Iron Dome is the Israelite new missile defense system. Designed to be mobile, all-weather, with the purpose of intercepting and destroying short-range rockets and artillery shells fired from the distances 4 kilometers to 70 kilometers.
Oh, they are still developing this defense system, even though they already deployed it in the rocket attacks from Hamas currently. The system is expected to have increased range of interception up to 250 kilometers with the possibility of intercepting rockets from 2 different directions simultaneously.
Ironically, even though Iron Dome is considered the most effective missile shield the world have ever seen, it actually comes with a hefty price tags. $50 million per battery with $20,000 per interception. Though some said with Tamir interceptor missile, the cost of interception will be as high as $60,000 per interception. And all that cost, against the Hamas $800 home-made Qassam rockets
