The Barak MX air defense system, developed by Israel Aerospace Industries, is a modular, network-centric platform built on an open architecture. Available in both land-based and Sea-based variants, it supports a wide range of radars and interceptor missiles, enabling engagement against diverse aerial, cruise, and ballistic threats. Given its export to foreign clients—particularly to conflict-prone regions such as the South Caucasus, the southern Persian Gulf, and the Eastern Mediterranean—Barak MX is regarded not only as an advanced weapon system but also as a geopolitical lever for Israel.

The IAI Eitan drone—known in Hebrew as “Steadfast” within the Israeli Air Force and marketed internationally as the Heron TP—represents a shift from traditional tactical border surveillance toward projecting power deep into distant territories. This evolution marks a transition from the successful Heron-1 system, a medium-altitude long-endurance (MALE) UAV, to the Eitan platform, which belongs to the high-altitude long-endurance (HALE) class. The deployment of such a drone by the Israeli Air Force reflects a longstanding strategic ambition by the Israeli regime to develop capabilities for conducting long-range, high-impact missions.

The Arrow is a series of anti-ballistic missiles jointly funded, developed and produced by the Israeli regime and the United States of America.

IAI Harop is an expensive loitering munition produced by the Israel Aerospace Industries. This expensive drone is an improved version of Harpy drone and is also known as Harpy-2.

Harop drone has been used operationally by the Azerbaijani army against Armenian air defense systems and vehicles in the Nagorno-Karabakh War.
