Israel's Iron Dome explained by Professor Michael Clarke

The Iron Dome is part of a multi-layer air-defence system which is understood to be one of the most effective in the world.

Military analyst Michael Clarke explains if the system can be hacked, how it could be overwhelmed, and why no other country has one.

I think we were all wondering if the Iron Dome could be overwhelmed by fire power and sheer numbers, well I was anyway, and now we know!

[olliegatley]

Professor Micheal 'loves a good war' Clarke living his best life on sky news atm. 😂😂😂😂

[Lastride]

Yesterday the iron fome decided to ignore a lot of missiles. Multiple targets were hit

[michaelmullins]

Michael Clarke is the British version of the Iron Dome, in other words, what Clarke is to Britain, the Dome is to Israel.

F-35I travels at 1, 350 km/h and an Iranian Qadr MRBM with a 1, 000kg warhead, 13, 500 km/h. Iran shall be watching Israeli airbase activity like a shaheen falcon.

The reason why every country wants it is because it's FREE 😂😂😂

[BaronFlyingClub]

From what I saw on the news most of the missiles crashed into the ground after getting through.

Hacking the iron dome is virtually impossible. The reason is that all the DSP computers that are installed on it are completely embedded and have no connection to internet. So, this gives no viable entry point to the potential hacker.

From the videos online it appears the iron dome is for intercepting home made missiles

[chemophile]

So basically iron dome spent 30 million USD last night to intercept 200 missiles and drones.

Iron Dome made by the Money Dome of US Tax Payers.😂

Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah, before he was killed in an Israeli airstrike in Beirut, agreed to a ceasefire with Israel, Lebanese Foreign Minister Abdallah Bou Habib said on CNN.

"He agreed. Yes, the Lebanese side agreed. We consulted with Hezbollah, [Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih] Berri consulted with Hezbollah, and we informed US and French representatives [about the decision], " Bou Habib said.

[richardmarsden]

The Israel Defense Forces said it detected a fresh wave of shelling of the country’s north from Lebanon.

More than 100 munitions were launched, the IDF said.

According to the IDF, about 70 missiles were launched toward Western Galilee and another 30 projectiles toward Upper Galilee. Also, two missiles were launched in the direction of the Avivim village near the border.

0:55-1:03
correct me if im wrong
but I see around 15 missiles coming down
and only one is being shot

[stormcloud]

They let through 7? I counted at least 31 hits in one video alone on one site

[hourbee]

Sir, why would Britain need or want a system like this?

[AbdulEssa-kpvf]

The problem is Occupation and stealing the lands of your neighbours.
Syria - occupied Golan Heights
Lebanon - Sheba Farms
Palestine - Gaza and the West Bank
Egypt - Philadelphi corridor

[richardmarsden]

Israel got humiliated but got off lightly in the light of it's atrocities.

[STEVANHORNE-bv]

Where I come from we call it, PIE IN THE SKY NEWS!

[frankhalsey-yc]

Let's hope the Iron dome doesn't get overwhelmed with flying shovels.
