The Iron Dome helped some, but didn’t stop all of Iran’s missiles.

The interceptors are crazy expensive too, magnitudes more than the cheap drones and missiles they are intercepting, without perfect accuracy as you say.

The UAE can afford it, but last I heard they are running out of interceptors. They still have those anti aircraft guns to shoot them down though.
