Английская Википедия:Barak 1
Barak (Шаблон:Lang-he, lightning) is an Israeli surface-to-air missile (SAM) designed to be used as a ship-borne point-defense missile system against aircraft, anti-ship missiles, and UAVs.
Design
The Barak SAM system is designed to replace or complement gun-based CIWS platforms, such as the Phalanx CIWS, with a more flexible and longer-range SAM. The missiles are mounted in an eight cell container (which requires little maintenance) and are launched straight up. The Barak SAM system's launcher uses a compact vertical launching system, with an 8-cell module weighing Шаблон:Convert. Fire control is provided by an equally compact C3I system that weighs Шаблон:Convert, which can either operate independently or in conjunction with other on-board sensors. Its C3I radar system provides 360-degree coverage and the missiles can take down an incoming missile as close as Шаблон:Convert away from the ship. Each Barak system (missile container, radar, computers and installation) costs about $24 million.
The system is designed to defend against aircraft and anti-ship missiles, including sea-skimming missiles.[1]
Flight test
The missile was tested on 24 March 2017 by the Indian Navy from Шаблон:INS during Operation Readiness Inspection in the Arabian Sea.[2][3][4]

Indian Barak Missile scandal
On 23 October 2000, contracts were signed between the Government of India to procure seven Barak 1 systems for a $199.50 million and 200 missiles for $69.13 million reportedly over the objects of various groups, including A. P. J. Abdul Kalam, the head of the Defence Research and Development Organisation. While some objections were of a procedural nature, Indian Navy chief Admiral Sushil Kumar was investigated for why the objections that the deal was overpriced and processed on a single-tender basis were not considered.[1]
On 24 December 2013, after investigating for more than seven years, the Central Bureau of Investigation closed the case and filed a report in court that it did not find any evidence on the allegations.[8][9][10] A day before, on 23 December, Minister of Defence A. K. Antony approved the procurement of an additional 262 Barak 1 missiles for Шаблон:INRConvert.[6][11]
