This is probably the clearest & greatest example of why America needs more people manufacturing missiles. Iron Dome & David's Sling partially failed here in this video, but the much larger reason for the successful strikes are that the Iranians have a very advanced missile program. Some of the...

You heard it here first: Iron Dome is essentially free for Israel, since it is now in mass production and its manufacturing is subsidised by export orders to the tune of billions. The ability of the Tamir interceptors to shoot down ballistic missiles was first seen in June, in their terminal attack phase, and it totally inverts the cost equation between Iran and Israel in the missile anti-missile war. The interceptors are much cheaper than the missiles, and so far their launch systems have proven impervious to counterattack, even agaisnt the largest ballistic missile inventory ever assembled. Rumours of Israel running short on interceptors are false. The IDF has begun using interceptors against some of the cluster munitions, itself an extraordinary feat—to be able to assess the risk of up to 80 munitions at once and fire off dozens of interceptors to hit the ones that pose the most danger. In the first weeks of this war, Israel did not attempt to intercept the small munitions, since they pose minimal risk to civilians under shelter. Their lethal blast radius is just a few metres, and many are failing to detonate. In total, the thousands of bomblets killed three people. Since videos now show Iron Dome activated against this negligible threat, the IDF clearly feels that the remaining Iranian and Hezbollah stockpiles are no match for their own interceptor stockpiles. The IDF claims to have intercepted about 93% of the 600 or so missiles fired at Israel from Iran, and while there are huge amounts of disinformation on this topic, the facts are the facts: some 500 tonnes of high explosive launched at Israel (500–1,000 kg per missile) has led to just 20 deaths, all civilians. So whatever Israel is doing, it is working.

Empty pockets… 'Ukraine has no money to produce ballistic missiles' – WSJ - Although the 'Flamingo' missile is capable of delivering a powerful strike, its impressive size makes it an easy target for Russian air defense systems. To deal with this, experts say Ukraine might try launching several missiles simultaneously, but this requires significant investment. - The problem for Kiev is that they have not had funds for production for some time. They have been actively talking about their ability to produce ballistic missiles and are trying to do so. They also have another missile – the 'Neptune'. This is also a cruise missile. And they say they simply do not have the funds to produce them. - SK

#WATCH | ANI National Security Summit 2.0: DRDO Chairman Dr Samir V Kamat says, "For short-range ballistic missiles, the Pralay is now in the final stages of testing. With respect to hypersonic, we are working on two programs, the hypersonic glide missile and the hypersonic cruise missiles. The glide missile will come out first. We should be doing the first trials fairly soon. And that is at a more advanced stage than the cruise missile. The cruise missile program has not yet been sanctioned, although we are working on the various technologies which will get into the cruise missile..." "For short-range ballistic missiles, the Pralay is now in the final stages of testing and should be ready. Then we have some of our strategic missiles, which can be converted to tactical usage for the medium range and the long range. With respect to hypersonic, we are working on two programs, the hypersonic glide missile and the hypersonic cruise missiles. The hypersonic cruise missiles is one which has a scramjet engine and it is powered during its flight. The hypersonic glide missile is a missile which uses a booster to give it initial velocity, and then it just glides without any powering. The glide missile will come out first. We should be doing the first trials fairly soon. And that is at a more advanced stage than the cruise missile. The cruise missile program has not yet been sanctioned, although we are working on the various technologies which will get into the cruise missile. Recently, we have done a scramjet propulsion for more than 1,000 seconds. So that's been a major achievement, and once the program is sanctioned, we'll convert the scramjet propulsion into a working missile system. And I think that should take about five years after the sanction."

Vice President JD Vance just gave a perfect explanation for why the United States is pushing to acquire Greenland. "Greenland is critical not just to our national security, but to the world's national security. People don't realize this. The entire missile defense infrastructure is partially dependent on Greenland." "If, God forbid, in the future, somebody launched a nuclear missile into our continent, they launched a nuclear missile at Europe. Greenland is a critical part of that missile defense. So you ask yourself, have the Europeans, have the Danes done a proper job of securing Greenland and making sure it can continue to serve as an anchor for world security and missile defense? And the answer is, obviously, they haven't. They've underinvested in their security. They haven't done a good job of securing that area, that land mass." BINGO.

