The United States explained Israel's unwillingness to supply the Iron Dome missile defense system to Ukraine. Russian missiles can reveal the shortcomings of the Israeli system, writes The National Interest.

It is noted that the supply of the "Iron Dome" could be refused due to difficulties with logistics. This decision could also be influenced by the Russian presence in Syria.

"These explanations deserve attention. But perhaps there is another reason why Israeli leaders are not too eager to deploy the Iron Dome in Ukraine: their concern that the Iron Dome technology is not as reliable as advertised," the newspaper writes.

The criterion for the effectiveness of the missile defense system is the number of civilians affected by missile strikes and the interception coefficient. The publication says that these indicators were the same during Operation Cast Lead and during Operation Cloud Pillar, which began after the deployment of the Iron Dome missile defense system.

The National Interest writes that the effectiveness of the system determines the lack of demand for the "Iron Dome".

The publication also notes that the use of the "Iron Dome" in Ukraine can reveal the shortcomings of the system. "Israeli military planners are fully aware that Russia's diverse fleet of modern missiles can reveal serious shortcomings of weapons that in recent years have become a symbol of national pride and military valor," the article says.

In April, it became known that tests of the Iron Beam laser missile defense system had been completed in Israel. During them, the system hit mines, missiles and drones. Iron Beam will become the fifth element in Israel's layered missile defense system.
