Israelischer Zivilist filmt Doppelteam-Abfang iranischer Raketen

I would pay thousands to see this kind of air show

double the tax dollars. double the show

For the record, it is standard practice for SAMs to be launched two at the time at same target. As the interception is time-critical, it is not useful to pinch pennies and launch only one, if you can meaningfully increase change of interception by launching two. This applies as much to missile as aircraft targets.

I’d guess these are David’s Sling. Seems like first pair was forced into too tight maneuver and missed, but with second pair, both would have hit the target.

The more they have to use two interceptors for every one missile, the quicker they run out of interceptors. Inshallah

I’m just now realizing, where does that stuff go from there? Like, that’s not floating into space.

Dam..these rockets can pull some crazy Gs

What happens to the two that missed? Do they explode on their own in the air?

I mean they might technically be Iranian in origin of manufacture, but Iron Dome is usually used on smaller rockets fired from Lebanon these days. Iranian ballistic missiles are out of the engagement envelope for Iron Dome due to terminal speed at that range.

Not trying to imply this is AI or something, but does someone has an explanation as to why there would be rocket exhaust at the terminal phase? I know some of the ballistic missile Iran launches fire up the rocket engine before impact, but this isn’t one of those.
