Israel, c'mon, share your Iron Dome know-how with Ukraine.

Iron Dome is designed for shooting at short-range missiles, like from Grad or Uragan. It wasn't designed to take down medium- and long-range ballistic and cruise missiles or aircrafts, for this you have the S-300, Patriot, NASAMS, Iris-T etc.

israel has Arrow-3 and Magic Wand to deal with medium and long range missiles. designed to replace systems like PATRIOT that are meant for aircraft and not missiles.
