IAI expands on multi-layered approach to integrated air defence using Barak MX missile family, hinting at smart launcher function for better target acquisition; downplays reports of Moroccan acquisition.
Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) displayed its Barak LRAD (long-range air defence) and Barak ER interceptor missiles at Singapore Airshow 2022.
The display coincides with media reports suggesting that the Royal Moroccan Armed Forces has inked a deal for the Barak MX integrated air and missile defence system, which both missiles are part of.
