Defense Prize winner Moti Shefer: Iron
Dome is a bluff
13/07/2014, 12:54 Globes' correspondent
Brigadier General (res.) Daniel Gold: All interceptions are recorded and documented.
In an interview last Thursday with Radio 103, Israel Defense Prize winner and aerospace
engineering expert Dr. Moti Shefer stated simply that Iron Dome was one of the biggest
bluffs ever seen.
He said, "There is no missile in the world today able to intercept missiles or rockets. Iron
Dome is a sound and light show that is intercepting only Israeli public opinion, and itself,
of course. Actually, all the explosions you see in the sky are self explosions. No Iron Dome
missile has ever collided with a single rocket. Open spaces are a myth invented in order to
up Iron Dome's current interception percentages. The rockets announced as intercepted by
Iron Dome either never reach the ground, or are virtual rockets invented and destroyed on
the Iron Dom control computer. To this day, no one has ever seen an intercepted rocket fall
to the ground."
He continued, "What lands here is what's launched. The parts we see on the ground are
from Iron Dome itself. We're shooting at ourselves, mainly virtually. The virtual rocket was
invented in order to increase the vagueness surrounding Iron Dome. Assume that a real
rocket arrives. What does the command and control system do? It creates nine more

virtual rockets, and transmits their paths on computer graphics to the rocket launcher
operators. The launcher operators see 10 rockets and launch 10 Iron Dome interceptors.
People hear 10 booms, one rocket enters, and you get a 90% success rate."
According to Dr. Shefer, Iron Dome is a part of a broad conspiracy, in which two interested
parties afraid of peace are participating: the defense industries and Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu.
Brigadier General (res.) Daniel Gold, who initiated Iron Dome, responded scornfully: "I
won't make personal remarks here. Let him believe what he wants to believe. Anyone can
see what the truth is here. All the interceptions to date are recorded and documented.
We're the startup nation because of things like this, and this is much bigger than a startup.
They put 300-400 of the most talented people here, who worked like crazy, with
determination. It works."
Dr. Shefer's ideas for developing interception systems were universally rejected before Iron
Dome was developed.
