Now all we need is our own even smaller rocket system that shoots those rockets before they shoot our rockets

I guess egypt won't bully them anymore xD!

I'm not sure Hamas is investing in anti-matter bean cannons just yet.
[QUOTE=Taishu;21127823]I don't think anyone has ever claimed that. All the money to fund their military comes from America however.
Also why the fuck would Israel ever need this? Hamas only have those crappy rockets that can't hit for shit.[/QUOTE]
To increase their rep with people who get hard ons for this kind of things.
Can this system be fooled by throwing heavy rocks do you think? I wonder how often it needs to be resupplied or whether its own missiles are small enough that they can fit hundreds in?
[QUOTE=Wakka;21130643]Does it have a defense mechanism against incoming enemy rocks?[/QUOTE]
yeah the airforce is called in and they drop bombs and white phosphorous on their house lol
Sounds like a patriot missile but in a much smaller form. This is a rad idea.
I want this implanted on my head
except it fires at [I]EVERYTHING[/I]
[QUOTE=Thom12255;21125979]And people say Israel gets everything for their Military from America.[/QUOTE]
They get everything for their forged passports from Britain. :eng101:
[QUOTE=Linelor;21126097]The system was a joint development between the US and Israel. We contracted Raytheon and they contracted 2 companies in Israel to do it. Americans know it as Quick Kill though while the Israelis call it Trophy.
Essentially it's those shotgun-like things you see on the Strykers in Modern Warfare 2 if anyone has played that shitty excuse for a game.[/QUOTE]
Wrong. Trophy was made by Rafael and IAI, and Israel signed a marketing agreement with General Dynamics.
Quick Kill is a far less developed system, being made by Raytheon.

Also Trophy has been around for a while now.
I like the other defense system better. I forgot what it was called exactly, but it had something to do with a field that make the rockets explode before hitting its target.
Do the math:
Say you have 100 tanks at 5 million dollars each. The anti rocket defense adds 200,000 dollars to each tank's cost.
So that's 20 million dollars(100x$200,000). So for this to worthwhile you'd need to be facing, and therefore saving, the loss of 4 tanks.
If out of every 100 tanks, Israel was losing less than 4 tanks, then this is a waste of money. And that's assuming the system is 100% effective(haha).
I know someone will say "what about the value of the tank crew?"- that doesn't matter. If you save the tank, you automatically save the tank crew, and if you lose the tank you lose the crew. So you only need to count tanks.

The anti-missile system idea was a join development. You gota realize that the military doesn't just take blueprints to a company and says "Here, make this." They contract the company and the company promotes a product to them.
[QUOTE=Gmod_Fan77;21128737]This seems like it'll be extremely expensive. They'll have to continuously resupply the missiles to take out incoming projectiles, plus the defense system might not always work.[/QUOTE]
lol, you're acting like they're under constant attack

Nevermind that the Russians beat everyone to the punch.

Raytheon?
I'm going to be working with those guys sometime this summer.
