Israel and US test new defense systems
Israel and the United States successfully conducted a test of a new generation of the "Arrow" missile defense system, aimed at strengthening the ability to counter long-range ballistic missiles amid tensions with Iran. The "Arrow" system serves as Israel's primary shield against ballistic missiles and operates within a multi-layered defense network that also includes the "David's Sling" and "Iron Dome" systems. It is worth noting that Washington contributed to funding its modernization, and the U.S. stockpile of Patriot and THAAD missiles has significantly diminished due to ongoing use, with replenishment expected to return them to pre-war levels by mid-2029—posing a vulnerability in American defenses. The test seeks to enhance the capabilities of the "Arrow" system and bolster protection in the face of escalating threats from Iran and its supported groups.
