’Israel’ Tests ’Arrow 3’ Interceptor
Local Editor
"Israeli" War Ministry stated that Tel Aviv and the US shot down a target with the Arrow 3 ballistic missile interceptor on Thursday morning.
The Arrow 3 is designed to shoot down intercontinental ballistic missiles outside the atmosphere, intercepting the weapons and their nuclear, biological or chemical missiles close to their launch sites.
The interceptor was launched from the Palmachim air base in central Zionist entity at an incoming missile fired by an air force jet toward the waters off the Palestinian coast.
Similar tests have sometimes caught "Israelis" off guard and caused minor panics among the occupants.
The Arrow 3, which the apartheid entity has been developing with the United States since 2008, is a major part of the multi-layered array that Tel Aviv has designed to deter the defensive short-range rockets fired from the Gaza Strip and Lebanon.
It serves as the uppermost layer of a system that also includes the Iron Dome short-range interceptor, David's Sling medium-range battery and Arrow 2 long-range system.
The missile interceptors are designed to intercept more than five ballistic missiles within 30 seconds at altitudes of over 100 km.
The Arrow 3 will still need to go through additional trials before it is deployed in which there are additional flight tests.
