Israel (IAF) begins deployment of Arrow-3 anti missile defense
[DefeseNews] "Today Jan 18 2017 we're entering a new era; the Arrow-3 era," said Moshe Patel, head of the Israel Missile Defense Organization (IMDO). "We're very proud to deliver to the Israel Air Force the first initial capability of Arrow-3 … [a program] we've worked on for the last ten years, together with MDA and with a lot of help from the US Congress and the US administration." Designed to fly nearly twice as high up to 60 miles at half the weight of Arrow-2 ‐ which covers the lower-tier segment of AWS ‐ Arrow-3 is Israel's first line of defense against advanced, maneuvering Iranian Shihab-class ballistic missiles.
