Israel
D)
North Korea

Correct Answer : Option (C) - Israel



Israel on Monday(21st Feb 2022) said it successfully tested a new naval air defence system, intercepting a series of threats in what officials called a key layer of protection against Iran and its proxies in the region.
 
The “C-Dome” system is a naval version of the Iron Dome, which has been used to shoot down rockets fired from the Gaza Strip for the past decade. The C-Dome is being installed on Israel’s latest-generation corvette warships, which protect Israel’s coastline and offshore natural gas assets in the Mediterranean.
 
The tests simulated a number of incoming threats, including rockets, cruise missiles and drones, the Defence Ministry said.
 
Footage shared by the Israeli Ministry of Defence showed a missile taking off from the deck of a Sa’ar-6 corvette naval ship in the Mediterranean and intercepting a missile aimed at it from land..
