With eye on Iran, Israel tests missile defense system
|
[THEBAGHDADPOST] Israel’s Defense Ministry said Tuesday it conducted a series of successful live fire drills with its multi-range missile-defense system, providing protection against threats posed by arch-enemy Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
and its proxies along Israel’s northern and southern borders.
Defense officials said it was the first time they have conducted an integrated test bringing together the various components of the country’s "multilayer" missile defense. They are the "Arrow," which intercepts long-range missiles; "David’s Sling," meant to shoot down medium-range missiles; and the "Iron Dome," which has been used for years to defend against incoming rocket fire from the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response ...
Strip.
Moshe Patel, head of Israel’s Middle Defense Organization, said the drill "demonstrated a multi-layered approach to dealing with threats" that incorporates all three systems.
"Using this approach, a variety of threats may be identified and intercepted via full coordination and interoperability between the systems," he said.
Israel faces a wide range of rocket and missile threats from Paleostinian bandidos bully boyz in Gaza, from the Iranian-backed Shiite hard boy group Hezbollah in neighboring Leb
 ...an Iranian colony situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozeen flavors of Christians. It is the home of Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
, and from Iran. Officials have expressed concerns about Iran’s development of long-range weapons and what they say are Hezbollah attempts to import or develop guided missiles capable of striking virtually anywhere in Israel with great precision.
Brig. Gen. Ran Kochav, head of the Israeli Air Force’s air defense program, said the drill had simulated a series of threats and involved complex human and computerized decision making. He said it was a major accomplishment to intercept a cruise missile, which he said are tricky targets because of their speed, altitude and maneuverability.
"What was special with this test is that it was a live drill dealing with a concrete scenario. You can understand the geopolitical situation in the Middle East has changed," he said. "It advances us operationally and technologically, and allows us to absorb these advanced systems into the air force, carry out evaluation and training and knowledge so that we can get better."
Israel has developed the various missile defenses in conjunction with the United States. Tuesday’s drill was conducted with the US Missile Defense Agency, officials said.
The test was conducted over the Mediterranean Sea and tested the systems’ capability to intercept a range of aerial targets from drones to larger and longer range ballistic missiles.
Pini Yungman, head of the air and missile defense division at state-owned Israeli defense contractor Rafael, said the results were "magnificent" and "all the targets were destroyed in all the tests, and no threat, no target remained in the air after the interception."
Patel said it was too early to begin selling these weapons systems to Israel’s new allies in the Middle East — the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain. "This is something that can be considered potentially in the future."
