Iran launched over 200 drones and cruise missiles at Israel, prompting the activation of Israel's Iron Dome defense system. The Iron Dome, consisting of missile-defense batteries strategically placed across the country, tracks and intercepts incoming rockets. While the system is well-prepared for drones, challenges arise if the drones fly too low or in large numbers.
On Saturday, Iran launched more than 200 drones and cruise missiles at Israel . As the drones made their way across the Middle East en route to their target, Israel has invoked a number of defense system s to impede their progress. None will be more important than the Iron Dome . The Iron Dome , operational for well over a decade, comprises at least 10 missile-defense batteries strategically distributed around the country.
“Because there’s so much indication of warning in advance of the UAS, presumably there’s going to be a lot of fixed-wing, manned aircraft that are looking at these things, tracking these things, and presumably trying to engage these things,” says Tom Karako, director of the Missile Defense Project at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a policy think tank.
