This week, Israel successfully launched an Arrow 3 anti-ballistic missile system produced in the United States, claiming multiple 'breakthrough' features. Israel stated that it can be utilized by the Air Force after testing with two Arrow 3 interceptors were performed in central Israel.
The Arrow 3 or Hetz 3 is an exoatmospheric hypersonic anti-ballistic missile that Israel and the United States cooperatively fund, develop, and manufacture. It is being conducted out by Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) and Boeing, and it is being supervised by the Israeli Ministry of Defense's 'Homa' office as well as the U. S. Missile Defense Agency. It allows for the exo-atmospheric interception of ballistic missiles, primarily intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) armed with nuclear, chemical, biological, or conventional warheads. With the capacity to use a divert engine, its kill vehicle can quickly change courses, allowing it to swivel to observe oncoming satellites. The missile has a claimed flying range of up to 2,400 kilometers.
According to the head of the Israeli Space Agency, Arrow 3 might be used as an anti-satellite weapon, making Israel one of the few nations on the planet proficient in taking down satellites.
