| 2012-02-12 |
| [Iran Press TV] Israel says it has "successfully" tested an upgraded anti-ballistic missile system in conjunction with the United States over the Mediterranean Sea. Israel declared a Friday test of its Arrow weapon system a "major milestone" in the development of a system to defend against medium range missiles that could be fired from countries like Iran. The Arrow missile defense system tracked a projectile called "Blue Sparrow" that was fired by an Israeli war plane, the Defense Ministry said in a statement on Friday. "The test was conducted on Friday in conjunction with the US Missile Defense Agency," said Yair Ramati, an Israeli military official. The ministry's statement added that the test demonstrated that the Arrow Weapon System and the US Ballistic Missile Defense System could work together. The Arrow missile system, the development of which is jointly funded by the US and Israel, was launched in 1988. |
