Iron Dome

The Iron Dome is an Israeli mobile all-weather air defense system developed by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems and Israel Aerospace Industries. It is designed to intercept and destroy short-range rockets and artillery shells fired from distances of 4 to 70 kilometers away, with a goal of protecting populated areas. The system was declared operational in 2011 and has since been deployed in various locations, with the United States contributing over $1.6 billion to its development. As of 2021, it had intercepted over 1,200 rockets, and plans are in place to increase its range and versatility.learn more on wikipedia
