Rafael Advanced Defense Systems reports increased Iron Dome inventory after conflicts
What happened
Rafael Advanced Defense Systems reported that it has more Tamir interceptors in stock than it had before the wars with Iran, despite thousands of interceptors being fired to defend against missiles, rockets, and drones. The company noted that recent conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine have exposed that industrial capacity is crucial for sustaining prolonged military operations.
