Germany Gets Approval to Purchase Israel's Arrow-3 Missile Defense System
(Jerusalem Post) Anna Ahronheim - Germany has received approval from Israel and the U.S. to purchase the long-range Arrow-3 missile defense system, the Jerusalem Post has learned. Should Germany buy the system, it would mark the first time that the Arrow 3 has been sold to another country. "We must all prepare ourselves for the fact that we have a neighbor that is currently prepared to use force to assert its interests," Chancellor Olaf Scholz told German television last week. The German newspaper Bild am Sonntag said the procurement of the system, which is still under development, will cost at least two billion euros and would be operational by 2025. The Arrow-3 development program is co-managed by Israel and the U.S.
