Germany has agreed to purchase the "Arrow 3" missile defense system from Israel for $3.6 billion. This will significantly strengthen the country's air defense capabilities and will be a major achievement for Israel's defense industry.
Redaksiya reports, citing JPost, that this agreement will ensure the "Arrow 3" system is deployed outside of Israel for the first time. At the same time, it marks the end of Germany's temporary ban on arms sales to Israel. This step further solidifies Germany's commitment to security and its strategic relationship with Israel.
The "Arrow 3" system is capable of intercepting targets outside the atmosphere and is designed to destroy ballistic missiles, including long-range ones. This system will be a critical tool for protecting Germany's airspace against potential threats. The value of the agreement is $3.6 billion, which is a significant investment in Germany's defense budget. The acquisition of this system will not only enhance Germany's defense capabilities but also contribute to NATO's collective defense.
This agreement is also a major success for Israel's defense industry. The export of the "Arrow 3" system increases the global recognition and demand for Israel's defense technologies. This will also have a positive impact on the development of Israel's defense industry and the creation of new jobs. The details of the agreement are still being discussed, but it is expected that the delivery and commissioning of the system will take several years. During this period, close cooperation between Germany and Israel will continue.
