US And Israel Announce Work On New Arrow 4 Air Defense System Amid Iran Tensions by ttbaba(m): 12:14pm On Feb 19, 2021
Israel and the US have begun developing the
Arrow 4, the latest generation in the family of
Israeli anti-ballistic missiles and an essential part
of the country’s multi-layered defense system,
Israel’s Defense Ministry announced Thursday.
“The defense establishment is working round the
clock to shield Israel’s skies from ballistic
threats,” Defense Minister Benny Gantz said,
praising the joint development with US partners.
“It will bring a technological and operational
leap to the future battlefield,” he added.
According to Gantz, the Arrow 4 anti-ballistic
missile will include upgraded capabilities and
will join the existing Arrow family to “address a
wide range of evolving threats in the region”
adding that it is expected to replace the Arrow 2
in the coming decades.
Vice Admiral Jon Hill, director of the US Missile
Defense Agency, said the Arrow 4 joint
development operation “expresses the United
States’ commitment to assist the State of Israel in
strengthening its national defense system against
the missile threat.”
Israel says the Arrow system is a critical element
in its multi-layered defense system, which
includes powerful radar systems, the Iron Dome
anti-rocket system, the Arrow 2 and the Arrow 3,
which entered operational use in 2017. The
existing systems have undergone a series of
improvements with successful interception tests
in Israel and Alaska, according to the Defense
Ministry.
“Arrow 4 will have extraordinary flight and
interception capabilities, to ensure Israel will
remain one step ahead of the enemy,” said
Moshe Patel, head of the Israeli Missile Defense
Organization.
Earlier in February, the Israel Defense Forces and
the United States European Command launched a
joint air defense exercise , dubbed Juniper Falcon,
focused on the threat of ballistic missile attack.
In January, Iran held a series of ballistic missile
drills , amid tensions with the US.
Iran has a missile capability of up to 2,000
kilometers (1,250 miles), far enough to reach
Israel and US military bases in the region. Last
January, after the US killed a top Iranian general
in Baghdad, Tehran retaliated by firing a barrage
of ballistic missiles at two Iraqi bases housing US
troops, resulting in brain concussion injuries to
dozens of them.
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani accused Israel
of being behind the November killing of the
country’s top nuclear scientist, Mohsen
Fakhrizadeh, the alleged mastermind of Iran’s
rogue nuclear weapons program, and has vowed
to avenge his death.Israel and the US have begun developing the

The proponents of weapons will say they are meant to save lives but in the process of doing this, they actually kill many more lives.


Only God can save.
