Israel Releases Arrow 3
Israel Releases Arrow 3 Photos – Defense/Security – News – Israel National News.
The Ministry of Defense on Tuesday released photographs of recent tests of Israel’s “Arrow 3” anti-ballistic missile system.
During the tests, a model of the interceptor missile was launched in order to check the propulsion system, as well as other tracking sensors.
The Arrow 3 system is an upgrade of the Arrow 2 defense system that has been in development with the United States since the 1980s, designed to intercept long-range missiles. The improved Arrow 3 system is cheaper than its Arrow 2 counterpart.
Israel’s concept of a multi-layered missile defense system includes the interception of missiles fired from a long-range, as well as those fired from close or medium-range. If the long-range interceptors are unsuccessful, the lower layers of the defense system will be able to intercept as well.
The Arrow 3 system is said to have similar capabilities as those interception systems present on U.S. Aegis destroyers, being able to intercept missiles at great altitudes and distances.
The timing of the release of the photographs has been taken by analysts to be a message for Iran as international pressure mounts on the Islamic Republic to abandon its drive for nuclear weapons, which Israel says is aimed at the Jewish state’s destruction. Iran has called Israel a “one bomb state.”
“Tehran doesn’t have a nuclear program – it has a program for the destruction of Israel,” Minister of Public Diplomacy Yuli Edelstein told the World Jewish Congress on Tuesday.
“The Iranian regime openly calls for Israel’s destruction, is planning the destruction of Israel, and is working daily to destroy Israel. The lesson says should spur the world to action,” Netanyahu said during a speech for International Holocaust Remembrance day in the plenum on Tuesday.
IDF Chief of Staff Benny Gantz, speaking at a memorial service for the crew of the Dakar Submarine, lost at sea on its way from England to Israel on 9 January 1986, was confident Israel could face down all of its foes.
“I suggest that no one tests our determination,” Gantz said.
Development of the Arrow 3 system, intended to intercept long-range missiles launched at Israel, including those equipped with non-conventional warheads, will continue until the system is declared operational 2014.

Admiral O’Dell Birdwell Here, President Bush Sr. and President Bush Jr. were always my best advocates to be installed into my Shadow Status, so at this time and as always I will lift the Conspiracy orders from them and re-Patriotize them and Their Family too, being as they are Good Reagan Republicans and Have seriously helped Us destroy these Satans of This Nazi-Muhammad alliance within the WhiteHouse at this time. The TRue Killers of Our Patriots at this time to my knowledge are The OBAMA, CLINTON,L.B.J. administrations, as well as all of their Builderburgs and Financial Conspiracies and Terrorist plots. At this time also I am not sure about this one but should be checked out though, The Order of Bones may well be a True Patriot Alliance to The True Christian American Judeau Government that may eventually or sooner take out this Nazi-Muhammad alliance of Anti-Christs too, also I did put these people under this assessment so as to protect the Bush Family and The McCain Family so they would have Military Protections to undermine the Mitt Romney Campaign which may attempt to take over the Nazi-Muhammad allainces if the ABAMA conspiracy does fail and no doubt it will. So we need to do these things in a Code of Silence and take what we have at Our disposal and set up on these Evil doers and Finish the Job and To all of You whom have Made this Happen, God You Always and Forever, Good Job Well Done. God Loves Us He Is Our Creator and we are His Children of Obedience and We Know Our Lord and Saviour too, very well and I Love You 2. The Phantom of The Opera is alive and Well. Broken Spear Here too, The ArrappaHoe. Broken Sheild.
