Israel Buys APKWS Rockets for Drone Defense
Description
Israels $1B Drone Defense Deal: APKWS Rockets Flip Cost Equation
Israel is set to acquire ten thousand Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System (APKWS) rockets from BAE Systems for $992.4 million, aiming to counter Irans drone threat. After a costly war with Iran, Israel faces ongoing missile and drone skirmishes. The APKWS rockets, laser-guided upgrades to basic Hydras, can take down Iranian-style drones for a fraction of the cost of Patriot missiles. Qatar has also ordered ten thousand units, maxing out BAEs production and driving up prices. BAEs electronic systems unit is expected to benefit significantly from this sellers market.
