How does Israel plan to handle thousands of launches of these things against its frontier towns and cities when Hezbollah pre-emptively learns of USAF plans to bomb them?
Is the PAC-3 system sufficient to shoot down more than Roman candles?

Will probably just get more advanced tech from the us they'll try to pass off as their own.
Evan Myers
PAC-3 seems to be performing well in Saudi against the Houthi scuds right now.
Angel Price
What about the dozens of public, and possibly more un-reported failures?
The only saving grace so far has been the abysmal, WW2- era accuracy of Houthi SCUDs.
Oliver Reed
Hopefully not well and it results in thousands killed.
Thomas Watson
The only failures I know of are the one or two times where the interceptor failed to target and slammed into the ground. It seems to be effective enough at not letting through ballistic missiles.
Nathaniel Cox
Based and redpilled
Sebastian Collins
Anyone have that gif of the CIWS taking a missile down? The one where it's just a bunch of people walking down a pedestrian zone and they have to immediately take cover?

Guys
I just heard that Hezbollah border troops shot at an Israeli outpost. The fire is returned since 5:45.
Tyler Roberts
Neat
Parker Garcia
Pretty great at hitting the ground

>How does Israel plan to handle
Exactly the same way they handled it in 2006.
Luis Evans
Israel doesn't use PAC-3, your bait failed before you were out of the starting gate.

>USAF bombing Hezbollah
A scenario unlikely to an extreme.
A more likely order of things:
>Massive IAF opening strike against known launch sites not located in population centers
>Followed and supported by STS missiles/artillery
>Commando raids against coordination HQs
>Attempt at swift ground maneuvers to cover main launch areas, and then methodically working backwards to dismantle lunch sites/operators in missed areas and population centers
>With past experience, many Israeli civis will self-evacuate to the south which is under lesser threat
>Patriot will play less of a roll as it's not built to deal with such threats
>Iron Dome will be pushed to the limit, likely starting to fail at some point
Basically, nothing out of the ordinary.

>These dozens of failures that I cannot give specific examples of.
You mean when the first interceptor hit the missile and the second followed the debris into the ground.
Nolan Foster
Yup. Patriot seems to be working fine.
Gavin Gonzalez
>These dozens of failures that I cannot give specific examples of.
>He's pretending the videos don't exist.
>Assuming there aren't numerous other failures not captured on video and away from private smartphone cameras.
Jesus Christ, is this some sort of Muttnik coping mechanism?

He might be phoneposting. It's quite inconvenient to assemble a bibliography when you're using a mobile browser.

One thing to keep in mind OP is that even if all defenses fail, Israelis aren't helpless. They have shelters literally everywhere, at every office building, apartment complex, and most houses, with public ones in most neighborhoods. Israel does its best to protect it's people from getting killed
Luis Harris
Plus, dead civvies won’t reach a level to actually affect the Israeli war effort. It’ll just unite the international community behind them.
