Defense Ministry: Stopping drones a "national priority" (BONUS: footage of drone-killing weapons)
Following the lethal drone attack on a Golani base two days ago, the Defense Ministry is ramping up efforts to develop a multi-level approach to dealing with drones.
Following the lethal drone attack against a Golani base a few days ago, the Defense Minister and ministry senior officials observed the first experiment of its kind for a drone-killing device.
Watch some of the demonstrations here:
Defense Ministry Director-General, Maj.-Gen. (res.) Eyal Zamir said that "the response to the drone threat is a national mission of the highest priority. The Defense Ministry has invested hundreds of millions of NIS in development, massive acquisition, and deployment of capabilities so far."
He added that "under the directive of the Defense Minister, we defined a 'green track' for connecting with and ensuring the rapid operational deployment for anyone who brings an effective solution - large industries and startups alike."
He ended by saying that "our goal is to complete the development and deployment of new interception systems within the shortest timeframe, which together with existing layers of defense - the laser system and other means we are developing and producing, will bring a broader solution."
