Isreal’s 3-Level Air Defence System
Israel uses three integrated air defense systems to confront incoming rockets and missiles.
1. IRON DOME (SHORT RANGE)
It was implemented in 2011, and this technology has destroyed tons of missiles targeting enemy territory. Its range is from 4 to 70 Km. The system uses radar to detect incoming rockets. Meanwhile, it is also very smart to disregard attacks that don’t pose a threat to life and property.
2. DAVID’S SLING (MEDIUM RANGE)
In 2017, the Israeli firm Rafael (Not Rafale of France) developed this technology to destroy missiles from the 40 to 300 Km range. Its purpose is to intercept short-range ballistic missiles, large-caliber rockets, and cruise missiles.
3. ARROW SYSTEM (LONG RANGE)
It can intercept medium-range ballistic missiles up to 2400 km. Missiles (Arrow 2 for lower altitude, and Arrow 3 for higher altitude). It uses faster ‘hypersonic’ missiles to hit targets. It was implemented in 2017, and it demonstrated its efficiency last Nov when it intercepted missiles fired by Houthis.
How Israel’s Iron Dome defense system works
Iranian armed forces chief Mohammad Bagheri told state TV that “Operation Honest Promise” was completed successfully. Will Israel strike back at Iran? And if so, how can it impact us? Let’s see how the Isreal-Iran conflict goes on.
Dr. S Jaishanker, Foreign Minister of India, talked with both countries and requested peace.
