where did you get these figures
wiki, news etc etc. from what My brain can remember.

figures for Iron dome varies in articles from 40k$ to 80k$..
for Aakash it is said that(in wiki) ~ half a million, but if check the number of order/money, its more(but including the other systems as well/increasing the capability of manufacturing facilities etc). Ramjet propulsion is the main reason here for being costly.
AAD/PAD - cost should be similar to prithvi missile or more..
Maitry - already talks are going on for 6B$ contract for a few thousand missiles, As its a quick reaction/more versatile.. So obviously will cost more.

This system might have been useful against Saddam's scuds and katusya's since most of
Pakistan's missiles are SCUD based it would be find a role? i am still puzzled where and how this
short range system would fit in?

I dont think tech is not within our reach, fire control radar and tech for LRTR is their, we need to miniaturised seeker radar or IR sensor, once that is done we have enough experience in missile to take on rockets and others short range missile.

many of these deals have nothing to do with defense needs or capability but
they are done for kickbacks. We already have atleast 1/2 dozen seekers tested from
ASTRA program.

LF now current policy is different police from old one, now we use what ever we can find and work on thing which is denied to us, that way some development time has been cut shot, but we have also worked on those tech which we have taken from others.

Good example is PAD seeker, taken from Russia then we made our own.

@sayareakd, Lethalforce It is ell known that the Israelis do not play fair. Some acquaintances of mine in the IAF(they are way senior to me and were discuusin something that i overheard) said that a classified anti-radiation missile bought from Israel proved to be faulty. Once pointed out, the Israelis corrected them in 2 months!!!!

Israel's Rafael and Raytheon to co-produce Iron Dome


Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, Israel's second-largest state-owned defense company, is reported ready to start co-producing its Iron Dome anti-missile defense system with the Raytheon Co. of the United States, consolidating an alliance that's already developing the Stunner interceptor missile of Rafael's David's Sling system designed by Rafael.

Defense News, a U.S. weekly, says Rafael is expected to sign on to a new deal with Raytheon, the world's biggest missile manufacturer, on the Tamir, Iron Dome's maneuverable, radar-guided interceptor.

Raytheon, headquartered at Waltham, Mass., said in 2012 it would welcome the opportunity to partner Rafael on Iron Dome production.

Under the new arrangement, Raytheon would head a group of U.S. subcontractors for co-production of Tamir components and subsystems, with final assembly of the missile batteries carried out by Rafael in Israel.

Iron Dome is the only combat-tested component of a planned four-tier missile defense shield Israel is constructing.

Defense News reported a final agreement between the U.S. and Israel governments is expected within weeks.

Iron dome may not be important in BMD program, But was important protecting vital Indian Army installations, The system is more a tactical than strategic defense ..

There is no other system in the world like Iron dome, Proven over battlefield ..

I still don't know where iron dome fits in? Israelis use it for khatshya rocket interceptions.
