Spain To Buy Israeli Missiles Spain plans to buy 2,600 ground-to-ground missiles from Israeli firm Rafael in a deal worth 250 million euros ($300 million), El Mundo newspaper reported Feb. 20, although ministers did not confirm the story. Rafael was facing competition from a U.S. consortium of Lockheed Martin and Raytheon and Europe’s MBDA, according to El Mundo, which said the Spanish Defense Ministry had informed the latter two camps that the Israelis had received the nod. “The choice of Rafael is a new reverse for the European defense industry which will complicate, according to MBDA, the Spanish army’s interoperational possibilities with the French and German armies in future European combat missions,” said El Mundo, a conservative daily. The paper quoted military sources as saying the Israeli Spike missile, which can be fired from a distance of four kilometers (2.5 miles) from the target and can be controlled in flight, fulfilled the technical criteria Spain was looking for to a greater degree than those of the rival bidders. apparament les spike ce vendent plus que bien :D
