I'm not sure about failing but it can certainly be saturated. They don't have an infinite amount of interceptors. Which has been my question since Israel started striking everything around them, they are going to run out of ammo eventually for offensive and defensive operations. And what happens then?
Looking at the Wikipedia about the Iron Dome
So this single attack cost them 30 million dollars at the minimum just in terms of ammunition.
Pretty worth it if the interception saves even one life, imo. And as I recall, the iron dome is programmed to anticipate where the missile will hit, and if it’s landing in the middle of nowhere it just lets it go. Saves on interceptors.
The official estimate is $1.3 Billion for the nights festivities. Doesn't seem very sustainable anyways ...
That’s part of the billions and billions in defense the US and UK are supplying them with.
Even US reserves are not unlimited, at least not for bombs which they have been dipping into heavily
You underestimate the depths of the US military's pockets.
Over 4,300 rockets were reported as intercepts from May 11-21 of 2021, 470 in the first night. The volume of this 300-candle middle-finger isn't very noteworthy in comparison.
You think they screw our vets and deny us free healthcare and education just so our politicians can roll around in Bugatti's? They're subservient to the military industrial complex, who ensures we're well fucking stocked on "deterrents"
