Israel Begins to Arm its Corvettes With the Iron Dome
The Israeli defense company Israel Aerospace Industries [IAI] begins to install Barak MX anti-aircraft missile systems on all four Sa`ar 6 corvettes intended for the Israeli Navy.
The Israeli Ministry of Defense wants to usher in its naval forces in a “new technological era.” The Israeli Defense Ministry also wants to get a kind of “floating batteries” to protect coastal facilities and facilities in the exclusive maritime zone.
All four ships of this type were built in Germany and arrived in Israel without any weapons system.
