FOX News/SKY News: US brokering talks for Gulf states to buy Israeli anti-missile system as Iran defense
Bahrain and other Persian Gulf states are in negotiations to buy the Israeli-developed Iron Dome anti-missile system to defend against "a growing arsenal of Iranian missiles".
The Israeli weapon, which has reduced the effectiveness of rockets fired out of Gaza into Israel by about 90% would be bought through Raytheon and other American contractors who developed the Iron Dome with Israeli arms giant Rafael.
A deal for the entire Gulf Cooperation Council, which includes Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Qatar and Kuwait, would be worth tens, perhaps hundreds, of billions of dollars.

The war industry must be having an orgasm at the very thought.
This system is soon to be obsolete with lasers. Better sell it while you can.
The targeting system is worth a lot, but that can be made from the ground up if a country has enough engineers to throw at the problem.
What is really needed is a strong economy.
Like the Chinese said "Strong economy; strong defense" or something lie that.
If you have a strong enough economy, you will have enough scientists and engineers.
Why not?
If Israel is trading information with Russia about Syrian opposition groups this is more of the same.
You pay for having a boy king.
