ISRAELI DEFENSE EXPERT: IRON DOME IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST BLUFFS EVER SEEN
Gaza, 11 Dzulqa’dah 1435/6 September 2014 (MINA) – ‘Israel’ Defense Prize winner and aerospace engineering expert Dr. Moti Shefer told Radio 103 in an interview last Thursday that that Iron Dome was one of the biggest bluffs ever seen.
Palestinian rockets, though defenseless, are believed to be a desparate means used by the resistance movements in Gaza to respond to the Israeli aggression, ALRAY, Palestinian Media Agency quoted by Mi’raj Islamic News Agency (MINA) as reporting.
So far, mainstream Israeli media have reported no fatal casualties caused by the home-made rockets, however, the harm they seem to be inflicting on the colonial settler community is a dozen cases of mild injury and panic.
Latest figures on the Palestinian side after eight days of offensive show that 175 Palestinians, with 40% of them are women and children, have been killed, and some 1150 injured so far.
The rising death toll among the besieged Gaza community has been the result of Israeli forces intensifying air raids on populated homes, as 245 civilian houses have been bombed and completely or semi-completely destroyed until the moment, the latest of which was a house for Al-Hadidi family in the Al-Shate’ refugee camp, west of Gaza City.
Quoted by Globes, an Israel business news website, he said, “There is no missile in the world today able to intercept missiles or rockets. Iron Dome is a sound and light show that is intercepting only Israeli public opinion, and itself, of course. Actually, all the explosions you see in the sky are self explosions. No Iron Dome missile has ever collided with a single rocket.
Open spaces are a myth invented in order to up Iron Dome’s current interception percentages. The rockets announced as intercepted by Iron Dome either never reach the ground, or are virtual rockets invented and destroyed on the Iron Dom control computer. To this day, no one has ever seen an intercepted rocket fall to the ground.”
He continued, “What lands here is what’s launched. The parts we see on the ground are from Iron Dome itself. We’re shooting at ourselves, mainly virtually. The virtual rocket was invented in order to increase the vagueness surrounding Iron Dome. Assume that a real rocket arrives.
What does the command and control system do? It creates nine more virtual rockets, and transmits their paths on computer graphics to the rocket launcher operators. The launcher operators see 10 rockets and launch 10 Iron Dome interceptors. People hear 10 booms, one rocket enters, and you get a 90% success rate.”
According to Dr. Shefer, Iron Dome is a part of a broad conspiracy, in which two interested parties afraid of peace are participating: the defense industries and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Brigadier General (res.) Daniel Gold, who initiated Iron Dome, responded scornfully: “I won’t make personal remarks here. Let him believe what he wants to believe. Anyone can see what the truth is here.
All the interceptions to date are recorded and documented. We’re the startup nation because of things like this, and this is much bigger than a startup. They put 300-400 of the most talented people here, who worked like crazy, with determination. It works.”
Dr. Shefer’s ideas for developing interception systems were universally rejected before Iron Dome was developed. (T/P3/R01)
