What is Aero Missile Defense System?
Israel's air defense industry has developed an air defense system in cooperation with the US Missile Defense Agency. Aero Missile Defense System is a system of surface-to-surface missiles. Israel started building this system in 1980 with the cooperation of America. After several successful tests, the Aero Missile Defense System was introduced into the Israeli military in 1990.
After this, Israel had successfully tested the Aero Missile Defense System. The biggest feature of this defense system is that it can simultaneously destroy incoming missiles from all sides. This system has the capability to destroy enemy short and medium range missiles in the air. Long-range missiles with Arrow 2 and 3 systems can be destroyed in the air before they reach Israel.
