Joint missile test in Mediterranean
Print Edition
Israel and the US conducted a joint missile test over the Mediterranean yesterday in an apparent display of military prowess as the Obama administration seeks congressional support for strikes against the government of Syrian President Bashar Assad.
The Israeli Defense Ministry said the test of its Arrow 3 missile-defense system was performed together with the US Defense Department.
“A successful test was held to check our systems,” Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon said. “We will continue to develop and research and equip the Israeli military with the best systems in the world.”
A Sparrow missile was launched at 9:15am and followed its planned trajectory. The Arrow defense system detected and tracked the target, the ministry said.
The Sparrow is a medium-range guided missile that can be launched from the surface or the air to hit aerial targets.
