ALERT Regional middleast war thread Israel and Iran at war

Where is Iron Dome?
The Iron Dome primarily intercepts short-range rockets and artillery shells.

For protection against ballistic missiles, Israel relies on systems like David's Sling for medium-range threats, and the Arrow system (Arrow 2 and Arrow 3) for longer-range ballistic missile defense.

This is a less proven system than the Iron Dome and a 60% success rate would be considered high.

Are you sure about that?
I've got NYPrepper playing on YT, and one of his live feeds is the Russian/Polish border. It's been low traffic for days, but right now the exit gate is clogged with I think people leaving Russia for Poland... :shkr:

Watch more videos on Twitter. They got hammered.
I watched the videos. But no way of knowing where those that landed exploded. Those may have been all the ones that ended up in the desert. I note there was a distinct lack of secondary explosions which would likely occur if they hit anything important. Also note that Israelis say no casualties. That is inconsistent with the stated Iranian success rate, and I'll trust the Israelis over the Iranians any day. I'm not saying none got through, but I'd wager it wasn't anywhere close to 80%.

Iran says Israel will face "crushing" attacks if they respond (via FOXnews)

Of course, Israel has already said there will be a response. (me)

Iran launched 181 ballistic missiles. (via FOX)

I find it interesting there has been basically no reaction from the markets to this. Nasdaq is down a % but that was down before the missiles started flying. I think more in response to long-shoreman strike since Nasdaq is tech-heavy and they do a lot of their manufacturing overseas.

Now running for Emperor.
Only the ARROW and Patriot systems are capable of shooting down balistic missiles. Iron dome, is very short range. They can only take out short range rockets.
FWIW, the Iron Beam system is likely in play; it would be interesting to know it's full capabilities.

We're not going to "see" it performing unless somebody just happens to be recording with gear that can pick up that range of energy.

Here's the VIX. Look at the spike when the 1st info came out about an imminent Iranian attack then a small correction as we waited. Next spike is the attack and now it's retracing with the attack ending. Market was red everywhere but oil and PM's. Still looks ugly

Someone should wake up Biden and show him this clip.

2020. Biden on Trump - "As the walls close in on this man, I'm worried that he is going to get us into a war with Iran. Unfortunately I may have been right."
