Iron Dome uses principles that are similar to a true anti-ballistic missile system to intercept slower-moving short-range rockets and artillery projectiles, employing the Tamir missile at ranges of up to 70km and altitudes to 10km, at a cost of about $50,000 per missile. Iron Dome also has an anti-aircraft capability.
The CM-501G missile has been said by many Chinese internet sources as the Chinese equivalent of the American NLOS-LS Netfires missile or the Israeli JUMPER missile, but the Chinese missile is much larger than the two western counterparts: in comparison to the 50 to 60 kg weight of western missiles, CM-501G weighs around 150 kg, almost three times the weight of Netfires or JUMPER missiles.

For instance, a single new ICBM might require a single new ABM to counter it, and if they both cost the same, the cost-exchange ratio would be 1:1. Throughout the Cold War, the cost-exchange ratio was almost always strongly in favor of the offense. Some of this has to do with the fact that an ICBM can be aimed at any target, which the defender ...
The same computer then calculates the control inputs needed to fly the missile to that point and sends any required corrections to the missile via a radio signal, often using the radar tracking the missile as the radio signal. As this system is simple to build, it was used as the basis for many early surface-to-air missile (SAM) systems ...
The U.S. Air Force's LGM-35 Sentinel, the program in development that has promised a new intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) to support nuclear deterrence, has already exceeded cost ...
The Lockheed Martin Mk 70 Mod 1 is a containerized system containing four strike-length cells from the Mark 41 Vertical Launching System mounted in the footprint of a 40-foot (12 m) ISO container. [4] In addition to the Typhon system, the Mk 70 Mod 1 has been tested aboard ship on USS Savannah (LCS-28). [13]
