Israel's New Advanced Missile Defense System

Another great idea for the Israeli defense forces the Barak 8 missile defense system will provide a great boost to Israeli military power. Barak 8 (the Hebrew word for Lightning) is an Indo-Israeli surface-to-air missile (SAM), designed to defend against any type of airborne threat including aircraft, helicopters, anti-ship missiles, and UAVs. Both maritime and land-based versions of the system exist.
