surface-to-air missile

Arrow 2 was reportedly used in combat for the first time in 2017, to shoot down a Syrian surface-to-air missile.

Israel in February launched its deepest strikes into Lebanon in years, hitting the Bekaa Valley in response to a surface-to-air missile attack that downed an Israeli drone over southern Lebanon.

The Israeli military said a surface-to-air missile was fired toward a drone operating in Lebanese airspace, adding that it was hit and fell in Lebanese territory.

Supplies of US-made surface-to-air missile systems were delayed by wrangling in Congress over a multi-billion dollar aid package for Ukraine which was only passed last month.

The Houthis claimed that they shot down the Reaper on Thursday with a surface-to-air missile.
