Missile defense “David's Sling” – a universal and long-range system / Collage 24 Channel Israel sold its David's Sling missile defense system to Finland for the first time. Such global systems are provided directly, so their re-export to Ukraine is impossible. This opinion was voiced by Israeli military expert David Sharp to Channel 24 . According to him, the David's Sling missile defense system is more versatile and long-range than the Patriot PS-3. David Sharp noted that the David's Sling missile defense system was originally designed to hit ballistic missiles launched at a target. The system can also hit cruise missiles of all types – this is one of its main tasks in Israel's missile defense. This system can be compared to some extent with the Patriot PS-3 modification. However, it is more universal, longer-range. We are talking about a system that is designed to hit missiles. From the very beginning, it was intended to hit ballistic missiles launched at a target, at an object that is guarded, with a range of 40 to 300 kilometers. Perhaps more,” he explained. In addition, the David's Sling missile defense can hit aircraft, drones, and airplanes. It is considered the pride of the Israeli military-industrial complex and has been successfully used in the war with Hamas. “The principle of its operation is similar to the Patriot PS-3. The missile does not have an exploding warhead. It hits the target only with a kinetic impact. Due to the absence of a warhead, the missile benefits from light weight in speed and range. Therefore, it is a long-range system,” said a military expert . David Sharp about the David's Sling missile defense: watch the video Universal missile defense system
