At the end of May, Iran announced the creation of the Kheibar, a ballistic missile with a range of 2,000 km and capable of reaching Mach 16 outside the atmosphere and Mach 8 inside the atmosphere. Israel’s response was swift. Weapons company Rafael Advanced Defense Systems has announced Sky Sonic, a hypersonic missile interceptor missile. She has been working on this show since 2019.
According to the leader, Sky Sonic would be “versatile and able to hit all hypersonic missiles, fly high or low, and more or less maneuver.” He will be unveiled to the public at the Le Bourget air show next week.
The hypersonic threat wielded by various countries such as Iran, but also Russia, China or North Korea, pushes the United States, but also the Europeans to look for a parade. According to our information, the French company MBDA could also present a hypersonic anti-missile weapon at the Paris Air Show.
