Israel’s Iron Dome

▪️The system is designed to counter cheap, numerous and ineffective rockets fired by Hamas and Hezbollah and the occasional precision guided weapon, not large quantities of precision guided weapons;

▪️While recent conflicts see 1000s of rockets fired at Israel, most are not targeted by the Iron Dome because they are deemed not a threat to critical targets;

▪️Production rates for Iron Dome interceptors are likely sufficient for all future scenarios of this manner;

▪️However, should 100s or even 1000s of cheap but effective precision guided rockets/missiles/drones be used in future conflicts, the Iron Dome will likely face depletion;

▪️A strategic shift would require Hezbollah and its allies to produce more precision guided weapons than US-Israeli production of Iron Dome interceptors;

▪️It is almost a certainty that such production has increased faster since 2006 than US-Israeli production of Iron Dome interceptors, but it remains to be seen if it has increased enough to overwhelm Iron Dome;
