Israel has officially delivered its advanced Arrow 3 missile defense system to Germany, marking a significant milestone in defense cooperation between the two countries. Despite ongoing conflict at home, Israel met its commitment to provide Germany with the €3.5 billion system on schedule, embedding lessons learned from recent missile attacks. The Arrow 3 system, now operational in Germany, is expected to bolster European air defense capabilities and set a new standard for missile protection across the continent. The deal, the largest in Israel's defense industry history, not only strengthens strategic ties but also enhances Israel's own defense readiness through increased production and technological upgrades.
The delivery comes amid complex diplomatic circumstances, including a recent German arms embargo on Israel, which has since been lifted. Both sides emphasize the importance of their alliance, with Israeli officials highlighting the mutual benefits and Germany expressing satisfaction with the system's performance. As interest in advanced missile defense grows worldwide, Israel anticipates further international demand for the Arrow system, though future deals will require approval from the United States, a key partner in the project.
