Israel Air Force to Get Two New Iron Dome Missile Defense Batteries
(Jerusalem Post) Yaakov Katz - The Israel Air Force will take delivery of two Iron Dome batteries with extended ranges by the beginning of 2013. The new batteries will join the four that have already seen action over the past year. They come equipped with new software and a new radar system to enable each battery to protect a larger area. In addition, the IAF plans to take delivery in the coming weeks of an upgraded and improved interceptor rocket that will also contribute to the extension of the Iron Dome's range.
