The Complexity of Ballistic Missile Defense

The Aero system represents a more advanced layer of missile defense in Israel, particularly against ballistic missiles from Iran. However, its effectiveness remains uncertain due to the involvement of U.S. support, which complicates assessments of how well the system operates independently. Recent missile threats have been countered not solely by Israeli efforts but also through American collaboration, which could skew performance evaluations. The technology may be sophisticated, but much of the targeting and operational tactics have not significantly evolved in decades, raising questions about readiness against modern threats.