🚨This is what interceptor reality looks like today: Systems like Russia’s S-300 are high-tech air defenses. They can, in theory, shoot down aircraft, cruise missiles, and even ballistic missiles. But modern attacks don’t try to beat these systems head-on. Instead, they use swarms of missiles, drones, and decoys to overwhelm radar and confuse interceptors. Low-flying cruise missiles slip under radar coverage, while electronic warfare jams sensors. In the Russia-Ukraine war, ballistic missiles and drones are used together. This combination makes strikes deadlier, even though Ukraine intercepts up to 90% of drones. In the ongoing Israel-Iran conflict, Israel's multi-layered air defense systems such as the Iron Dome, David's Sling, and Arrow 2/3 have achieved high but not perfect interception rates against Iranian ballistic missiles. The numbers still favor the attacker: defenders may have dozens of interceptors, but attackers can launch hundreds of targets. Air defense gives you better odds, not certainty. Every missile launched is a roll of the dice, and the math always catches up eventually.

TRUMP UNVEILS GOLDEN DOME MISSLE DEFENSE SYSTEM. President Donald Trump said he had selected a design for the $175 billion Golden Dome missile defense shield and named U.S. Space Force General Michael Guetlein, to lead the ambitious program aimed at blocking threats from China and Russia. This is a Manhattan Project-scale mission, one that is both urgent and crucial to America’s security. Lockheed Martin is ready to partner with the best in industry, emerging, and large technology companies together to safeguard our nation. We lead the MDA’s National Team for C2BMC and successfully built the world’s most powerful missile defense software network, which connects forces around the world 24x7. This operationally proven, layered missile defense system allows commanders to make synchronized decisions about threats at any range, in any phase of flight, from any location in the world. From surface to space, Lockheed Martin is delivering combat-proven layered defense solutions so the U.S. and allies can stay ahead of accelerating threats. Our integrated air and missile defense systems provide the most advanced radars and sensors, command and control networks, satellites, targets, interceptors, and directed energy systems in the world. NGI is a first line of defense, tip-to-tail interceptor within the Missile Defense Agency’s Ground-based Midcourse Defense (GMD) system. PAC-3 is a world leader in defense technology for air defense missile systems, delivering unmatched capability across multi-domain environments. SBIRS serves as a critical missile warning system, utilizing infrared surveillance for early missile detection. The Long Range Discrimination Radar (LRDR) program is the backbone of the Missile Defense Agency’s layered defense strategy to protect the U.S. homeland from ballistic missile attacks. Sentinel A4 is a high-performance surveillance radar, replacing the legacy Sentinel A3, enhancing defense against cruise missiles, UAVs, and air threats. Aegis Combat System, the Navy’s most modern surface combat system, employs the SPY-1 radar for threat detection at sea. Experience the combat-proven THAAD, a top missile interceptor, protecting against ballistic threats with unmatched effectiveness. The F-35 is the most advanced node in a 21st Century Security network-centric architecture with the ability to securely connect high-tech platforms to share information across every domain. With a combination of all these advanced weapons, A.I., direct energy weapons (DEWs), and the finest aircraft and military in the world, let's just say this is like Skynet from Terminator movies on steroids. America will have the best country missle defense system in the world. Source: Lockheed Martin

🇮🇷⚔️🇺🇸Iran or US: Who will win missile war or attrition? Russian military expert, historian of the Air Defense Forces Yuri Knutov explains: 💬 "If we look at the numbers being cited, Iran is said to have between 2,000 and 4,000 missiles. At a launch rate of around 100 or more per day, that would suggest roughly a month of sustained high-intensity missile attacks. As for THAAD interceptors, about 650 have been produced in total, with 150 used during a previous attack. That would leave roughly 400 remaining, possibly fewer. With careful and efficient use, that stock could last around 10 days — perhaps as little as five. If we’re talking about Patriot missiles, the US stockpile is larger, of course, but it can be depleted as well. Especially if they launch 10 missiles against a single Iranian ballistic missile, then they would have enough for three weeks, and that's with a very, very large margin. 👉 So Iran has a very important trump card right now. And if it uses its missiles correctly, saving its most technologically advanced ones, the hypersonic Fattahs, for the final stage—and the Fattahs are not intercepted at all by Israeli Arrow-3 missiles, nor by American THAAD and Patriot systems—then Iran essentially has a chance to land a very painful blow on Israel and the US. And in that way, essentially, to take revenge for the surprise attack carried out on Iran. [The US] produces around 55 interceptors per month, which is not enough to rapidly replenish heavy battlefield usage. New production facilities are under construction in Germany and Romania, but they are not yet operational. While some missiles could potentially be sourced from Arab states, yet Arab countries are using these missiles too. That’s why I say that given this intensity, this missile use can endure from two to three weeks, four weeks tops. But we don’t know the situation in Iran. It’s possible Iran has underground plants where ballistic missiles are produced as well."

