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.
