US Marines deployed a new missile defense system built around the Israeli Tamir interceptor during the Valiant Shield exercise, according to reports. The Tamir interceptor is the core component of Israel's Iron Dome system, which has been in operational use for over a decade. The deployment marks the first known use of a Tamir-based system for Guam's defense. The Zioneer has previously reported on Israel's air defense upgrades, including the integration of the Iron Beam laser system with Iron Dome (July 1). The exercise highlights the growing international interest in Israeli missile defense technology.
