Israel Working on System to Counter Hypersonic Missiles
(Ynet News) Ron Ben-Yishai - The successful testing of the Arrow-3 missile defense system in Alaska last week proves Israel's ability to destroy a ballistic missile from Iran armed with a nuclear warhead. And it works not just against Iranian missiles. Any missiles fired at Israel from around the world could be brought down if Iran's atomic aspirations lead to nuclear proliferation. Hypersonic missiles, which travel at five times the speed of sound, are now being developed that existing missile interception systems are not capable of stopping. Israel is working on a new system to counter the next generation of hypersonic missiles. It is also working on a laser defense system to destroy multiple targets within minutes.
