Israel is considering purchasing low-cost cruise missiles: According to reports, Israel is considering a deal worth hundreds of millions of shekels to purchase low-cost cruise missiles from the American-Israeli defense startup Amana Technologies. According to reports, Defense Ministry Director General Amir Baram visited the company last week, as Israel seeks to expand domestic arms production, reduce dependence on foreign suppliers and build a larger stockpile of missiles for long-term conflicts. This move is in line with Prime Minister Netanyahu's "Super Sparta" strategy to increase military reliance. The Alliance Anthem cruise missile is designed for low-cost mass production and offers an alternative to expensive systems such as the American Tomahawk.
