Israel has discreetly tested its Arrow missile defence system as ballistic missile threats from Iran continue to shape security calculations across West Asia. Known as the “Big Sister” of Israel’s layered air-defence network, Arrow is designed to intercept long-range ballistic missiles before they can reach their targets.  In this video, we explain how the system works, its US-Israel origins, Germany's purchase, and its role in West Asia’s missile arms race. We also discuss Iran's diverse ballistic missile arsenal, including the Fateh-110, Zolfaghar, Shahab-3, Emad and Sejjil.
