Israel to ramp up production of Arrow interceptors

(Seth J. Frantzman – Breaking Defense) Just days before the US and Iran announced a tenuous ceasefire, Israel said it was planning a “significant increase” in the production of Arrow interceptors for what it called an “evolving campaign.”. “The large-scale acceleration of Arrow interceptor production is already driving a significant increase in monthly output, strengthening Israel’s upper defense layer against ballistic threats from Iran and its proxies,” Israeli Minister of Defense Israel Katz said in a Ministry of Defense statement on Monday. He said that while Israel has enough interceptors to protect its citizens, “this initiative is designed to ensure continued freedom of action and the sustained operational endurance we require. The Ayatollah regime should know: Israel is resilient and strong, prepared to sustain the campaign for as long as necessary, and continues to enhance its defensive and offensive capabilities while fighting.” – Israel to ramp up production of Arrow interceptors – Breaking Defense
