(Worthy News) – An upgraded version of the Iron Dome air defense system on Monday completed a fresh set of trials simulating threats the system is likely to face on land and at sea, the Defense Ministry said.
The more-advanced model of the Iron Dome is due to be installed on the Israeli Navy’s new Sa’ar-6 corvettes, which are tasked with guarding the natural gas platforms off Israel’s coast as well as its shipping lanes.
The Defense Ministry said the tests, which the Iron Dome passed, represented “an important milestone in developing the system.” [ Source: Times of Israel (Read More…) ]
