India -Pakistan tensions: The situation between both the India and Pakistan continues to remain tense. On 7 May, India destroyed nine terrorist bases of Pakistan by launching Operation Sindoor showcasing the strength of India’s air defense system. India has many missiles, but at this time India has deployed the S-400 air defense system which is being compared to many missiles of the world. But many countries have air defenses more powerful than this. For example, Israel has Iron Dome, which attacks the enemy directly from the ground. Let us know how India’s S-300 stands against the Israeli Iron Dome.
What is Israel’s Iron Dome
Just like the S-400 air defense system works in India, Israel has an air defense system called Iron Dome. It makes Israel’s security impenetrable and works as an air defense shield there. Its full name is Iron Dome Anti Missile Defense System. Israel started making this system in 2006 after the Lebanese terrorist group Hezbollah carried out rocket attacks in Israel and many Israeli citizens were killed in it. Israel has been using it since 2011 and claims that it is the world’s most modern air defense system.
What is its specialty
Iron Dome is a direct air attack system from the ground, which destroys rockets and mortars in the air itself. This defense system is operated by batteries, which protects against attacks and rockets launched from the enemy country within about 65 kilometers. Its specialty is that it runs on batteries, so it is easy to carry it anywhere. Iron Dome is equipped with 20 interceptor missiles. It can work in any weather, day or night. It has been claimed in many reports that Iron Dome has killed 99 percent of its targets.
How does the S-400 work?
S-400 is India’s most dangerous and powerful air defense system. It is capable of protecting against any air attack. India had bought it from Russia. Its defense system is so strong that it has the ability to shoot down even advanced fighter jets. It can fire 72 missiles at a time. It is considered the best air defense system in the world. Four different types of missiles are fired through it, which can hit targets up to 400 kilometers. Two radar systems work in it which detect air targets up to 600 kilometers and hit 80 targets at a time. This system is so powerful that once activated, it becomes ready for firing within three minutes after receiving the signal.
