(Ha'aretz) Uzi Rubin - Prof. Ted Postol of MIT - a veteran opponent of the doctrine of anti-missile defense - has claimed that Israel's Iron Dome anti-missile system succeeded in intercepting only 5-10% of the rockets fired into Israel in Nov. 2012, while the IDF claimed that more than 80% of the rockets aimed at built-up areas were intercepted and destroyed in the air. Both the IDF and Hamas say that over 1,500 rockets were fired. About 480 rockets were about to fall in built-up areas. But if only 10% of the rockets were intercepted, where did the other 430 rockets go? The IDF has studied and reconstructed each interception with the help of a complete and detailed sky picture received from the myriad sophisticated sensors that document every engagement. The rocket battles, successful or not, have been fully reconstructed and analyzed, interception after interception, and the results are unambiguous: The success rate matches the IDF's statements. The author is head of the Homa administration for anti-missile defense at the Ministry of Defense.2013-03-19 00:00:00Full Article
