Israeli Missile Interceptor Passes New Test
(Reuters) Dan Williams - Israel's new David's Sling missile interceptor could be ready for deployment next year after being rushed through production. Developed in partnership with the U.S., the interceptor, designed to shoot down missiles with ranges of between 100 km. and 200 km., passed its second live trial by downing a "short-range ballistic missile" on Wednesday, officials said. David's Sling will bridge the Iron Dome short-range interceptor and the Arrow ballistic missile interceptor, both already operational, to form a multi-level shield against Iran and its allies.
