The second question is: once it was in Israeli airspace, why wasn't it stopped by its anti-missile intercept, the Iron Dome? "The answer to that may be, as a preliminary look, that it actually disintegrated in mid-air by itself," said Makler.

Putin orders Russian army to become second largest after China's at 1.5 million-strong
(Reuters) -President Vladimir Putin on Monday ordered the regular size of the Russian army to be increased by 180,000 troops to 1.5 million active servicemen in a move that would make it the second largest in the world after China's. In a decree published on the Kremlin's website, Putin ordered the overall size of the armed forces to be increased to 2.38 million people, of which he said 1.5 million should be active servicemen. According to data from the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS), a leading military think tank, such an increase would see Russia leapfrog the United States and India in terms of the number of active combat soldiers it has at its disposal and be second only to China in size.
