Israel successfully tests David's Sling's interceptor

Israel and the US in recent days successfully tested the David's Sling defense system, designed to stop long-range rockets and cruise missiles, bringing the country a step closer to having an active defense shield against Hezbollah's arsenal of projectiles.

In the test, a David's Sling battery stationed in southern Israel fired a two-stage interceptor missile and stopped an incoming missile.

Das ist der erste Test dieses Systems, das die Lücke zwischen Iron Dome und Arrow 2/3 füllen soll.
