Finland Buys Israel’s David’s Sling For Huge Air Defense Upgrade

David’s Sling is a huge upgrade for Finland’s air defenses and will protect the country from ballistic and other high-speed missiles. [...]

NATO’s newest member, Finland, announced Wednesday it will procure the David’s Sling medium-range air defense system from Israel. This is the first export customer for the system. [...] The acquisition, valued at $345 million not including value added tax with options adding up to an additional $236 million, “will create a new capability for the Finnish Defense Forces to intercept targets at high altitude,” Finnish Defense Minister Antti Kaikkonen said in a statement. “At the same time we are continuing the ambitious and long-term development of Finland’s defense capability in a new security environment.”
