Israeli 707 tests commercial anti-missile system


Israel's air force has used a Boeing 707-300 to trial a missile-defence system intended for deployment on board commercial aircraft.

The aircraft, which carries air force designation 272, is close to 40 years old and was previously in service with operators including British Caledonian.

Israeli firm Elbit Systems has used the four-engined jet to conduct a series of test flights with its C-Music infra-red countermeasures system.
