Jordan and UK protection can do sweet FA against Balistic missiles. Drones and Cruise Missiles yes, Balistic missiles no.
As to Iranian missiles getting close I'm afraid that's no cigar. If you can hit a bullet with a bullet (Arrow3 + David's Sling interceptions) then I'm absolutely sure you can work out exactly where a balistic missile will strike to within 20 cms.
No baliatic missile can make course corrections direction in flight yet. Maybe the latest Chinese one can and the US ones going into production at the moment certainly can but that's your lot
To be honest the majority of that is pure fantasy, could Britain control the weather did the population not more than double twice as many mouths to feed despite failed harvests.Which bit of fantasy did you find?
Jordan and the UK intercepted nothing as drones and cruise missiles weren't used by Iran this time.So, let me get this straight; only drones were used and the iron dome takes down drones. The 3 other actors take down drones and cruise too and the 32 remaining were drone and cruise.
What you're saying, as Iran used less than 10% of its weaponry, is that the iron dome isn't all singing and all dancing after all.
Especially if it needs help from other allies...
Not forgetting that Iran’s missiles are a bit shit…I don't know if anybody has posted this but this is a map of targets, seemingly hit by Iran's missile response.
Of the 180 missiles fired, 32 hit targets. So that's not the iron dome's defence alone, but with help from Jordan US and UK protection, too.

Iron dome can take out balistics if launched close to the target (only 15km range for balistics) The iron beam can as well (10km tange) - but Isreal hasn't got enough of these yet.
Arrow3 intercepts in space (the most effectve interception of steep parabola trajectory missiles).
David's Sling is for long range atmospheric interception of balistic and cruise missiles. It's not particularly effective for missiles fired with a steep parabola trajectory.

I don't think any of us including mr anorak will ever know the truth. The first reports were that nothing got through and gradually more official and unofficial footage of destruction caused by Iranian missiles is leaking out. There are good tactical reasons for Israel to claim the Iranian weapons were ineffective but clearly they are a threat which cannot be fully contained. It seems a lot of these missile defences strategies can be simply overwhelmed by an amount of missiles - part of the reason the US and Russia maintain nuclear arsenal's capable of destroying the world many times over. Any country claiming to have an impenetrable shield is doing so to manage fear and panic within its own population, demoralise the enemy etc. basically bollocks.So, let me get this straight; only drones were used and the iron dome takes down drones. The 3 other actors take down drones and cruise too and the 32 remaining were drone and cruise.
