In an important milestone for Israeli naval defense, the Israeli Navy successfully captured eight unmanned air vehicles (UAV), which started from Iran on June 15 using the air defense system “Barak Magen” – marked its first operational use in live struggle.
The first fight using “Barak Magen”
The interceptor “Barak Magen”, installed on board the inns Sa’ar 6 missile, was deployed to neutralize the air threats from Iran within the ongoing defense operations of Israel in the middle of the escalating regional hostility. The advanced system is designed to face a wide range of threats, including:
High trajectory
Growing threat and maritime reaction
According to the Israeli army, the Navy rocket ship – operated under the fleet 3 – delivered eight UAVs overnight, thus the total number of threats of drones neutralized by the Navy since the beginning of the current conflict.
These UAVs have been evaluated in such a way that they focus on civilian areas in Israel, emphasizing the persistent threat represented by the Iranian long -range operation.
The naval reaction was closely coordinated with the Israeli Air Force, allowing effective monitoring of real -time threats and layered capture.
Barak Magen integrates advanced radar with vertical missile launchers and multiple interceptor types: MRAD (short/medium range), LRAD (middle/long range) and ER (extended range).
ER: Potentially up to ~ 150 km
Hard solutions: IP capable of UAV, cruise missiles, coast missiles, high trajectories and ballistic projectiles.
Barak Magen complements the existing Israel systems (Iron Dome, David’s Sling, Arrow, plus the future laser iron beam) and adds a strong naval level to the national defense.
