wouldn't flooding the skies with low tech rockets work... now?
The interceptors are crazy expensive compared to hatchet job rockets and vastly outnumbered by them too, they couldn't and can't stop them if they tried, why not launch hundreds of smaller rockets along with these bigger payloads?
It's not as effective. Irans rockets are much faster so they need less of them to break thru, and Irans are actually accurate and can hit launchers unlike the low tech ones. The low tech ones are so slow that the Iron Dome can shoot down tons of them and you have to launch way more to get thru. Iran can launch like under 10 missiles at a launcher and 2 or 3 will get thru. Because theirs are just so fast theres not as much time to intercept them.
I think the rockets have a minimum size due to the range, so the calculation is different compared to Hamas rockets. That said, those interceptors run out very quickly, and surely ballistic missiles are harder to shoot down with the standard iron dome interceptors (which seems to have been designed for targeting relatively small slow locally fired rockets).
thats what hamas does, first they use a swarm of cheap missiles and then use a good one to blow up the iron dome while its aiming at the cheap ones
