It essentially prevented a full scale armed conflict like this past year from 2011-2023. How many lives has it saved over that 12 years?

The system can be overwhelmed by having too many incoming rockets, so it does have its limits.

Ugh, that title.

TBH, I think the Israel iron dome system is justified. Bombing Palestinians is not.

One is defensive and one is a genocide over land. Not really a hard choice for sane people.

The iron dome enables the genocide.

Iron enables the genocide.

Not really a hard choice for sane people.

So basically, your perspective is that a system that protects Israeli civilians is immoral because every single Israeli is immoral? Yeah, that seems very sane. /s

That’s actually a very low price for an anti-air missile. For comparison, the Stinger shoulder-fired missile costs more than twice as much. A Patriot missile costs four million dollars (but is much more capable). Presumably minimizing cost was a high priority when this missile was designed. Nonetheless, the cost asymmetry is one reason why degrading the ability of Hamas and Hezbollah to fire missiles at Israel is important.

Also, depends on what version and flavor of PAC it is

Absolutely. In the late '80s I was part of an anti-tank guided missile evaluation; each rocket cost around $70k then, so around $185k per today.

Hope it bankrupts them.

SpaceNoodle ,

Why would it? The US is paying for it.

phoneymouse ,

The US? Cause that’s who’s paying.

steventhedev ,

So you hope that Hamas and Hezbollah continue firing rockets at civilians?

Deceptichum ,

I hope Israel stops committing genocide and slaughtering civilians.

How about ending the colonization? That’s the only way to peace.

bobburger ,

What happens after it bankrupts them?

small44 ,

They would no longer be in position of power to decide the term of a potential two state solution

bobburger ,

So no Israel is bankrupt and has no power or military capabilities, who has the power to decide what kind of solution is enacted?
