Several people have mentioned procuring the Iron Dome, but the system has limitations, especially against a real military. A single BM-21 Grad can launch 40 rockets in 20 seconds, a battery/battalion can launch 240 or 720 rockets in 20 seconds. No missile defenses can stop that.
Not to mention, missiles like the Iskander-M are designed to evade missile defenses by maneuvering in flight. You typically need to launch multiple interceptors for every rocket you want to counter. Even with unsophisticated munitions, it is a numbers game that favors the offense
The Iron Dome makes sense for Israel, a very small country whose indirect fires threat is mostly from slow-moving and cheap rockets, but less sense for larger countries facing better-equipped adversaries.

New video of Kalashnikov's ZALA Aero Group's Lancet loitering munition employed in Idlib against HTS (apparently by Russian SOF). Some of the footage was previously published for SSO day in February. (h/t @AndeySkovorodka)
The first part of this clip emerged last year, but I think this is the first confirmation that it was a Lancet (there was talk that it was Iranian). The second impact in this video appears to be a miss on a vehicle. 2/

Just discovered that the Russian MoD’s Zvezda network has its own TikTok channel.

Unclear if Jay-Z and Beyonce approved of that Iskander and Smerch volley fire from Astrakhan, or if they believed Russia that the Iskander-M only had a max range of 500km.
If you’re wondering which Russian weapons are near the border of Ukraine that are causing concern, they include the BM-27 Uragan MLRS and 2S4 Tyulpan 240mm heavy mortar seen here.
