Israel and the United States are going to carry out massive joint missile drills in the Negev desert next year as the allies up their military cooperation.
以色列和美國將要在明年於內格夫沙漠開展大規模的聯合導彈演習，作為盟國的軍事合作。
The military maneuvers, codenamed Juniper Cobra, will be held in early 2012 and will include the Arrow 2 and Iron Dome missile systems as well as the THAAD (Terminal High Altitude Area Defense) and the ship-based Aegis ballistic missile system. The exercise will likely include the actual launch of interceptors from these systems, The Jerusalem Post reported on Tuesday.
軍事演習代號為瞻博眼鏡蛇，將於2012年年初舉行及將包括箭2和鐵穹導彈系統，以及THAAD（終端高空區域防禦系統）和艦載的宙斯盾彈道導彈系統。演習將有可能包括這些攔截器的實際發射，從這些系統中，耶路撒冷郵報週二報導。
"Juniper Cobra shows us how to defend not only with Israeli assets but also with American assets," Arieh Herzog, head of Israeli Defense Ministry's Homa Missile Defense Agency, said on Monday at the second Annual Israel Multinational Missile Defense Conference near Tel Aviv.
The Israeli Air Force's Air Defense Division, the United States Missile Defense Agency and the US Military's European Command (EUCOM) have held the Juniper Cobra exercise for the past five years. The last Juniper Cobra exercise was held in October 2009.
Last week, Air Force commander in the EUCOM General Mark Welsh visited Israel for talks with Israel Air Force commander Major General Ido Nehushtan, which focused also on the upcoming Juniper Cobra missile exercise.
