Germany to Buy Israeli Spike Missiles for $2.3 Billion
(Globes) Dean Shmuel Elmas - The German Army has decided to procure Spike advanced anti-tank missiles from Israel's Rafael Advanced Defense Systems for 2 billion euros ($2.3 billion). The Spike is manufactured by Eurospike - a joint venture founded in 2004 by Rafael (20%) and German defense giants Rheinmetall and Diehl (40% each). Most of the production is carried out in Europe. A senior defense official said Spike is "becoming NATO's unofficial missile and the most sought-after missile in the world."
