After Iran attacked Israel, the UK needed its own Iron Dome

Britain lacks land-based systems to defend London or its nuclear plants. There is rising concern that although the UK has a strong air defence strategy, the country lacks land based systems. Iran's attacks on Israel have raised concerns that the UK needs its own Iron Dome. The UK needs to have its own air defence system to protect London and its nuclear facilities.

Senior defence figures say the country lacks land-based systems to defend London and nuclear power stations. UK 'needs an Iron Dome' after wake-up call of Iranian attack on Israel, says senior defence figures. Senior defence officials say the UK needs a 'land-based' system to defend the capital and nuclear facilities.

In operation since 2011, the Iron Dome is Israel's first line of defence against rockets. We spoke to an expert to understand how the system works. The Iron Dome has been operating since 2011 and is Israel’s first missile defence system to protect Israel from attacks.

Iron Dome was used to shoot down incoming barrage of missiles and rockets fired from Iran. The system has been working in full-force to handle attacks throughout the war against Hamas. Iron Dome has been used in full force to defend Israel against Hamas attacks in the past two years.

The Iron Dome began operating in 2011, largely in response to the 2006 Gaza war. It was developed by Israel's state-owned Rafael Advanced Defence Systems with US support. Israel's air defence system is one of the world's most effective in the world. It is designed to protect Israel from any threat posed by Hamas in Gaza.

Israel claims it intercepted 99% of missiles and drones launched by Iran overnight. Israel says it intercepted most of the missiles launched by the Iranian regime. Israel also claims 99% intercepted Iranian missiles, drones launched overnight. What are Israel's air defences? And why are they so effective?

The short-range air defence system began operating in 2011. It uses radars to detect and intercept rockets, missiles, and drones. Iron Dome is Israel's first air defence defence system to be operational in the country. It is designed to intercept missiles, rockets, rockets and drones, and intercept missiles.

Israel's 'Iron Dome' missile defence system has 90% success rate, say officials. US has to foot the huge cost of the system, says Israel. Israel's Iron Dome system is 'envious' of other militaries' success rate of success, officials say.
