I suppose it is easier to intercept a iranian missile than a syrian, right?

I wonder if this is actually true - or if putting out this news is a way of deflecting Iran from sabre rattling.
Also, I certainly do not think any such technology should be sold to Turkey. There are just too many possibilities of spies getting a hold of the product and building up a better missile capable of getting through the shield.

"If someone thinks that a large percentage of his missiles will be intercepted, he will think twice before attacking," Herzog said.
Not if they could mass launch the cheap missiles.

No defensive system, the Arrow or anything else, gives "full protection" against madmen.
The only full protection against Iran is dead leaders of that unfortunate land. Lots of dead leaders. Maybe thousands....

Good for them. Now we will not have to take the blame for the Patriot missing occasionally.

They must expect a counter-attack soon, and they're giving notice.
Is some attack in the air?

The article says it's for ballistic missiles. So what about cruise missiles?

The silo electronics in seven silos are being replaced for about $25 million due to flooding in the unusually heavy rainfall last summer at Fort Greely. The seven silos are under construction and do not have operational ABMs. The operational silos have remained fully operational all along.

Who's the yutz that came up with this plan?..
Isreal is too small an area for this tactic.. MADD tactics is the only way.. Isreal has nukes too.. They need to make it known.. Nuke Isreal and every muslim capital from Damascus to Pakistan will become a parking lot....

Discussing the Second Lebanon War, Herzog said a missile defense system that was effective against the short-range Katyusha ... could have changed the outcome in Israel's favor.A very important point and I recall discussions of this on FR last summer. Just hoping and praying that Israel has learned from this experience and is prioritizing the development of such a system.

The fact that one missile with either nukes or bio/chemical weapons might get through would make the Israelis wonder if this is the real answer.Yep. Anyone in the Air Defense community will tell you there are always "leakers" who will slip through the crack. The (current) Israeli Government is delusional if they believe this.

the Israeli- and American-developed Arrow missile, one of the only operational ballistic missile defense systems in the world. When I have bent Judah for me and filled the bow with Ephraim ping.
