What are those projectiles powered with…. They seem really slow . Do they just go straight up and fall down randomly?
I know that destroying the missiles / rockets in flight is better than having them impact, but I’ve always wondered what it’s like after — when all the debris is falling from the sky. I still remember older footage that showed a giant piece falling down. Are there special considerations they implement to prevent casualties from that?
Iron dome could be the coolest name ever
Is there a difference in explosions between when a missile is intercepted or when the SAMs self-detonate? I mean, are we just looking at the fired Iron Dome missiles blowing themselves up?
That system will never not impress me.
This makes appreciate the technology so much – and also to never trust the doomsayers – they talked about hitting a bullet with a bullet being impossible and look at us now!
WDYM by “Lebanese” ? Those are from Hezbollah, not the lebanese army
Reminds me of the futuristic scene from Stargate Atlantis with the drones.
I wonder just how many of those highrise rooftops over there are just coated in metal debris.
Imagine the software optimization on those..
Iron Dome is just incredible.
I assume that every launch site is blown up by the IDF shortly afterwards?
What about the falling debris?
It’s kind of interesting that Hezbollah’s response has been pretty muted. I was expecting them to launch like 5,000 rockets at a time and overwhelm the Iron Dome, as awesome as it is.
Hopefully the pager attacks and subsequent decapitation strikes really did the trick. On the other hand I can see how Hez would want to stretch this out for as long as possible.
At what point does Israel’s supply of intercept rockets become strained?
Another billion dollars to israel
*Hezbollah
Since when is a Hezbollah missile barrage a “Lebanese Missile Barrage”?
Sounds like the kind of language chosen if the goal is attacking the entire Lebanon instead of just Hezbollah..
Absolutely crazy to me that they live like this. Sirens going off like that must fuck you up a little bit. Waiting for a bomb to get through.
