Bad news for Iran as Israel develops new defence system that is capable of 'shoot-look-shoot' technology, can detect and stop very fast..., name is... Israel has made its air defense system even stronger with the development of the new Arrow-4 missile defense system. Boaz Levy, the head of Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), confirmed that this advanced system will soon become a key part of the country's national defense. Arrow-4 is an upgraded version of the earlier Arrow-3 system and it is designed to accurately shoot down enemy ballistic missiles, especially those launched from short distances. One of the most important features of Arrow-4 is its 'shoot-look-shoot' technology which means that if the missile is not able to destroy the target on the first attempt, the system quickly checks and makes another precise strike. This new defense system uses advanced warhead technology and a highly sensitive seeker system. Because of this, it can detect and stop very fast, modern ballistic missiles, including those that travel at hypersonic speeds. Recently, when Iran fired advanced ballistic missiles at Israel, the country managed to stop about 85 per cent of them in the air. However, around 50 missiles still hit Israeli land, causing major damage. The goal of launching the Arrow-4 is to fix this gap in defense, so that in the future, not even a single enemy missile is able to reach the ground. Israel speeds up work on Arrow-4, plans for even more powerful Arrow-5 According to Israel Aerospace Industries, it may take up to two years for the new Arrow-4 missile defense system to be fully added into Israel's defense system. However, the Israeli government has already ordered that the process be fast-tracked. At the same time, work is already underway on an even more advanced system called Arrow-5. This future system is expected to replace Arrow-3 in the coming years and make Israel's defense capabilities even more powerful and unbeatable. The Arrow defense series is already known around the world as the first fully working anti-ballistic missile system. It includes Arrow-2 and Arrow-3, which are designed to destroy incoming missiles traveling at speeds of up to 3 kilometers per second, right in mid-air. The Arrow-4 project officially began in 2021 when the United States and Israel announced a joint effort to build the system. For Israel, Arrow-4 is more than just a missile interceptor, it will act as a powerful shield, especially at a time when tensions are high across the Middle East.

Iran-Israel war: How did Iranian missiles Iron Dome, Arrow-3 penetrate Israel's powerful air defense during the war, Explained
Iran-Israel war: How did Iranian missiles Iron Dome, Arrow-3 penetrate Israel's powerful air defense during the war, Explained Iran surprised the whole world with its missile capability during last month's fierce military confrontation with Israel. The way Iran succeeded in penetrating Israel's air defenses by improving its performance during the 12-day war has forced defense analysts to think afresh. Missile defense analysts have now explained how Iran penetrated Israel's three-tier air defense system. Israeli and Washington-based think tanks believe that as the war progressed, the success rate of Iran's missiles increased. The Wall Street Journal report quoted experts as saying that Tehran began firing more advanced, long-range missiles from wider locations in Iran's interior. Iran timed its attacks better and spread its targets in Israel. Despite the fact that most missiles and drones were intercepted, a considerable number of Iranian missiles were successful in hitting Israeli targets. Systems like Israeli Iron Dome and Arrow-3 also proved inadequate. How many missiles fell in Israel in second week of war? The report said that only 8 percent of Iranian missiles hit Israeli air defenses in the first six days of the war, but that rate doubled to 16 percent by the second half of the conflict, according to the Washington-based Jewish Institute for National Security (JINSA). Mora Deitch, head of data analysis at Tel Aviv University's Institute for National Security Studies (INSS), said these figures do not include failed launches and interceptions outside Israeli airspace. How Iran carried out the most successful attack? According to JINSA's analysis, Iran 's most successful attack was on June 22, two days before the ceasefire, when 10 of the 27 missiles fired hit targets in Israel. 'The data show that Iran successfully chose 'how, when and what' to fire,' said Ari Sicurel, JINSA's associate director for foreign policy. Israel's air defense systems, developed in conjunction with the US, are among the world's most advanced, but even the best air defense systems are not impenetrable, the Wall Street Journal reported. During the war, the IDF reported intercepting 90-95 percent of its missiles. Data after the ceasefire showed an overall rate of 86 percent.

