Israel ships 2nd of two Iron Dome batteries to US, hopes to sell more
(Worthy News) – Israel shipped the second of two Iron Dome missile defense systems to the US Army over the weekend, with hopes to sell more batteries to the Americans in the future, the Defense Ministry said Sunday.
“I am confident that the system will assist the US Army in protecting American troops from ballistic and airborne threats as well as from developing threats in the areas where US troops are deployed on various missions,” Defense Minister Benny Gantz said in a statement.
In August 2019, the US agreed to purchase two Iron Dome missile defense batteries — each of which includes launchers and missiles made by Rafael Advanced Systems Ltd., a radar array made by the ELTA defense contractor, and a command-and-control center developed by the mPrest firm — to defend American troops from airborne attacks.
