Israel, U.S. plan (new) anti-missile test to answer Iran's challenge
TEL AVIV — Israel and the United States plan to test the Arrow-2 missile defense system against a target meant to simulate an advanced Scud D ballistic missile...On July 29, the Arrow-2 intercepted and destroyed the Scud B missile, with a range of 250 kilometers. Unlike the Scud B, the Scud D was deemed as about twice as fast and the warhead separates from the rest of the missile in the first stage of launch. The Scud B does not contain a separation process.A 2-3 week turnaround between ballistic missile tests. Oh boy. Posted by: Anonymoose 2004-08-14 |
