The Arrow 3 or Hetz 3 is an exoatmospheric hypersonic anti-ballistic missile.
An Israeli firm and Boeing have put this to the test where there’s a lot of open air space. They claim the tests were successful.
Israel wants it to protect from missile attacks from Iran. The US obvious wants it for simple defense from whomever.
This is a huge technological achievement. The Arrow 3 is the most sophisticated anti-ballistic missile system in the world.
Senior Israeli defense officials said the test proves that Israel is several years ahead of the Iranians when it comes to missile technology.
Which means the US now has an outstanding missile defense.
