What's the cost of one of those Iron Dome guided interceptor missiles vs. the cost of an unguided rocket.

Numbers I've seen but have no verification are $100k per interceptor and around $800 per for the sugar, fertilizer, steel pipe, dynamite warhead, and other assorted parts to make a hamas rocket. Said rockets have killed less than three dozen Israelis in the last twenty years.

I wonder quite a bit about this myself. How much money are we sending them for this? How much of it is just grift straight into various defense contractors? US? Foreign?

About 75% of the $3.3 billion in military aid we give Israel each year is required to be spent on American products. I believe we have an agreement to phase that to 100% over the next decade or so.

I'm sure Israel would gladly partner with China if we cut that aid though

Guess steel prices haven't hit the ME yet, because that's a big rocket for just $800.

Iron Dome only engages if the inbound is going to hit something important. The correct question is what’s the cost of one of the interceptors vs. the value of what the unguided rocket is going to blow up.

So many people can recall the IDF destroying Saddam's nuclear reactor that the French were building for them.

Welp, turns out that was stupid on their part because: 1. It couldn't produce fissile isotopes needed by design and 2. It just strengthened Iraqi resolve

Seems like the IDF likes making a lot of mistakes to do shows of force. Wonder what world superpower they learned that from.
