US and Israel Launch Preemptive Attacks on Iran

Iranian drones attacked the US Embassy's logistics support headquarters in Baghdad and the upper floors of the Royal Tulip Al Rasheed Hotel. New footage has also emerged of another US air defense system, the C-RAM, targeting Iranian kamikaze drones in Baghdad. Judging by the video, not all drones were shot down.

What is the magazine capacity of C-RAM and at 3000 rounds per minute how long does it take to empty the magazine?

Don’t get me wrong, it’s a good point defense system, but it has limits.
