Israel and US hold simulated missile defense exercise
Published: Tuesday March 20, 2007


Israel and the United States on Tuesday concluded a joint computer-based exercise simulating a non-conventional missile strike, military sources said.

The joint air-defence drill, called Juniper Cobra 2007, was designed to improve "understanding and cooperation" between Israeli and US military forces, the Israeli army said.

The exercise included the testing of Israel's Arrow missile interception system as well as the US-produced Patriot system.

No real missiles were intercepted during the computer simulations, which took place over several days, but "both sides were pleased with the results of the exercise," the sources said.

Israel and the United States accuse Iran of using its civil atomic energy programme as a cover for developing nuclear weapons, something Tehran strongly denies.

Israel and the United States conduct bilateral training exercises "on a regular basis," the army said.
