The Pentagon decided to acquire the Israeli missile defense system "Iron Dome".

The US Department of Defense has decided to purchase from Israel two anti-missile and anti-aircraft batteries "Iron Dome". Deliveries of these anti-missile and air defense systems are planned to begin next year, and although the amount of the contract is not called, experts believe that we are talking about a multibillion-dollar amount.

According to experts, on the basis of the Israeli missile defense system "Iron Dome" it is planned to create a new, more promising than the existing, air defense system, which should complement the existing US Patriot complexes. Nevertheless, there are also opinions that the United States plans to use the base of the Israeli "Iron Dome" to create missile defense systems capable of effectively intercepting missiles and projectiles moving at supersonic and hypersonic speeds, the main reason for which was the high efficiency of the Israeli reflection complex attacks from the Hamas group.

It should be clarified that the Pentagon has not yet received any official comments on this matter.
