"Germany has officially inaugurated the initial components of its advanced Arrow 3 missile defence system, acquired from Israel. The strategic move aims to bolster the nation's aerial protection following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. This sophisticated system, engineered to intercept long-range ballistic missiles, saw its first operational elements unveiled on Wednesday at the Schonewalde base, south of Berlin. Further installations are planned across the country."
"Defence Minister Boris Pistorius underscored the significance of the acquisition, stating that "with the new system, Germany is for the first time obtaining early-warning and protection capability against long-range ballistic missiles." With this strategic capability, which is unique among our European partners, we are securing our central role at the heart of Europe, Pistorius said in a statement. So we are protecting not just ourselves but also our partners."
