00:00:00,080 –> 00:00:03,759
Speaker 1: As multiple wars in the Middle East appeer unabated, Israel,

2
00:00:04,040 –> 00:00:07,240
the main defender and attacker on multiple waterfronts in the

3
00:00:07,240 –> 00:00:11,800
city of Gaza, Lebanon, Iran, Yemen, and Noo. Syria has

4
00:00:11,919 –> 00:00:16,239
ordered the Israel Aerospace Industries IAI to mass produce arrow

5
00:00:16,280 –> 00:00:19,800
missiles interceptors in a very large numbers, with the Israel

6
00:00:19,839 –> 00:00:22,600
Ministry of Defense saying that the State of Israel has

7
00:00:22,679 –> 00:00:26,120
increased its defense spending for twenty twenty five and twenty

8
00:00:26,199 –> 00:00:29,760
twenty six to forty two billion new Israeli shekels, which

9
00:00:29,800 –> 00:00:34,359
is approximately twelve point five billion dollars. During the twelve

10
00:00:34,479 –> 00:00:37,960
day war with Iran, there were multiple reports that Israel

11
00:00:38,079 –> 00:00:41,640
was running low on arrow missiles interceptors defense system as

12
00:00:41,640 –> 00:00:45,320
Iran long range missiles were seen hitting targets in Israel.

13
00:00:46,039 –> 00:00:50,679
Aerospace observers said the advanced arrow high altitude defense systems

14
00:00:50,679 –> 00:00:54,759
are critical to countering long range ballistic missile threats like

15
00:00:54,840 –> 00:00:57,560
those launched from Iran during the twelve day war in

16
00:00:57,640 –> 00:01:01,679
June twenty twenty five. According to the Israel Ministry of

17
00:01:01,719 –> 00:01:05,439
Defense in a press statement on Thursday, the Director General

18
00:01:05,439 –> 00:01:10,560
of the Israel Ministry of Defense IMOD, Major General Reservist

19
00:01:10,680 –> 00:01:15,000
Emir Barm signed a production contract to significantly accelerate the

20
00:01:15,040 –> 00:01:20,040
serial production of Arrow interceptors at IAI Israel Aerospace Industries.

21
00:01:20,799 –> 00:01:24,480
As part of the deal, IAI will supply the IMOD

22
00:01:24,719 –> 00:01:28,920
with a significant additional amount of Arrow interceptors. The deal

23
00:01:29,040 –> 00:01:32,680
was led by Moshe Patel, director of the Israel Missile

24
00:01:32,760 –> 00:01:38,200
Defense Organization IMDO within the Ministry’s Directorate of Defense Research

25
00:01:38,239 –> 00:01:43,680
and Development DDRD. The Arrow system, developed and manufactured in

26
00:01:43,719 –> 00:01:49,760
cooperation with the US Missile Defense Agency MDA, demonstrated significant

27
00:01:49,799 –> 00:01:54,280
interception capabilities during the Swords of Iron War, especially during

28
00:01:54,319 –> 00:01:59,239
Operation Rising Lion. The system provides exo atmospheric and endo

29
00:01:59,319 –> 00:02:04,840
atmospheric interception capabilities against ballistic missile threats, protecting the State

30
00:02:04,879 –> 00:02:09,120
of Israel from strategic long range threats. The Arrow system

31
00:02:09,240 –> 00:02:12,599
integrates cutting edge technologies and is considered one of the

32
00:02:12,639 –> 00:02:17,439
world’s most advanced air and missile defense systems. IAI is

33
00:02:17,479 –> 00:02:20,639
the prime contractor for developing the Arrow system and its

34
00:02:20,680 –> 00:02:24,800
interceptors through its MLM facility in partnership with the US

35
00:02:24,800 –> 00:02:30,759
company Stark Aerospace. Other partners include iais Alta and Tammam divisions.

36
00:02:31,080 –> 00:02:36,840
Albert systems, TOMA and Raphael Advanced defense systems. The US

37
00:02:36,879 –> 00:02:41,039
Missile Defense Agency MDA is a major partner of the

38
00:02:41,080 –> 00:02:45,639
IMDO at the Ministry’s DDRD in the development and production

39
00:02:45,719 –> 00:02:49,599
of Israel’s multi layered defense systems, including the Arrow and

40
00:02:49,719 –> 00:02:53,280
David’s Sling weapon systems, and the production of iron Dome

41
00:02:53,360 –> 00:02:58,719
defense system components. The strategic cooperation between the MDA and

42
00:02:58,800 –> 00:03:03,759
the IMDO held ensure Israel’s technological, engine, air and missile defense.

43
00:03:04,599 –> 00:03:09,639
Also on Thursday, Israel Aerospace Industries IAI, in a statement

44
00:03:09,719 –> 00:03:13,919
said Israel is reinforcing its defenses on all fronts at

45
00:03:14,000 –> 00:03:18,120

46
00:03:18,560 –> 00:03:22,479
the Ministry of Defense has signed a significant production contract

47
00:03:22,520 –> 00:03:26,719
with Israel Aerospace Industries IAI to fast track the mass

48
00:03:26,759 –> 00:03:31,919
production of Arrow interceptors. This strategic step will significantly increase

49
00:03:31,960 –> 00:03:37,000
production and expand Israel’s interceptor stockpiles, ensuring the country remains

50
00:03:37,000 –> 00:03:41,199
fully prepared for both ongoing operations and future long range threats.

51
00:03:41,919 –> 00:03:47,159
The Arrow system, designed to intercept ballistic missiles outside Earth’s atmosphere,

52
00:03:47,520 –> 00:03:51,639
proved its unmatched performance during the recent defense campaign, saving

53
00:03:51,719 –> 00:03:56,719
lives and preventing widespread damage as the lead developer and manufacturer,

54
00:03:57,120 –> 00:04:01,039
IAI is operating at full capacity in collaborate with trusted

55
00:04:01,080 –> 00:04:05,159
partners in Israel and around the world. Together, we’re not

56

developed per Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s instructions to strengthen readiness

68
00:04:56,240 –> 00:05:02,079
and technological superiority against distant threats, the Misis ministry said. Additionally,

69
00:05:02,480 –> 00:05:06,199
mechanisms for the oversight of the defense budget will be strengthened.

70
00:05:06,480 –> 00:05:10,480
According to the statement, the Director General of the Ministry,
