Ukraine downs Russian drones but some get through due to gaps in air protection

The Iron Dome anti--missile shield is a defense system designed to destroy rockets, artillery shells or drones aimed at populated areas in mid-flight. It can perform in all-weather conditions and is capable of intercepting missiles from a range of between 4 and 70 kilometers. The first Iron Dome battery was installed in March 2011 near the southern Israeli city of Beersheva -- some 40km from the Gaza Strip. Other batteries have since been deployed with the aim of defending the entire Israeli territory. A rocked fired from within the 70km radius is detected by the Iron Dome’s mobile tracking radar. The data is sent to the battle management control, which assesses threat and calculates the likely point of impact. If the rocket is heading towards populated or built-up areas, it decides to intercept. The target is shot down in mid-flight and within seconds by an interceptor missile launched from one of the system’s three firing units, each equipped with 20 missiles. The Israeli army says 75 to 90 percent of attempted interceptions are successful -- at an estimated cost of 50,000 dollars each time.

The laser technology is intended to complement the Iron Dome and other systems to meet new threats. Israel unveiled the Iron Dome a decade ago, and the military says it has been a great success, with a 90% interception rate against incoming rocket fire during four wars against militants in the Gaza Strip.
