Israel’s US-backed Arrow-3 air defense system,
billed as a bulwark against the ballistic missiles fielded by Iran and Syria,
has passed a live interception test in Alaska, the Israeli Defence Ministry
said on Sunday.
Jointly manufactured by Boeing Co, Arrow-3 is billed
as capable of destroying missiles in space, an altitude that would destroy any
non-conventional warheads safely. It passed the first full interception test
over the Mediterranean Sea in 2015 and was deployed in Israel in 2017.
