Myth of the #GoldenDome
North America is ~1,100 times (!) bigger than Israel. See how well the #IRONdome* is working by hitting the hashTag! (OR - how to waste BILLION$ on #war machines)

US is using a new air defense system?

This does not look like patriot missile.

It seems to have 4 defensive units released shortly after each other.

Anyone knows what it is?
