The Israeli channel i24NEWS published a report in Arabic entitled” Israel intercepted a Yemeni missile beyond the borders of the earth”.
The Israeli channel Redovka concluded that the first military engagement in space took place between Israel and Yemen after relying on the fact that the Israeli air defense system” Aru-3 “intercepted a ballistic missile on October 31 at an altitude of about 100 kilometers,” that is, outside the Earth’s atmosphere.
The channel’s Telegram website added: “This event has thus become humanity’s first recorded real combat conflict in space. Fortunately, there were no injuries or destruction in this engagement.
In its conclusion, the site was based on scientists’ earlier determination that the area of the end of our atmosphere and the beginning of space The so-called Karman Line, an approximate area usually defined as 100 kilometers (62 miles) above Earth, can orbit the Earth at altitudes below the Karman Line. But that requires very high orbital speed, which will be difficult to maintain due to friction, but nothing prevents it.
The Jerusalem Post reported that the Aru air defense system shot down a ballistic missile for the first time. It explained that this system is part of the upper level of Israel’s missile defensive shield (the “David slingshot” is part of the middle level).
The Aru system, developed by Israel Air Industries in cooperation with Israeli and US defense agencies, showed today that Israel has the most advanced technology to protect against ballistic missiles with a different range.
This is not the first time Aru has been able to intercept a target. In 2017, he shot down a Syrian surface-to-air missile. However, Israeli military engineer Uzi Rubin noted that the ballistic missile from Yemen was a much more difficult target, and the Aru system was developed for such targets.
On October 31, the military spokesman for the armed forces in Sana’a said that a group of ballistic and cruise missiles had been fired at Israel.
