Mike Baker: 作为主持人，我主要介绍了以色列的导弹防御系统，包括铁穹（Iron Dome）、大卫投石索（David Sling）和箭式（Arrow）系统，这些系统在应对伊朗日益增长的导弹威胁时正面临拦截器短缺的挑战。我强调了美国对以色列防御的支持，以及伊朗导弹袭击频率的增加导致以色列防御系统不堪重负。此外，伊朗正在转向使用更先进的武器，如高超音速导弹，这进一步加剧了以色列防御的难度。我警告说，如果以色列及其盟友不迅速采取行动，他们将无法继续拦截导弹。

Deep Dive

Chapters
As the conflict between Israel and Iran continues, Israel's missile defense systems, including the Iron Dome, face pressure due to dwindling interceptor supplies and increasingly sophisticated Iranian missiles. While Israel has had success targeting Iranian missile stockpiles and launchers, concerns remain about the sustainability of its defense systems in the face of evolving threats.
  • Israel's Iron Dome interception rate has dropped from 90% to 65%.
  • Iran is using more advanced missiles, like hypersonic missiles, which are harder to intercept.
  • Israel is running low on interceptors for its defense systems.
  • The U.S. is augmenting Israel's defenses but also faces interceptor shortages.
