Moreover, according to the newspaper, this is also the first time that the Arrow missile defense system, jointly developed by the United States and Israel, was used for its main purpose, namely to shoot down a long-range ballistic missile at high altitude and high speed.
Earlier in November, the submarine cruiser “Emperor Alexander III” successfully completed a test launch of the sea-based ballistic missile “Bulava” from the White Sea across the Kura battlefield on the Kamchatka Peninsula. The launch took place as usual from an underwater position, and the missile warheads reached the target on time.
