Britain decided to deploy in the Falkland Islands a new air defense system. According to a report from the defenseworld.net portal, the British Defense Ministry has officially announced the purchase of the Israeli Sky Saber missile system.

The purchase of the new air defense system was carried out within the amount of £ 280 million, which the Minister of Defense of the United Kingdom Michael Fallon promised to allocate for increasing the defense capability of the Falkland Islands. The military department indicates that Sky Saber should make full money already in 2020.

The Iron Dome system is designed to intercept unguided tactical missiles at a distance from 4 to 70 km. Its development began in 2006 year, and the first successful tests took place a year later. In 2011, the battery was deployed in Israel between Beer Sheva and Ashkelon, where it demonstrated 100% efficiency by shooting down all eight Grad rockets launched from the Gaza Strip in the aforementioned cities, reports "Warspot"

              It’s clear that in Israel it’s relevant, to defend oneself from barmaley,
              but is it possible that today Argentina will bombard objects with unguided tactical missiles?

              PS
              With my own eyes in the summer of 2014 I saw how such a rocket was shot down over Tel Aviv

        On April 2, 1982, Argentine troops also landed on the Falkland Islands. A company of 80 Marines, located in Port Stanley, capitulated without resistance by order of Governor Rex Hunt. Galtieri appointed General Mario Menendos, Commander of the Argentine Expeditionary Force, the new governor. England on the same day broke off diplomatic relations with Argentina.