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Why Are U.S. Air Defenses Struggling to Stop Iranian Missiles? The U.S. and its allies have deployed some of the world's most advanced missile defenses, including THAAD and Patriot, yet Iranian missiles have still managed to penetrate the defensive shield. The issue may not be that Patriot or THAAD are completely ineffective. The bigger challenges include large missile salvos, limited interceptor stocks, short reaction times and possible damage to radars and air defense infrastructure. Iran may also be attempting to overwhelm the network through saturation attacks, forcing defenders to spend expensive interceptors against waves of incoming missiles. The key question is no longer whether U.S. air defenses can intercept Iranian missiles. They can. The real question is whether the U.S. and its allies have enough interceptors, radars and operational launchers to sustain the defense during a prolonged missile war.

Key statements by chief designer of Fire Point company Denys Shtilerman Denys Shtilierman on the Ukrainian FP-7 and FP-9 ballistic missiles: ▪️ The FP-7 ballistic missile will soon be tested against targets in Russia. ▪️ A clone of the S-300 missile has been developed for existing launchers. After integration with radar systems - a complex process - it could form the basis of an anti-ballistic shield under the Freya project. ▪️ The missiles are cheaper than the original S-300 due to simplification and the use of new manufacturing technologies. ▪️ The missile can also be used as a cheaper analogue of ATACMS. This is how the FP-7 missile with a range of up to 300 km, depending on the warhead, was developed. ▪️ The FP-7 warhead is expected to be larger than that of ATACMS, while the missile itself will cost 2.5 times less. ▪️ The developers say they are ready to produce as many FP-7 missiles as ordered. Unlike Flamingo, which currently faces engine production issues, FP-7 has no manufacturing bottlenecks. ▪️ Combat use of the FP-7 is expected to begin before summer. ▪️ The longer-range FP-9 ballistic missile is also intended, among other things, for strikes on Moscow - according to the developers, attacks on provincial targets do not impress Russia’s top leadership. ▪️ Tests of the FP-9 are expected to begin in early summer. The engine is currently being finalized. The missile’s range is up to 800 km. ▪️ FP-9 will be difficult to intercept: the speed of the Iskander-M is about 800 m/s, while FP-9 is expected to reach 1200 m/s. ▪️ The goal is for 25% of the missiles to penetrate Moscow’s air defenses and hit their targets. Cruise missiles and drones cannot reach targets in Moscow because they are intercepted. ▪️ Our luck is that in Russia the cost of missile production is inflated several times over because of theft.

⚡🇮🇷 Iran’s use of cluster munition warheads is creating a serious challenge for Israel’s air defense network. These weapons split mid-air into multiple submunitions, turning a single incoming missile into dozens of smaller threats. This complicates interception. Systems like Iron Dome are optimized to stop individual rockets or missiles, but once a cluster payload disperses, each bomblet becomes a separate target. Recent reports indicate that this tactic is not about a single breakthrough, but about saturation and complexity. Even with high interception rates overall, a small number of missiles or submunitions getting through can still cause damage. The result is not a complete failure of the system, but a growing pressure point. Cluster munitions increase the burden on interceptors, force earlier engagement decisions, and expose limits in any layered defense.

Under Secretary Emil Michael (Under Secretary of War Emil Michael) on what the Department of War CTO is doing to help scale munitions for the Department of War 🇺🇸: "We signed deals with low-cost cruise missile providers, and the reason we chose cruise missiles is because they're relatively simple weapons. So, [these companies] are all building a less than $500k cruise missile. The equivalent cost of a cruise missile is $2 million, so it's a fourth of the cost, and it's designed for the manufacturing process, so their ability to scale is flexible."

