    The thing about these missile defence systems is that, regardless of how advanced a system is, it can always be overcome by sheer volume of fire.

    A common tactic is to saturate the sky with cheaper dummy missiles/drones that don’t even have warheads, just to deplete missile defence stockpiles and protect the real missiles/drones from being intercepted.

    This is happening a lot in Ukraine too.

    TLDR; You’re right to believe Iron Dome isn’t invincible because there’s no such thing as an invincible missile defence system.