Bad news for Iran as Israel develops the Arrow 4 air defense system, it can intercept ballistic missiles from..., capable of destroying...
Israel ready for permanent ceasefire with Hamas but..., Netanyahu lays down condition to stop fight in Gaza, calls Hamas... Tel Aviv: In a major development, the Netanyahu-led Israeli government has announced that it has developed the Arrow-4 air defense system and will soon deploy it for the country's protection. Talking to the media, Boaz Levy, CEO of Israel Aerospace Industries, confirmed that the deployment of Arrow-4 is now 'just a matter of time'. It is important to note that this missile is an upgraded variant of the existing Arrow-3. The Arrow-4 air defense system has been designed to intercept ballistic missiles at shorter ranges with greater accuracy. Israel is also working on the Arrow-5 system. The Arrow-4 system has been developed based on the 'shoot-look-shoot' operational theory, according to Israel Aerospace Industries. 'Shoot-look-shoot' operational theory means it can adjust its course after launch to more effectively destroy the target. It includes new warhead technology and an improved seeker system, enabling it to counter hypersonic and advanced ballistic missiles. During the recent conflict, Iran had used advanced ballistic missiles against Israel. Reports indicate that Israel successfully intercepted about 85 percent of these missiles, yet around 50 missiles did hit Israeli territory, causing significant destruction. The development of Arrow-4 aims to fill the gap in Israel's air defense system that adversaries could exploit. Here are some of the key details: It will take about two more years for this missile defense system to be fully inducted into the Israeli military, according to the reports. Israel has instructed the company to integrate the missiles into the system as soon as possible The Arrow-5 system that Israel is currently working on is expected to replace the Arrow-3 This will enable the country to neutralize even the most advanced ballistic missile threats. Once Arrow-4 is deployed, Israel will gain an additional layer of security beyond the existing Arrow-2 and Arrow-3 systems. This project began in 2021 when Israel and the United States jointly announced the development of the Arrow-4 system. The Arrow series defense system is already the world's first fully operational anti-ballistic missile system, which includes the Arrow-2 and Arrow-3 missiles. The Arrow-2 and Arrow-3 missiles are so powerful that it can intercept incoming missiles traveling at speeds of up to 3 km/second. With the introduction of the Arrow-4, this network will become even more lethal. It has the capability to neutralize hypersonic missiles and uses mid-course correction technology.

Zionist entity's stockpile of Arrow-3 missiles is about to run out
Occupied Quds - Saba: US officials have warned that Israel's stockpile of Arrow-3 interceptor missiles could run out within weeks, as Iranian missile and drone attacks against Israel continue. An American source told the Israeli website Ynet that "there is a risk that the stockpile will run out if the battle with Iran does not end in the coming weeks." The advanced Arrow-3 missiles are used to intercept ballistic missiles outside the atmosphere and constitute a pivotal part of Israel's US-backed air defense system.

Israel running low on missile interceptors as conflict with Iran continues: Report
Israel is running low on the defensive Arrow interceptors, according to a report in Wall Street Journal that cited an unnamed US official, raising concerns about Israel's ability to counter long-range ballistic missiles from Iran if the conflict continues. The report also claimed that US has been aware of the capacity of problems for months and Washington has been augmenting Israel's defenses with systems on the ground, at sea and in the air. The report also stated that since the escalation of conflict in June, Pentagon has sent missile defense assets in the region. However now there is a concern that US is also burning through their supply of interceptrs as well. Director of the Missile Defense Project at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, said that neither the US nor Israel can 'continue to sit and intercept missiles all day.' He also said that Israel and his allies need to move with haste to do whatever needs to be done, and that they 'cannot afford to sit and play catch. Meanwhile, Israel Aerospace Industries, the company that makes Arrow interceptors, did not respond requests about comments on the matter. The Israel Defense Forces said in a statement that, ' IDF is prepared and ready to handle any scenario. Unfortunately, we are unable to comment on matters related to munitions.' The Arrow missile defence system, comprises of Arrow-2 and Arrow-3. This system is designed to intercept ballistic missiles beyond the earth's atmosphere. It employs a detachable warhead that collides with its target, neutralising potential threats before they can reach populated areas. The other layers of Israel's defense system include David's Sling, and the Arrow 2 and Arrow 3 interceptors. The US Army also has similar defense systems as Israel, it has the Patriot PAC-3 (comparable to David's Sling) and THAAD (comparable to Arrow 2), while the US Navy has the Aegis and the SM-3 (comparable to Arrow 3).
