| In fact when you see this picture you understand what the 'Iron Dome' is about | ||
%20Persons/Iron%20Dome%20(1).jpg)
%20Persons/Iron%20Dome%20(2).jpg) |
||
| So many missiles have been fired at Israel that the state needed an effective defense against it | ||
%20Persons/Iron%20Dome%20(1a).jpg) |
||
| The system is meant to protect civilians agains missile attacks from for instance the Gaza-strip. | ||
%20Persons/iron-dome.jpg) |
||
| Israel is the manufacturer itself, by means of Rafael Advanced Defense Systems. | ||
%20Persons/iron-dome3.jpg) |
||
| These units are operational from 2011 and can be named succesful | ||
%20Persons/Iron-Dome-battery1.jpg) |

||
%20PNGs/08%20Various%20a%20(18-PNG).png) |
||
| To get to the base we had to travel a long distance through a yellow-brown desert: The Negev ! | ||

||
| Long roads, from Tel Aviv to almost Eilat, because we could not fly at Ovda because of the exercise | ||

||
| An impression of our trip along miles and miles of desert: | ||

||
| Beware of camels in the neighbourhood ! | ||
%20Images/06%20F-16%20IAF%20(37).JPG) |
||
| After the interview moments we were brought to the platform to witness the departing planes.... | ||
%20Images/06%20F-16%20IAF%20(38).JPG) |
||
| ....several F-16's started and came back rolling off the hill to the platform again | ||
%20Images/06%20F-16%20IAF%20(39).JPG) |
||
| This was quite unique after all, you're in Israel, allowed to make pictures and ask around..... | ||
%20Images/06%20F-16%20IAF%20(42).JPG) |
||
| Blue Flag exercise in Israel, organized for the first time in the desert out of all places as a major large international exercise | ||
%20Images/06%20F-16%20IAF%20(43a).jpg) |
||
| Who needs time to concider such an opportunity to visit. | ||
%20Images/06%20F-16%20IAF%20(43).JPG) |
||
| Blue Flag is not related to any recent developments, neither Iran, nor any other countries. | ||

||
| Short impression: One of the tasks was to detect (and 'eliminate') terrorist cells / small encampments in the desert | ||
%20Images/01%20Target%20(2).JPG) |
||
| Purely by chance and not expected we found some small units in the desert which can be seen as such and probably | ||
| served as such. Here off course it concerned small trainingcamps of the Israeli themselves, nice examples anyway. | ||
