The first Iron Dome anti-rocket system, was deployed on 'operational evaluation' near Beer Sheva in the Israeli Negev desert on March 2011. Weeks later it successfully engaged multiple salvos of 122mm rockets fired from Gaza at the city.

Isreal shouldn’t give a damn thing to the us, it would be taken by the obama regime and given to the terrorists including iran.
Not until MItt’s in office.
Obama will just give it to the Russians and Chicoms.
was thinking the exact same thing
Ping.
BINGO! We have a winner!
I see two possible reasons for this demand. The first is that the US wants in on proprietary data the Israelis have but have not shared; and it also wants a veto on who the Israelis can sell the system to. And these are both important.
That proprietary data is important to the US so it can learn how to overcome Iron Dome if necessary, or repair what others have done to overcome it. Of secondary importance to develop its own systems. (Though I think the US should be developing 3 or 4 generations beyond Iron Dome for our purposes).
The veto is very important, because several very important pieces of Israeli military tech have already leaked to nations we do not want to get such technology. Israel might make confidentiality and use agreements with other countries, but it cannot enforce those agreements.
This article is BS. I know personally that the US Missile Command in Huntsville Alabama has ample access to the research and development for the entire Arrow Missile Program. Same goes for other allied research and development along the same lines of technology from both Germany and Japan. Maybe the truth lies in this article not being aware that there are more allied research efforts and the US military actaully has the fourth program... all independent of one another but assuredly with input from Israel, Germany and Japan the US program is the most advanced.
While not this technology, the Israelis were quite busy giving their own and our technology to the Chicoms till we took them behind the woodshed and told them to cut it out.
You nailed that. When he leaves the White House I hope someone has the sense to change all the locks, codes and computer access info.
I’m just amazed at how, at the same time that much of the Left is becoming openly anti-Israel, some conservatives have let themselves get to the point where they are more pro-Israel than pro-America. Neither path is a good one.
I believe the distinction here is that the Arrow contains both US funding and technology (Boeing) while the Iron Dome has little or no American technological input.
They would be utter fools to trust it anywhere near obastard.
You are correct, as clinton was selling our technology to the chicoms...
Set up a deal with India, and tell the slavemaster to go scr*w himself.
The US is not an ally.
And idea on the size of that system? It looks like it would be transportable on whatever can haul a 20 foot container.
Im sure the Muslim Brotherhood Officials Obama has Appointed to the State Department,Defense Depatment,Homeland Security would love to have The Information on the missle defense system also
And somehow get it to the Iranians, the Taliban and the Muslim Brotherhood governments he is installing throughout North Africa and the non-Saudi portions of the Arabian peninsula.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Probably better for Israel to make them themselves.
