TIL: Israel has an ‘iron dome’ missile defense system that can stop 90-95% of all incoming missiles. It was developed in the 2000’s in cooperation with, you guessed it, the U.S and successful stopped its first missile in 2011. It works in all weather and is currently the best, most efficient and effective missile defense system in the entire world. It’s specifically designed for a smaller state like Israel but the U.S and many other countries have actually bought iron dome systems from Israel.
