The Israeli Navy recently conducted a successful test of an LRAD interceptor missile, part of the Barak MX air defense system, launched from a Sa’ar 6-class corvette, the Israeli Defense Forces announced on August 2.
In a statement, the military said that the test included a “precision rocket fired at a target representing a strategic asset at sea.”
The Barak MX system identified the target and shot it down with an LRAD interceptor missile, according to the Israeli Navy.
The Barak MX is the latest version of the Barak 8 air defense system which was jointly developed by Israel and India to defend against airborne threats including fighter jets, helicopters and drones as well as anti-ship, ballistic and cruise missiles.
The exact range of the new LRAD missile is unknown, but it can reportedly intercept targets at altitudes up to 20 kilometers.
The three Sa’ar 5-class and three Sa’ar 6-class corvettes currently in service with the Israeli Navy can all launch Barak 8 missiles.
The test of the new interceptor came as Israel is preparing for a possible response to its recent strikes on the Houthi-held Yemeni Red Sea port of al-Hodeida, the assassinations of Hezbollah’s military chief Fuad Shukr in the Lebanese capital, Beirut, and Hamas’s leader Ismail Haniyeh in the Iranian capital, Tehran.
Recent Arab media reports speculated that Iran and its allies could target key Israeli ports or even the country’s off-shore gas and oil rigs.

uncle sam and his zionist brother need to be eradicated.
oh no, the world and the people on it are too good and righteous for that!!!!
iran & syria, yemen are the last 3 nations on earth without rothchild central banking system , and thus uncontrolled by the world jewry. years ago there were also libya and iraq, but you know what happend to them. so these three nations syria and iran & yemen( and maybe libanon, i don tknow) are the last 3 resp 4 nations that seperat the jews from total financial world domination.
war with usrael is unavoidable – but to win iran,syria&lebanon, yemen need to play their cards cleverely. they need to 1. drag usa into quagmire in yemen&iraq. 2. draw israel into lebanon while at same time isolating israel from both sea-sides. mediterrain&red sea. when after 10years usa army is totally finished in iraq& yemen & forced to retreat – iran,lebanon,yemen,syria need to storm & overrun israel & make it disappear from the face of the earth !
