"Last week, just before Chancellor Friedrich Merz's inaugural visit to Israel, Germany saw a major step forward in the introduction of the Arrow 3 missile defense system, which was developed jointly by Israel and the US. It is one of the most advanced systems in the world when it comes to defending against intercontinental missiles. In the event of a missile attacking from high altitude, the Arrow 3 is designed to take it out well before it re-enters the Earth's atmosphere."
"This new defense system has now entered its first operational phase. The Bundeswehr, Germany's Armed Forces want to take out long-range and high-altitude missiles as they enter space. This makes Germany the first country outside Israel to integrate the Arrow 3 into its defense system. The introduction of this system is seen as a direct response to Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine and the growing threat posed by modern long-range missiles."
The US government's new strategy paper has increased pressure on NATO countries and added urgency to Germany's defense investments. Germany introduced the Arrow 3 missile defense system, developed jointly by Israel and the US, entering its first operational phase. The system intercepts intercontinental missiles at high altitude before atmospheric re-entry, enabling early warning and protection from long-range ballistic missiles. The Bundeswehr aims to intercept long-range, high-altitude threats as they enter space, making Germany the first country outside Israel to integrate Arrow 3. The deployment responds to Russia's war against Ukraine and supports a multi-layered European air defense amid increased German defense spending since 2022.
