Israel’s Iron Dome is globally renowned for its exceptional accuracy in intercepting short-range rockets and artillery shells. The system uses advanced radar and software to identify which incoming projectiles pose a threat to populated areas, engaging only those that would cause damage. Each battery can protect an area of approximately 150 square kilometers, using Tamir interceptor missiles that are significantly more cost-effective than comparable systems. With a proven combat success rate exceeding 90% and the ability to operate in all weather conditions, the Iron Dome is one of the most effective point defence systems in the world.
