The operational scenarios encountered recently by the Israeli Air Force (IAF) aerial defence units were the basis for a massive exercise in which Patriot and Iron Dome systems were used extensively, earlier this week.

Completed by the IDF, the joint drill of the Patriot and Iron Dome missile defense systems, successfully intercepted targets at high altitudes and different ranges.

The drill was held at an IAF base in central Israel and scenarios based on real events that the IAF’s air defense units encountered in recent months in different fronts, mainly with Syria, Lebanon and Gaza.

Officers from two foreign lands – the US and Greek armed forces – visited the exercise and were briefed about the operational conclusions from operating bot systems.

In July 2018 the IAF launched two Patriot missiles at a Syrian fighter aircraft that entered the Israeli airspace.

The Sukhoi 22 fighter aircraft managed to penetrate two kilometers into the skies of Israel. The IDF Spokesperson’s Unit said that the plane was under surveillance from the moment it entered Israeli airspace.
