According to a statement released by the Israeli Ministry of Defense on Thursday, August 12
0:12
2020, Israel and the United States complete a successful flight test of Arrow 2 ballistic missile
0:19
Arrow 2 is a ballistic missile system developed by Israel Aerospace Industries, which was
0:25
deployed in service with the Israeli Armed Forces in 2000. The Arrow missile family was designed as a territorial missile defense system that will
0:33
be more effective against ballistic missiles than the MIM-144 Patriot surface-to-air missile
0:39
The Arrow 2 missile has a length of 7 meters, a diameter of 0.8 meters, and weights 1,300 kilos
0:47
It contains a high-explosive focus fragmentation warhead and has a maximum range and altitude
0:53
of 90 kilometers and 50 kilometers, respectively. It has an accuracy within 4 meters of the target
1:02
I'm very glad to announce that this evening we succeeded in the Arrow 2 flight test here
1:10
in Israel. This flight test is coming after 20 years when we deployed the Arrow weapon system and
1:16
delivered it to the Israeli Air Force. Since we delivered the Arrow 2 weapon system in 2000, we upgraded the system at least four
1:26
or five significant upgrades. Together with the Arrow 3 weapon system that just last year succeeded in three consecutive
1:34
flight tests in Alaska, we can ensure the security of the State of Israel
1:40
The target missile was launched toward the State of Israel from the Mediterranean Sea
1:46
The system radar, the Green Pine, acquired the target and tracked on it until the moment
1:52
that interceptor was launched toward the target and intercepted on the right moment
1:58
as expected
