    90% accurate at intercepting rockets in urban areas. However the warhead sometimes isn't destroyed and fragments from an intercepted rocket can fall and explode. Also the iron dome is expensive so if a rocket was misfired and will land in an uninhabited area they don't bother intercepting it. So the success rate of the iron dome can only be measured by interceptions of rockets that would have landed in urban areas. Each iron dome battery contains 20 interceptor missiles and can protect an urban area of approx 150 sq km. Various interceptor missiles can be used but all are developed by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems and Israel Aircraft Industries. All missiles detonate by proximity fuse and the system is designed for all weather conditions.
