Israel Aerospace Industry announces succesful test launch of Barak 8 system
The Systems Missiles and Space Group of the Israel Aerospace Industry conducted its first successful test launch of the Barak 8 system that was designed to intercept enemy aircraft and missiles from naval ships, which also functions from a ground configuration.
After the successful launch, the system is expected to be fully operational for use by the Navy in the coming months. According to a high-ranking source in the aerospace industry, the system will also be able to intercept advanced P-800 Oniks coastal missiles from Syria, which Israel suspects will also be used by the hands of Hezbollah.
