Israel and China Unveil New Missile Systems
Last January, Israel announced plans for a new missile defense system that would intercept mid- to long-range rockets and missiles used by Hezbollah. Last week, Israel announced that it has created prototypes of the missiles. Jointly developed by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems and U.S. defense contractor Raytheon, the interceptors will be used to defend against Hamas and Hezbollah, two Islamic groups openly hostile to Israel.
In other news, China will unveil new missile defense equipment, which includes the SY 400 rocket-powered guided missile weapon system, at the 7th China International Aviation & Aerospace Exhibition beginning November 4 in the Zhuhai Airshow Center. China will present such technology as missile armaments, high-tech Olympic products, and emergency rescue equipment.
