My angle was whether countries such as South Korea, Japan and other western leaning states in range and therefore feeling sufficiently threatened by the implicit threat of Kim Jong-un & procure an anti ICBM shield for their own defence. I was looking at a non Russian source of supply and was unsure of Iron Dome's capability in this application though it looks impressive against rockets ansscuds when defending a relatively small geographical area (Israel) rather than providing regional defence for more than one country.
