The iron dome obviously isnt designed for ballistic smart missiles.
It designed for fire and forget missiles so it can calculate the path and shoot it down when needed.
This is totally different and the ballistic missiles are much faster.
That's a very small "explosion." That looks like missile debris, not an active warhead detonation.
What goes up, must come down. Everything that is intercepted will reign down debris. That's a hell out a lot less damage than would have occurred had the missile not be intercepted.
I'm confused. In physics "ballistic" means something that is projected but otherwise only affected by gravity (or something like that). What makes ballistic missiles different? (Honest question, and I know I could Google it but would prefer to ask my reddit friends)
