Missile firing unit is then activated, fires an interceptor missile called as "Tamir" and destroys its target. COST & LIMITATIONS No missile defence system is perfectly reliable, Iron Dome System has also a saturation point. Officials said that the success rate of the Iron Dome System is reported to be 90%. Short-range rockets are also a threat because Iron Dome is less effective at ranges of 2.5 miles or less. System value is around $50 Milion Each interceptor costs around $80,000
