Slovakia has received the first Barak MX air and missile defense battery from Israel under a December 2024 contract with Israel Aerospace Industries. The system has been deployed near critical energy infrastructure, likely covering major nuclear facilities. Integration into Slovak military service will continue with Israeli technical support and ongoing troop training. The €560 million agreement includes up to six batteries, all scheduled for delivery by 2030. Barak MX is capable of defeating multiple aerial threats, including ballistic missiles at ranges of up to 150 kilometers.
