Israel successfully conducted a series of tests of the Arrow 3 missile system on Sunday in cooperation with the American Missile Defense Agency (MDA) in Alaska, the Defense Ministry said.

The tests were led by the Israel Aerospace Industries and the Defense Ministry along with the Israeli Air Force in a test field in Alaska. The Arrow 3 is meant to intercept ballistic missiles outside the atmosphere.

The test successfully demonstrated a "hit-to-kill" capability of high-altitude targets outside the atmosphere, the defense ministry said. It added that an American AN\TPY2 radar was used in the tests, successfully demonstrating operational link-up between the U.S. detection radar and Israeli missile systems.

According to the defense ministry, the tests were done in Alaska "to carry out tests of the system's capabilities that can't be done in Israel."

Vice Adm. Jon A. Hill, director of the MDA called the test "another milestone in the development of the Arrow weapon system."

"This is an extraordinary operational and technological achievement for the State of Israel," he said, stressing his agency's commitment to help Israel "upgrade its national missile defense capabilities in order to protect itself and American forces deployed in the area from rising threats".

Earlier this week, Iran tested a Shahab-3 medium-range ballistic missile this week, a U.S. defense official told a number of media outlets on condition of anonymity. The missile flew about 1,000 km (620 miles) on Wednesday night, the New York Times reported on Thursday.

The test did not pose a threat to shipping or any U.S. forces in the region, the official said.

The U.S. military intelligence assessment was that the launch was part of Iran’s efforts to improve the accuracy and range of its missiles, CNN reported. According to the Israeli government, the Shahab-3 is capable of carrying a nuclear warhead.

This comes amid rising tensions between Tehran and Washington in the last few months. The Trump administration is following a policy of broad economic sanctions to put pressure on Iran, which has led the Islamic Republic to violate conditions of the multipartite 2015 nuclear deal.

Netanyahu praised the tests on Sunday during the weekly government meeting, saying "The execution was perfect. Today Israel has the capacity to act against ballistic missiles launched at us from Iran or anywhere else."

On Saturday it was reported by Channel 13 News that Israel's Ambassador to the United States Ron Dermer made a rare visit to Alaska a week and a half ago. The visit took place while senior American officials were in Israel to discuss strategic matters concerning Iran. Prior to Dermer's visit in Alaska, he was in Israel for two weeks and reportedly spent a lot of time in the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

In May 2018, the Israeli Ministry of Defense and its American counterpart postponed the joint test of the Arrow 3 missile system, which was to take place in Alaska, due to technical difficulties.

Israel successfully tested the Arrow 3 missile system in January, also with the MDA, in central Israel.

The Arrow 3 is considered the next generation of defense systems, capable of attacking targets at from great distances and heights at a much higher speed. Today the Israeli army uses the Arrow 2, which has been operational for a few of years. It also uses an older version of the Arrow 3, given to the army in January 2017. The new system currently in testing will likely grant the army an ability to deal with more complex scenarios.

how much is the speed on Arrow 3 missiles?
 
. . .
can it intercept hypersonic warhead
Its designed against medium range ballistic missiles (1000-3000 km) which travel at 3-5 km/s (9-15 Mach).

Hypersonic is anything which travels faster than 5 Mach.

The Arrow 3 interceptor is part of the Arrow Weapon System (AWS) which is the world's first operational, national, stand-alone ATBM (Anti Tactical Ballistic Missiles) defense system. Based on the uniquely effective Arrow 2 and Arrow 3 interceptors, the Arrow modular air defense system detects, tracks, intercepts and destroys incoming TBMs carrying a range of warheads and over a large footprint, thereby protecting strategic assets and population centers.

The innovative ARROW 3 interceptor is designed to intercept and destroy the newest, longer-range threats, especially those carrying weapons of mass destruction.

Arrow 3 integrates seamlessly into the Arrow Weapon System (AWS) complementing the current and future blocks of the ARROW 2 interceptor, thus enabling upper-tier multiple engagement opportunities.

ATBM
 
. . .
Should be similar to THAAD - around 3 km/s.

which means around mach 8, and what about its altitude?

ATBM

very good system indeed but its not for Iran as we fight war with money if we say every arrow missile is 3 millions and Iran said that each Sejile_2 missile will cast 400,000 USD well that means Iran can build 6_8 missile with that money and overload the system with numbers 6 to 1. but never the less its were good ATBM system.


Sejile_2

. .
Over 100 km.


Its designed only for space interception.
well 100 km is very nice as after that missile is going to dive and its very hard to hit it when its in dive phase as the first stage is separated and the warhead is very small at that point its to small and to fast to do some thing.

Arrow-2 intercepts at 30-50 km. So if Arrow-3 misses there will be a second chance.

Bulletproof jacket costs 1000$ and bullet costs 20 cents.

exactly


one Q: what do you have for hypersonic warheads ones that are on quasi-ballistic trajectory?
 
.
If Israel has really done it, then it is a great achievement and congratulations to Israeli scientists. As far I know, there is only one company in the world which makes "Hit to Kill" missiles.
