PRAGUE — The Czech Republic’s defense minister said Wednesday the country’s military has decided to purchase Israeli-made radars for its military.

Martin Stropnicky said the army will pay 2.9 billion koruna ($114 million) for a total of eight ELM 2084 MMR radars made by the Israeli state-run IAI Elta company. The radars are used in the Israeli Iron Dome rocket defense system.

They will be delivered in 2019-2021 and will replace obsolete Soviet-made radars.

Stropnicky said Wednesday they will help guard the country’s airspace in the altitude from 100 meters to 3,000 meters (330 to 10,000 feet).

It's too bad that IAI is still a government owned company, it could highly benefit the Israeli stock market having it private owned just like what IWI ("Magen" of IMI) have became.

The David's Sling seems to be a potent complement to the Aster-30, PAC-3, or the S-300VM. A shipborne variant is probably also under development.

Israel already equip it's Warships with Barak 8, which is the successor of Barak 1, and Naval Iron Dome, also called C-Dome, for lower cost interceptions.
MF-STAR radar by Elta, and command control system to control the interceptions
