Deployment of their system plus dry runs of 900 mile airstrikes...? Things that make you go hmmmmm....

Good!

I always wondered why the Israeli's didn't look at the C-RAM system. I've seen the C-RAM system up close and personal in Iraq, and can attest that it works quite well (I'm still alive).

Did I just read that this system can intercept not only missiles but mortar shells, too?

That's quite a feat. Can anti-artillery systems be far behind?

[SlapHappyPappy]

I frankly believe that both the US and Israel have far more advanced anti-missile systems than either government wants the world to know.

As soon as the system is known and active, the efforts will be dramatically enhanced to defeat the system.

This would be very good. Good luck to them.

The "Iron Dome" system is expected to be fully operational within a year and will be able to intercept the military-grade Katyusha rockets used by Lebanon's Hezbollah militia and the cruder Qassam rockets favoured by Hamas. Citing Israeli security officials, public radio said the system would also be effective against mortar fire which has a much smaller window of warning.

Thanks Ernest.
