I thought Patriot and all those Isreali firework shows were anti-missile defences?
- AlexandrB 5y agoThe Venn diagram of people who have cruise missiles and people who have anti-missile defences is a circle. I think parent was talking about various guerrilla fighters/terrorists who have neither technology but still engage in conflicts with those that do.
- epicureanideal 5y agoCruise missiles are expensive. In theory a million person guerrilla army that stays somewhat spread out can be too expensive to use cruise missiles against effectively. But small, cheap drones…
- baybal2 5y agoYou can't shoot down modern cruise missiles with any kind of reliability. Qassam missiles are straight, dumb ballistic missiles with no guidance.
- ska 5y agoI thought all of that works pretty ok against relatively slow and dumb missiles only though, no?
