I’ve read something on twitter about how apparently recently Iran finally used like one of their modern rockets and dealt major damage to Israel; apparently they were using their old, 20-30 year old missiles to overwhelm the iron dome and then after getting rid of Israel’s iron dome, they’ll use their newest tech.

Actually pretty well thought out.

      Yeah this type of AD tends to produce misfires like that. Happened several times in Ukraine, even one where they hit a hospital with their own AD and blamed it on Russia.

      Like a lot of reasons why you shouldn’t put this shit near civilian infrastructure. IIRC Iron Dome, David Sling and Arrow systems are all mobile, but they have them parked in dense residential areas. Pretty much guaranteed to kill at least of a few of their own people, but then, who am I to tell zios not to bomb themselves?
