Yuval Azoulay, Haaretz Correspondent : Defense Min. says unimpressed by anti-missile system
Talkback
Title: Give a warning before firing missiles. Name: Ethan City: Haifa State:
It appears that in order for the anti missile system to work the enemy shall have to give at least a few months warning (time of attack, coordinates of firing position and target)before launching. This can be compared to asking the Japanese to inform Washington of their intent to attack Pearl Habour. Previous reports claimed that the Nautilus anti-missile system had a one hundred percent sucess rate against missiles. Quotation from Jerusalem Post. "In White Sands, Buhris watched a test of the system which included the firing of 36 rockets, eight of which were intercepted." This is before counter measures are taken to insulate the missiles against the effects of heating with a laser beam.
