What are those projectiles powered with…. They seem really slow . Do they just go straight up and fall down randomly?

I know that destroying the missiles / rockets in flight is better than having them impact, but I’ve always wondered what it’s like after — when all the debris is falling from the sky. I still remember older footage that showed a giant piece falling down. Are there special considerations they implement to prevent casualties from that?

Is there a difference in explosions between when a missile is intercepted or when the SAMs self-detonate? I mean, are we just looking at the fired Iron Dome missiles blowing themselves up?

This makes appreciate the technology so much – and also to never trust the doomsayers – they talked about hitting a bullet with a bullet being impossible and look at us now!

Reminds me of the futuristic scene from Stargate Atlantis with the drones.

I wonder just how many of those highrise rooftops over there are just coated in metal debris.

I assume that every launch site is blown up by the IDF shortly afterwards?
