Israel's air defense system has been ridiculed and harshly criticized.

On November 17, 2018, attack helicopters were urgently lifted into the air from one of the military bases of the Israeli Air Force. The reason for everything was the appearance in the air of mysterious objects that were not identified by the means of air defense and missile defense of the country, however "were threatening". As it turned out, we are talking about five paragliders that were controlled by the inhabitants of Israel, which became a reason for ridicule from the states of the Middle East, and demonstrated the extremely low effectiveness of the Israeli air defense and missile defense of the country.

Later, the Israeli Ministry of Defense announced that in reality, five paragliders did not pose a danger, however, due to an uncoordinated flight, the incident could have ended much more tragically, since anti-aircraft and anti-missile defense means could be used to destroy unknown aircraft, which again was ridiculed on social media.

“…We can intercept paragliders, but we cannot intercept Hamas rockets. And this is the best army?

“Next time when rockets fly towards Israel, will the Air Force helicopters also take to the sky???”

“... The Iron Dome complex (“Iron Dome” - ed.), which Netanyahu boasted about so much, cannot even distinguish whether it is a threat or ordinary paragliders”

It should be clarified that last week the Israeli air and missile defense system showed a terrible result, intercepting only about a hundred rockets fired from the territory of the Gaza Strip.
