Iron Dome Missile Defense System: Unable to Save Fake Israel (: Ashkenazi Khazaria)

ISRAEL’S MAGIC LAMP: IRON DOME MISSILE DEFENSE Since its inception, Israel has faced difficult political and military challenges. It defines the operational space in which IDF exists, the nature of development of its armed forces and of individual weapons systems it uses. The key objective and permanent factors include: Israel’s geography, with the 470km-long country being no more than 135km wide Hostile environment, including unresolved territorial disputes with neighbors and the Palestinian problem Close proximity to borders of major cities and critical infrastructure At the same time, Israel did not treat its adversaries’ ability to use rockets as a priority for a long time, therefore establishing a comprehensive anti-ballistic missile system was not among its priorities either. The situation changed after the 1991 Gulf War, when Iraq struck Israeli cities using improved Soviet R-17 (NATO classification SS-1b Scud-B) ballistic missiles.
