That's the name of a short video somebody sent me. It features the Israeli "Iron Dome" defense system in action.
I think he got it from the Horowitz site, but I really don't care.
I have a technical question....
The video shows a hose-like stream of projectiles going after several different rockets. Thousands of rounds. Those things are 6 inches in diameter.
What happens to those rounds that miss? Where are they falling?
Anybody know?

(2,398 posts)Some say it's a video of something else. Only the Israeli navy uses the Phalanx system...which this appears to be.
My question remains... What happens in the impact area for all those projectiles?... Where are they falling?

(1,919 posts)Iron Dome is missile based.
Did it look like R2D2 with a gun? Like this? -
If it was something like that, then the rounds hit the ground somewhere, just like every other gun.
