Air defence systems play a defining role amid the changing nature of warfare. This was borne out last month, when Iran launched a barrage of missiles and drones into Israeli airspace.

Projectiles launched by Iran barely had any effect, thanks to Israel’s sophisticated air defence systems.
Iron Dome, Arrow 2 and Arrow 3, David’s Sling are some of the key components of Israel’s air defence.
