South Korea interested in buying Iron Dome

Yedidia Ya’ari of Rafael Advanced Defense Systems Ltd says South Korea, as well as other countries, has expressed interest in purchasing the Iron Dome missile interceptor system, Reuters reports.

“It is very worried not only about rockets, but other things as well … You can certainly include them in the club of interested countries,” he tells Army Radio.

Ya’ari says he was surprised by the success rate of the Iron Dome system during the Gaza campaign, which stands at around 90 percent, and adds that its accuracy can still be improved.

He also assesses that a technological solution for detection of the tunnels will soon be developed.
