Israel has begun delivering the Arrow-3 long-range air defense system to the German military as part of a €4 billion contract. This deal represents the largest arms export sale in Israel’s history, underscoring its expanding defense industry and international partnerships.
The Arrow-3 system is designed to intercept advanced ballistic missiles and enhance missile defense capabilities. The delivery of these systems to Germany marks a significant milestone, as it will be the first time the Arrow-3 is operated outside of Israel and the United States.
The agreement reflects broader cooperation between Israel and Germany in defense and security matters. Both nations aim to bolster missile defense and ensure regional stability amid evolving security threats.
Officials from both countries have highlighted the strategic importance of this sale, noting that it strengthens bilateral ties and advances technological collaboration. The delivery of the Arrow-3 systems is expected to enhance Germany’s defense posture and contribute to broader transatlantic security efforts.
