Iron Dome
What is the Iron Dome?
Iran launched an attack on Israel, sending over 300 uncrewed drones and missiles towards various targets in the country. In response to these threats, Israel relies on a defense system known as the Iron Dome. This innovative technology is designed to intercept and destroy incoming rockets and artillery shells, providing a crucial layer of protection for the people of Israel.
How does the Iron Dome work?
The Iron Dome uses advanced radar systems to detect incoming threats and determine their trajectory. Once a threat is identified, the system calculates the optimal interception point and launches a missile to destroy the incoming projectile mid-air. This rapid response capability has proven to be highly effective in protecting Israeli civilians and infrastructure from enemy attacks.
