| Conducting Iron Dome Missile Test, Israel Successfully Intercepts Rocket Fire |
International Military - Recently, it was reported that Israeli troops had successfully tested the Navy's version of the Iron Dome missile defense system. It is known that in this test they used the C-Dome system in the hope of increasing Israel's security.
Quoted from abcnews.com, the C-Dome system is a naval version of the Iron Dome, which has been used to shoot down rockets fired from the Gaza Strip. Currently the C-Dome is being installed aboard the latest generation of Israeli corvette warships, which are useful for protecting coastlines and offshore natural gas assets in the Mediterranean.
The Israeli Defense Minister also revealed that they are indeed developing a system that can be used for Israeli missile defense. Not only that, he also explained that the C-Dome will be part of Israel's multilayer missile defense system. Which includes weapons capable of intercepting everything from long-range missiles to short-range rockets.
Quoted by the EurAsian Times, the C-Dome missile test was successfully carried out on Monday, February 21, 2022. The C-Dome was developed in collaboration between the army, the Israeli Ministry of Defense, and defense companies based in Israel. The C-Dome system is specifically designed to intercept any advanced threats that may occur later.
In this case, a series of tests have been carried out to test the C-Dome to see its performance. One of them is by simulating a number of advanced threats, such as rocket fire, cruise missiles and UAVs.
Amazingly, the C-Dome managed to do its job well and intercepted it. In this live-fire test, the testers were able to determine the operational capabilities of the system being developed. Which later can be used to defend strategic assets and also vital interests for the state of Israel.
Not only that, in the test session there were also rocket fire, cruise missile attacks, and unmanned aerial vehicles.
