The United States military has successfully completed a test of the Israeli-designed Iron Dome missile system in a missile range in a remote New Mexico desert.
The Iron Dome missiles were part of a live fire exercise in which the system destroyed several targets, while being tested to ensure it was compliant with US army systems.

“It’s important to understand that implementation for the US is about the ability to integrate this system into our air defense picture,” said Maj. Gen. Brian Gibson, who oversaw the test.
