Rafael eyes India production line for Iron Dome interceptors
Rafael Advanced Defense Systems is reportedly in talks with Indian defense companies to establish a production line in India for Tamir interceptor missiles used in Israel’s Iron Dome air defense system.
The proposed production line would expand Rafael’s global manufacturing footprint for Iron Dome interceptors, which are currently produced in northern Israel, with an additional US production line launched in partnership with Raytheon.
