meazza Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 i stand corrected. hardly where you'd expect to find it or even be likely to find it: under a headline stating "netanshitehead rips hamas". sure, there's no pro israeli us media bias. So you don't read articles but only the headlines?
birdog1960 Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 (edited) Who cares if there is? Your fixation on media bias suggests the population is too stupid to objectively choose a side in this conflict. um, what does the fact that for many months after the us attacked iraq, a significant majority of american believed that iraq was involved in the wtc bombings tell you? yes, itthink much of the population is highly susceptible to propaganda. So you don't read articles but only the headlines? i googled it. it didn't come up. probably because it was buried beyond googles discovery threshold. Edited July 16, 2014 by birdog1960
Tiberius Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 Iron dome intercepted less than half the rockets...Hmmm
FireChan Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 Iron dome intercepted less than half the rockets...Hmmm False Flag!!!!' Those evil Israelis are letting their own people get attacked by those peaceful Palestinian rockets of peace, friendship and diplomacy!!!!!!!!

Then it's important you inform everyone what is really going on. Just don't forget to chronicle the Palestinian vow to destroy Israel and their refusal to accept the cease fire. If bias is an issue, be sure to leave yours out.
Tiberius Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 False Flag!!!!' Those evil Israelis are letting their own people get attacked by those peaceful Palestinian rockets of peace, friendship and diplomacy!!!!!!!! I was thinking the opposite. Probably inflating the kill ratio. Still, an interesting development in the conflict. I'm sure Iran is thinking up ways to defeat this already unreliable defense system Then it's important you inform everyone what is really going on. Just don't forget to chronicle the Palestinian vow to destroy Israel and their refusal to accept the cease fire. If bias is an issue, be sure to leave yours out. What were the terms of the cease fire?
Jauronimo Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 I was thinking the opposite. Probably inflating the kill ratio. Still, an interesting development in the conflict. I'm sure Iran is thinking up ways to defeat this already unreliable defense system What were the terms of the cease fire? Iran isn't a threat to anyone, from what I've heard.

I'm sure Iran is thinking up ways to defeat this already unreliable defense system This almost sounds like you're hoping Iran directly strikes Israel. Do you have any idea what the fallout from that would be?

Tiberius Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 This almost sounds like you're hoping Iran directly strikes Israel. Do you have any idea what the fallout from that would be? It almost what?? Iran is supplying the Pals, that's just a fact. That's all I was saying The Israelis are inflating the kill ratios of the Israelis? Of the rockets being intercepted (killed)
Deranged Rhino Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 It almost what?? Iran is supplying the Pals, that's just a fact. That's all I was saying Of the rockets being intercepted (killed) Gotcha. I wasn't sure.

I'm sure Iran is thinking up ways to defeat this already unreliable defense system Part of Iron Dome's effectiveness is discrimination - the system evaluates incoming rockets, and only targets those it judges will hit a populated area (as opposed to, say, an empty field). It intercepts less than half the targets because it discards about half of them as not worth interception. If you judge by the actual operational criteria, it's a ridiculously effective system.

Stupid question as I know little about it, but is the Iron Dome tech just advanced patriot missile type system? Missiles shooting down missiles I mean?

Does the system work on its own like a Googlebot and think for itself to objectively determine areas worthy of defense or do humans program it and make subjective interpretations? In other words, if they implemented this thing in Canada would a properly working system be expected just just let everything go right through?
Justice Posted July 16, 2014 Author Posted July 16, 2014 Get this, apparently terrorists the size of 11 year olds like to take the day off and go to the beach to play soccer during a "war". "Just tell em anything, those idiots will believe it"-says anybody representing the military. "Oh yeah, tell em we're gonna investigate it" lol
DC Tom Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 Stupid question as I know little about it, but is the Iron Dome tech just advanced patriot missile type system? Missiles shooting down missiles I mean? Sort of. The ballistic problem is the largely the same - hitting a dumb munition on a ballistic target - but the scale's very different. Your average Palestinian rocket is maybe eight feet long and moves at about 2000 feet per second over 10-20 miles. Your average Scud is about four times larger and twice as fast over ten times the range, and at stratospheric heights, as well. The problem doesn't necessarily scale down that well - less detection, tracking, and engagement time, and a physically smaller target that's harder to detect and intercept.

Sure Tom, whatever
Tiberius Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 The angry teenager approach? No it's the, "Tom talks out his ass approach" Why do you get upset when Tom gets challenged? Is he your Internet hero or something? Suck-a-long?
meazza Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 No it's the, "Tom talks out his ass approach" Why do you get upset when Tom gets challenged? Is he your Internet hero or something? Suck-a-long? I've been following the Iron Dome implementation and Toms analysis seems spot on so what exactly do you disagree with you?
