“On your next [президентский] In time, I will build an excellent Iron Dome, just like Israel did, and even better. Why don’t we have it yet? We need him.

Trump added that the American Iron Dome will not only help strengthen US security, but will also create many jobs.

The Iron Dome anti-missile system is designed to intercept short-range unguided missiles. Its development began in 2004 in connection with the shelling of southern Israeli cities by radical Palestinian groups with homemade Qassam missiles or Soviet-made missiles; the developers were Israel Aerospace Industries and Rafael Advanced Defense Systems. In March 2011, the system was put into service and in April of the same year, for the first time, successfully intercepted a Grad missile launched from the Gaza Strip. In 2020-2021, tests were carried out on an upgraded version of the system, which gained the ability to intercept various unmanned aerial vehicles.
