Australia plans to acquire missile interceptors developed for Israel's Iron Dome to establish its own air defense system by the early 2030s. Officials cited changes in warfare observed in Ukraine and the Middle East as a driving factor. Discussions are ongoing regarding the American Patriot missile defense system and interceptors from Rafael Advanced Defense Systems. The Australian government does not supply weapons to Israel, and the defense equipment purchases are politically debated. Military recommendations will be presented to the government next year following a selection process related to a military exercise. Additionally, there has been a significant increase in drone incursions over military bases.
