It is also reported that the Dome, however succesful in shooting down Hamas missile, it fails to neutralise the explosive warhead which remains intact after falling out of sky and.can.still go off.

and also these missile interceptors would not be able to take down hypersonic missiles which pakistan is rumored to induct in near future.
Who's gonna pay for that? I doubt China would be stupid enough to trust Pak with their latest tech, ever. I would say they are already cautious given the Uighur problem.

It isn't needed I read somewhere that each missle the iron dome launches is very very expensive compared to the rocket that is fired into it.

I don't know about the Hamas missiles but Israeli Tamir missile has a price tag of £60.000 each. A battery holds 20 missiles.

Read carefully into Iron Dome success. As 144 rockets were fired into Israel, CNN was reporting last week that it stopped two. Rest were allowed to fall harmlessly in the open. A bit more analysis with marketing aside, indicates that iron dome kills 80% of the rockets fired. They use Iron Dome only sparingly and fire when they are sure it will kill the rocket shell. This gives high it high kill rate. It is pure marketing. What if the rockets are fired in a cluster. How will iron Dome distinguish which one is deadly and which one is not. Although Israelis claim to be able to distinguish dummies from the lethal shots. But again truth is known to them only.

In indian condition imagine four Pakistani trucks with four Babur cruise missile are simultaneously how will Iron Dome distinguish the lethal Babur which carries the nuclear warhead. Otherwise Iron Dome is useless.

Its 160/190 rockets intercept attempted.

Due to the high cost of the interceptors, those rockets whose ballistic trajectory terminates in a non-built-up area or on open fields are not flagged for interception.

Iron done has 85% success rate...??
Someone is misinformed as per WP it neutralised 160 out of some 700 odd rockets fired

The estimated cost of each Tamir interceptor missile is approx US$20,000.

The estimated cost of each rocket fired by Hamas is between US$800-US$4,000 depending on model and range.

As soon as a rocket is fired, its ballistic trajectory is computed and terminal point identified.

The C4I system has the entire map of Israel identified into safe and danger zones.

Any rocket which will terminate in the safe zone and danger zone are automatically segregated by the C4I,

Operator is alerted about the segregated data. Operator generally ignores all safe zone marked rockets and fires interceptors only on the danger zone marked rockets.

However, in case of barrage attacks, the system has automated/unmanned operations provisions. The C4I can be switched to automatic mode where it will automatically launch interceptors against rockets marked to hit danger zones.

Also, @Hari Sud, Iron Dome is a C-RAM system. That is, Counter-Rocket/Artillery/Mortar. All of these follow ballistic trajectory. Iron Dome is not a Cruise Missile Defence system, and is not supposed to intercept cruise missiles.

My Dear Pulkit,

Apart from reading the 03 years old article over and over again. You may also try to go through reports in newspapers and press briefings by IDF. You may also draw your conclusions from them than just relying on a study done by someone based on some unknown data ( that too very old ).

Hope it might be helpful to you one fine day.

According to some people it will be very useful in case of restricted war for Soldiers in battle field as it will be able to defend them from any small range subsonic missile launched ....
Iron dome would not usefull against any missile threats India faces.
