> Israel also now has a laser-based missile interceptors which they haven't fully deployed and which seem useless under anything but ideal operating conditions.

The Iranians could develop a type of missile that counts on getting intercepted in the air, and then splits into multiple bombs that just fall down and explode. The challenge would be for the bombs to survive the initial impact. Optionally the bombs could be dropped before the impact - meaning the missile itself just carries the bombs and deploys them before it gets destroyed. Maybe it could be remote controlled or be based on altitude.

That's kinda how conventional MIRVs missiles work, except they break up before getting hit and their payload is smaller missiles that speed towards their targets rather than just falling.

I see. I just thought economically - so would you rather have 100 missiles with cluster bombs that just fall down and explode, or 50 which release missiles that speed towards their targets?

The formers' payload could be different as well. A high impact speed would inevitably lead to powerful kinetic explosions. But what if you'd want to give them a little napalm? To give them the Dresden treatment back.

Given the choice, I'd use hollow clusters with thermal non-explosive payloads that fall by gravity, causing each slow-moving $100 cluster item to waste a $100,000 USD Tamir Iron Dome interceptor round until they run dry.

I'd allow Tehran school children to paint the cluster spheres yellow and draw happy faces on them all.

Wasting half a billion USD and every last Tamir for the price of a Ford F-150 pickup truck always puts a smile on my face.

Then I get creative with hypersonics.
