Pripadnici rezervnog sastava izraelskih oružanih snaga, po VESti poslužioci PAR Arrow i Patriot, pozivaju se u rezervni sastav na uvežbavanje, i to jednom sedmično...
Cela vestAir Force reservists who operate the Arrow and Patriot missile defense systems have recently begun spending one day a week on duty to sharpen their skills, amid fears that in a conflict with Iran, dozens of long-range missiles would be fired at Israel, The Jerusalem Post has learned.
The decision to call up operators of the Arrow and Patriot systems was made last year by head of the IAF's Air Defense Division Brig.-Gen. Daniel Milo.
Until then, only pilots were called up for one day of reserve duty a week following their discharge from mandatory service.
"We are working hard to be ready for the Iranian threat," a top IAF officer said. "We are preparing for barrages, split warheads and other surprises and therefore we need to retain a high operational level by everyone, including reservists."
