It is my understanding that American taxpayers are funding,  
to the tune of $65.2 million per year, an Israeli  
development called the Arrow.  It is my further  
understanding that this weapon will have capabilities that  
the U S doesn't possess, i.e. shooting down ballistic  
missles. 
 
A number of questions come to mind: 
 
1.   Is the above true? 
 
2.   Does this not violate the ABM Treaty? 
 
3.   Why would we not develop such an advanced weapon 
     ourselves particularly in light of the fact that we are 
     paying for it? 
 
4.   Does the USSR have such a system? 
 
 
   .......Please, only technical info to sci.military......
