Poland demanded the Israeli interceptor missile, developed with U.S. firm Raytheon, because of its better performance compared to the American Patriot interceptor and its considerably lower price - only $450,000 compared to $4.5 million. Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, the Israeli company that developed David's Sling, is expected to make $1 billion from this deal. According to foreign reports, the Polish Defense Ministry is also in talks with Israel Aerospace Industries on the purchase of two Ofek intelligence satellites.