🚨BREAKING…🚨 Iran just launched roughly 20 ballistic missiles toward Israel, with reports that at least two impacts occurred in Tel Aviv. Let’s be clear about something many people misunderstand. Missile defense systems like Iron Dome, David’s Sling, and Arrow are not designed to achieve 100 percent interception. No missile defense system in the world does. Their purpose is to reduce casualties and protect infrastructure by intercepting the majority of incoming threats. When you see reports of “missiles penetrating Iron Dome,” that does not mean the system failed. It means the defense network is doing exactly what it was designed to do… intercept most while minimizing damage from the few that get through. Iran’s strategy is saturation… firing waves to try to overwhelm defenses. Israel’s strategy is layered interception and destroying launch infrastructure. Two completely different forms of warfare colliding in real time. And while missiles are being launched tonight… Launch sites, depots, and command networks are being targeted in response. This is not just a missile exchange. It’s a war of logistics, interception rates, and infrastructure destruction. Watch the launchers… not just the missiles. That’s where the real war is being decided. #SilentMajoritySpeaks #AStoneGroove

🚨BREAKING…🚨 Iran just launched roughly 20 ballistic missiles toward Israel, with reports that at least two impacts occurred in Tel Aviv. Let’s be clear about something many people misunderstand. Missile defense systems like Iron Dome, David’s Sling, and Arrow are not designed to achieve 100 percent interception. No missile defense system in the world does. Their purpose is to reduce casualties and protect infrastructure by intercepting the majority of incoming threats. When you see reports of “missiles penetrating Iron Dome,” that does not mean the system failed. It means the defense network is doing exactly what it was designed to do… intercept most while minimizing damage from the few that get through. Iran’s strategy is saturation… firing waves to try to overwhelm defenses. Israel’s strategy is layered interception and destroying launch infrastructure. Two completely different forms of warfare colliding in real time. And while missiles are being launched tonight… Launch sites, depots, and command networks are being targeted in response. This is not just a missile exchange. It’s a war of logistics, interception rates, and infrastructure destruction. Watch the launchers… not just the missiles. That’s where the real war is being decided. #SilentMajoritySpeaks #AStoneGroove

The reality in Ukraine right now is that sometimes we do not have the missiles needed to intercept ballistic missiles. That is why we launched a new Anti-Ballistic Missile Program that includes coordination across the political, governmental, and industrial dimensions and can deliver anti-ballistic weapons at scale: the system and the missiles for it. We named the program FREYJA, and today our Anti-Ballistic Missile Coalition held its first, inaugural meeting. Thank you, friends, for your support. It is important that European companies are also represented – specifically those that manufacture critical components for defense systems: Fire Point, Thales, Diehl Defence, Saab, Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace, Weibel, Leonardo, Sener, MBDA, Eurosam, Safran, and Destinus. Each of us has important pieces. Ukraine has missiles, but they are only part of the system. Together, over the next 12 months, we can build this system at scale – FREYJA. Joint press conference with the co-chairs of the Coalition of the Willing. (1/3)

The heavy shadow of Iranian missiles over Pentagon calculations: war with Iran is a catastrophe with a high human and financial cost! ▪️Dan Caldwell, senior adviser to the US Secretary of Defense, in an interview with Tucker Carlson: “They have an effective missile force, a powerful proxy force in Iraq, and a very sophisticated drone program.” ▪️"In my view, Iran's missile force is even more important than its potential nuclear program. They see their missiles as the last guarantor of survival - both of the regime and the nation. A war with Iran could be extremely costly."

🚨 HOLY HELLLLLLL: Iran just took out a $1.1 billion radar at the most fortified US base in the Middle East with a single missile. THIS IS BAD!!! That radar was the backbone of ALL US missile defense in the Gulf. Every Patriot. Every THAAD. Now operating blind. Qatar intercepted 101 missiles during this conflict. Two got through. One hit the only target that mattered. This is asymmetric warfare in one sentence: Iran has to succeed once. We have to be perfect every time. We weren’t. The US just promised Navy escorts will protect Gulf shipping lanes. But if we couldn’t protect a $1.1 billion radar inside our own base — What are those escorts actually guaranteeing? The petrodollar runs through a Strait we can no longer credibly protect. One missile just changed everything.

All six Kalibr missiles were shot down last night, and 31 out of 33 cruise missiles were intercepted, meaning whenever the necessary capabilities are available, our warriors deliver truly high interception rates. That is the only explanation for the problem with ballistic missiles – insufficient number of interceptors. This is especially true for Patriots. We have proven to all our partners both the need, and more importantly, the possibility of providing greater protection of lives. It is simply nonsensical that, in today’s world, production has still not been scaled up to the level that is actually needed to protect people from ballistic terror. We have long made the case that we are capable of producing such defensive weapons ourselves. If Ukraine were granted U.S. licenses to produce Patriots, our own production would be sufficient both to protect Ukraine and to help partners in need. We are in contact with everyone around the world who can provide air defense missiles now. This is our top priority.
