"The emerging decision of the German government to buy Arrow 3 systems for defense against ballistic missiles is of great significance for Israel’s defense companies," a senior source involved in Israeli defense exports told "Globes".
As reported this week, the German government will buy Israel Aerospace Industries’ (IAI) missile defense system for an initial price of some €2 billion. According to the source, this can be expected to lead to additional deals in Europe, in view of the war in Ukraine and Europe’s stance against Russia. Potential purchases include missile defense systems, anti-drone systems, and cybersecurity. At this stage, Israel’s system for defense against short-range rockets, Iron Dome, is not on the agenda, because of opposition from the US administration and in the Israeli defense establishment.
