    Gizmodo: "Each interceptor rocket can cost up to $90,000 a pop. And sometimes it takes more than one Israeli rocket to stop a rocket attack. This adds up—the IDF says Iron Dome has intercepted 307 rockets in the past 5 days alone. This is, of course, on top of the system's total price tag; Israel says it'll invest $1 billion on expanding Iron Dome, and the US is chipping in over $200 million to help out."

    • contrast with cost of whatever gum & spitball rockets that are falling on Israel.TheBlueOne
    • @TBO had it not been for the iron dome you'd see much more casualties from that gum and spitball comboadded_valium
    • seems like that'd make you much happier. the israelis should apologize for their superior tech and intel..added_valium
    • Ever see that movie 'Charlie Wilson's war'? The tactic in afganistan there was to give the Afghanis $5k rockets to kill $5M choppers.monNom
    • $5M russian helicopters. Basically make it so expensive to be in afganistan that the russians eventually give up.monNom
    • anyways, that's probablyh the strategy here. They could hurl garbage in trebuchets, and as long as the IRON DOME is functional...monNom
    • working, it's slowly eating up the Isreali budget.monNom
    • my point - it isn't garbage. those are rockets with explosives aimed specifically at civilians. inferior as they may beadded_valium
    • $200m investment, and the US doesn't get a peek at the tech they've paid for. Clever Israelis.detritus
