The Critical Vulnerability: How Iran Could Outsmart Iron Dome

The Iron Dome is the best known of Israel’s air defence systems, designed to target shorter-range rockets which larger systems are unable to detect. Through a critical analysis, The Observer has announced that the Israeli escalation against Iran is dangerous. The British newspaper points out that Iron Dome is not really impenetrable. In a remarkable shift in the dynamics of unconventional warfare, Iran has successfully managed to overwhelm Israel’s Iron Dome system through a massive missile assault using older, low-cost rockets, creating unprecedented disarray in the Zionist entity’s air defense performance. The escalating conflict following Israel's surprise attack on Iran on 13 June, has revealed gaps in Israel's Iron Dome defense. The waves of retaliatory strikes from Iran has seen some of Iran ' s ballistic missiles pierce the missile defence system to hit key targets. How has Iran managed to break through? While we do not know exactly how some Iranian missiles made it past Israeli air defence systems, there are a few possible ways Iranian drones and missiles. Iran has primarily challenged Israel’s aerial defences through saturation attacks, launching numerous missiles and drones in waves. Israel’s defence system consists of several tiers: the Iron Dome for short-range rockets, David’s Sling for medium-range missiles and cruise missiles, and the Arrow 2 and Arrow 3 systems for long-range. According to battlefield footage and expert assessments, Tehran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) launched a complex, multi-layered assault that temporarily crippled Israel’s defensive capabilities and revealed major flaws in its high-tech missile shield. Iranian forces unleashed barrage of missiles on Israel early Monday, targeting major cities including Tel Aviv and Haifa, marking a dramatic escalation in tensions between the two regional powers. The assault damaged residential areas and raised global concerns about the potential for a wider Middle Eastern conflict. Iran ' s Revolutionary Guards claim their latest missile strike used a method that confused Israel’s multi-layered air defence systems — causing them to target each other. Here's how the air defence system is designed to work.
