      wouldn’t flooding the skies with low tech rockets work… now?

      The interceptors are crazy expensive compared to hatchet job rockets and vastly outnumbered by them too, they couldn’t and can’t stop them if they tried, why not launch hundreds of smaller rockets along with these bigger payloads?

        I think the rockets have a minimum size due to the range, so the calculation is different compared to Hamas rockets. That said, those interceptors run out very quickly, and surely ballistic missiles are harder to shoot down with the standard iron dome interceptors (which seems to have been designed for targeting relatively small slow locally fired rockets).

        thats what hamas does, first they use a swarm of cheap missiles and then use a good one to blow up the iron dome while its aiming at the cheap ones

      Maybe you haven´t been following the news, but Hamas and Hezbollah are not in a position where they can do anything. Iran is on its own.

      (I suspect hezbollah has a grudge againstItzn for not helping them when Israel invaded lebanon)
