Financial Times: risk of Israel’s Arrow system against Iran’s ballistic missiles running dry

Israel may soon find itself in the position of having to choose which targets to protect first, the report says.

Newsroom October 15 01:02


Possible shortcomings in the Arrow 1 and Arrow 2 systems, two of Israel’s main weapons against ballistic missiles are cited in a report by the Financial Times.

Citing the views of experts and former military officers, the publication says that Israel may soon find itself in the position of having to choose which targets to protect first.

According to former US defense official Dana Strawl, if Iran and Hezbollah attack Israel at the same time, its missile shield may not succeed.

She noted that the US will not be able to supply both Ukraine and Israel at the same time as the supply of materials reaches critical levels.

Indicative of the situation is the statement by the CEO of state-owned Israel Aerospace Industries, which produces the rockets for the Arrow system, that they are working in triple shifts to meet production needs.

“Some of the production lines are working 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We aim to meet all our obligations,” Boaz Levy told the Financial Times.

As he explained, the production time of such a rocket “is not a matter of days”. “It’s no secret that we need to replace our stocks,” he added.

As recalled in the article, Israel’s missile defense is deployed in three layersand so far has adequately responded to intercepting drones and missiles from Iran and its allies.

The Iron Dome system stops short-range rockets fired from Gaza, the “David’s Sling” intercepts more powerful rockets from Lebanon, and the Arrow system shoots down ballistic missiles from Iran.
