous, to protect it, it is worth it, only from some kind of stray ... and they do not run into a global blow, from which they cannot be protected ...
So everything is logical, to cover up some overseas bases, you can buy the appropriate systems, since with your span, at the moment.

At the same time, the option of serious protection is not visible there. hope for the first, sudden crushing blow, and even the enemy is chosen one in which there are not many chances to defend against a massive attack.
The remoteness of their home territory from the theater of war allows them to neglect many of the elements of defense that the countries that might be the target of their attack are forced to create.

The Tamir missile, according to foreign reports, is capable of flying at Mach 2,2 at its target and destroying it at altitudes up to 10 feet (about three kilometers). The missile is highly maneuverable and capable of correcting its trajectory thanks to large, maneuverable stabilizers that are deployed in a configuration similar to air-to-air missiles - extremely fast missiles designed to pursue fighters, moving targets and difficult to destroy.
The new version of the rocket costs about $ 50 per unit.

I wonder if the Israelis provided US codes, would the Yankees buy the dome further, or do they, like Indians, prioritize their technology, while massively purchasing what they themselves are unable to do, or what is expensive for them to manufacture? ??

[Pandiurin]

Apparently, the United States really could not develop something new of this class. Planned in the process of "buying" to borrow proven technical solutions. The position of the United States on air defense - missile defense is well-known, the correct one can only be American-made.

Who can tell me why Israel receives multibillion-dollar military aid every year?

The financial scheme, almost ideal, ingenious in its simplicity - so a contract, a loan was signed today, tomorrow from the United States, enterprises started working in order to implement the contract (accordingly taxes went to the treasury), financed well, let's say from those amounts received for "IOUs" in in the form of government bonds, we keep in mind that Israel, moreover, owes them and regularly pays both interest and amounts stipulated in the contract. So - the enterprises are working, the contract is being fulfilled, taxes and salaries are paid, which are immediately spent in stores, partly to pay taxes. It takes several years for a loan issued to Israel in this case to fight back, but Israel still owes it, and therefore, upon completion of supplies under the contract, the United States simply writes off the remainder of the debt to Israel and concludes the next contract, the industry must work otherwise the state will be without taxes, that is, funds, to fulfill their functions. In about the same way, money is earned on the unemployed, the poor and migrants who eat, sleep, shit, who need a roof over their heads and provide this with the appropriate production, that is, the receipt of taxes and no matter what money can be printed for this, a refund in the form of taxes to the treasury is already quite a civilian item of state income, and not counterfeiting. The example is a little rough, but the essence remains the same.

So what did Israel create there, before US military aid or recognition in the UN?

The attitude of the United States to Israel began to change, and then military assistance began only after the United States realized that Israel had already created a sufficiently powerful military industry capable of withstanding Arab ambitions, that Israel had built powerful armed forces that give a chance to undermine the influence of the USSR in the Middle East.

Here, in a nutshell, Israel received assistance before actual recognition, in return to serve the United States, or gave sovereignty to preserve. Military aid was used wisely. That is, the investment paid off. But before the help of the United States, Israel, as it were, was not official. Or is there a history of just modern Israel, before its recognition in the UN? Didn't Arab tribes live there, the same Palestinians?

The Americans (with all their disadvantages) have always been distinguished by rare pragmatism in matters of purchasing foreign weapons. I think that the Domes will be delivered to Iraq to protect the local American bases ...

In this way, the United States is solving several problems at once:
1. And it seems like Iran will be shown that they have cover from missile attacks.
2. And if something the system itself is tested in a real battle.,
3. And for their own soldiers it seems to be calmer - they are protected by one of the most modern missile defense systems
4. And of course they will get good additional experience while creating their own missile defense systems.
5. In addition, such advertising of the ally's weapons and ourselves as a co-author of the project is always a plus.

The US Army has received the second battery of the Israeli air defense complex "Iron Dome"

We sold what we don't need ourselves. Well, how can you, shameless.

All the "military merit" of this dome is the interception of Palestinian missiles made from old water pipes. This "iron dome" has never been used in real combat operations against an active army. So far, apart from PR in the pro-Israel and Israeli media, there is no other information about this weapon. So the Americans bought this weapon rather for informational purposes.

however, they actually shoot down those water pipes that only fly for a few seconds ... in an unpredictable trajectory and without any accompaniment or navigation ... it's much more difficult than shooting down a missile with a working guidance system ...
