Well, can’t argue with that.

SAM = surface to air missile …. I think Arrow does qualify for that (even if it isn’t used to shoot at aircraft)

Yep, that’s the IAI Machbet:

That’s it the Arrow with the TBM defence capabilities, thanks Wan (I’m getting old).
Erez, mate are there any pics around, I’d be reallin interested in that combo you spoke about!

Well, the Arrow isn’t exactly a traditional SAM, it targers other missiles, not airplanes.

Arrow anti-ballistic missile system?

The IDF uses mostly Patriot and Hawk batteries from the US. Other types are the Stinger, the Israeli “Machbet” (a Vulcan and 4 Stingers combined) and the Chaparral.
The Israeli arms industries are developing other systems such as the SPYDER which is currently not in the IDF.
