Thats insane. The accuracy is just inconceivable
-
Must be a pretty surreal thing to witness first hand... Amazing system. :aok
-
I wish they would mount a camera on the nose of one of those. It would be cool to see the intercept.

I miss robotech :salute :cheers:

To be honest capturing all this from the ground outside of a shelter looking up directly is very dangerous thing... Finally the debris are still falling down and quite dangerous. Even debris make serious damage.
Also it is amazing technology and looks cool at Youtube, it really isn't cool at all to be around when this happens... especially when you at an open space without any shelter around lying on the ground and seeing this "white puffy clouds" above your head.

Very true. But it's better then letting the damn things in to hit the city. Give it time and they will just install shield tech.

I was wondering about the fallout.

Good shoot Israel! Awesome! :aok

Beats having the intact rocket on your head though.

Pretty nice shooting Israel.
And the IDF girl is having a smoke and texting.

There is a chick of the video?.
I am reappraising the said link :old:

Disgraceful how the dastardly warmongering Isreali's are destroying the defenceless rockets of good old peace loving Hamas
-
Looks like CGI to me :old:
Yes the video does indeed look like one of the viral CGI / video hybrids. Especially the way how the missiles do a reversal to track the target looks fishy.
-
Yes :old:

That's a key part of the Iron Dome interceptor's engagement strategy. They fly out ahead of the incoming warhead then turn into them, head on, to achieve maximum kinetic destructive potential. Come to think of it, several SAM systems use the same strategy for closing threats.

The Iron Dome are HOers? They should learn some ACM!!! :devil

CGI, by intention looks very real. So by saying it looks like CGI you realize of course that you're saying it looks very real.

They're also rammers! :aok

i really can not imagine a better way to kill an opponent. Head On. :bolt:
did they destroy more than one rocket per rocket? as in did the Israeli rocket detonate and destroy multiple hamas rockets? and how many rockets got through?
-

Well, it TRIES to look real. But most often it tries to make unreal things look real, that's why when you see a totally real looking house start to float off its foundation and fly away, it might be a good indication its cgi. ;)

Its been done by those people who did the "First Man on the Moon" film :old:
Its obviously fake :old:

Ok then it makes more sense because it looked to me like the missile turned to chase the projectile, which would make it pretty impossible to catch probably.
Just read about it - the hamas builds their unguided rockets for 600 bucks a piece and the iron dome hits them with a 40 000 dollar rocket. All they need to do is keep launching and it will hurt economically even if nothing lands.

$40k is not a lot of money nowadays :)
Isreal sells $7 billion in arms, india buys a lot of it because it does not like Pakistan who are always in a bad mood and support loons :rofl
All this coin going round and round and I dont get any of it :rofl

If you count 10 000 x 600 dollars and 10 000 x 40 000 dollars you quickly see which one is on the losing end.

Having no money does not mean your on the losing side :rofl
The US is bankrupt but carrys on regardless like italy and spain

Do you want to compare the GDP of Gaza and Israel? Also, this is the selling price not the production costs and on top of that, the money is recycled back into Israel's economy (rockets developed and made in Israel).
The ability to watch your enemies main weapon and pride shatter against Iron Dome is priceless. They shot thousands of rockets into Israel for 50 days and did practically no damage except for being a nuisance and bringing a similar number of air-strikes on their heads in return. What Artik said is true - the debris is dangerous and can cause some damage too. Many interceptions were happening over my parents house and debris was raining down on them. One rocket motor piece destroyed the neighbors kids swing in their yard - so Hamas can celebrate one destroyed swing in their favor. Hizballa also now watched in horror how their main strategic threat against Israel has been neutralized.
The other system that got less publicity is "Trophy" anti-anti-tank system. Hamas has learned from Hizballa's experience and equipped itself with lots of anti-tank missiles. They failed to destroy a single tank inspite of numerous launches - all destroyed by Trophy.
Well, it TRIES to look real. But most often it tries to make unreal things look real, that's why when you see a totally real looking house start to float off its foundation and fly away, it might be a good indication its cgi. ;)
They really do that in the air. Puzzling thing to watch.
My brother got married in 2012 during the previous Gaza round. On their wedding album pictures there is one where he and his bride are posing for the camera, but in the background there are two trails of Iron dome shooting up into the skies. This was completely un-intentional which makes it even more hillarious.

Awesome math skills there mate. If firing those 40,000 dollar rockets stops them from losing the war, then how cost effective were they?
Let me tell you what they can't afford, losing the war. Every penny you save because you were cheap will be taken from you when the enemy overruns your country and owns it.

It is the global economy IMF World bank is the US

All this fighting is getting worse because of global warming. Before humans came and made everything warmer, things were not as warm.

Yes he is right :old:

Doesn't change the fact that it's bleeding money from your country as your enemies (Egypt, Iran, Syria etc.) are feeding Hizbollah with currency to build the crude weapons.
Make no mistake I'm very impressed with the military technology Israelis have developed.

What are bagels about?
They taste of nothing!
They are fake doughnuts :mad:
-
You have been mislead by the evil anti bagel bakery conspiracy. There was a fantastic local bagel chain here called Kettleman's. Line out the door so to speak, it was all about the bagels. Bought by absolutely misnamed Einstein Bros Bagels. Barfgels. Place is empty. Corporate rollup BS if you ask me. They might as well just come clean and say "We grow by buying customers, because the american public will eat sh...t and call it a bagel if we tell them to."

Sounds like Gucci clothing line

So Bagels and the Iron Dome system are a marketing ploy! :old:
I dont think the Iron Dome will be as popular as fake doghnuts :old:

All wars cost money. In the case of Iron Dome, the system actually saves money to Israel - shooting down a rocket headed to an urban area is cheaper than letting it hit.
First, not all rockets are intercepted. 4,594 rockets were fired, but less than 800 rockets were intercepted. The others, the large majority, were allowed to fall since it was calculated that they will not hit anything of value - usually fields or open areas. The system is very accurate in predicting the trajectory of the rockets.
This just hit me: 188 of the rockets fired from Gaza fell on Gaza and probably did more damage in that dense urban area than the 4,406 rockets that made it into Israel - oh, the irony!
Second, if a rocket hits an urban area, the government has to pay for the damage to private property, as well as for fixing the infrastructure. One destroyed building will cost more than many Iron Dome interceptors. Wounded civilians cost the country a lot of money as well.
Third, and this is more on the hypothetical level, had the rockets done serious damage or killed many Israeli civilians, Israel would have had no choice but to go into Gaza with brutal force to secure the ground and stop the rockets. Iron Dome is what allowed Israel to fight this as a low intensity war with a very limited ground action (that went in to destry the tunnels rather than stop the rockets) and almost "ignore" the rockets. A large scale operation would have cost an order of magnitude more than what this action did.

Another anecdote about Iron Dome economy:
One would think that this system will bring a great profit to its developers. Rafael, the main developer of the system is having great difficulties in selling the system to other countries, despite the excellent performance demonstrated. Oddly, no other western country has a problem with barrages of rockets falling on their cities. :headscratch:
-
I will buy it :old:
