Tel Aviv: The delivery of the Israeli Arrow 3 ballistic missiles interceptor to Germany will begin next year.
The Israel Ministry of Defence (IMOD) and the German Federal Ministry of Defence have begun coordinating joint preparations for the initial deployment of the Israeli Arrow 3 system on German soil in 2025.
The professional meeting was held at Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), led by the Israel Missile Defence Organisation (IMDO) at the Directorate of Defence Research & Development (DDR&D) of the IMOD. The meeting included two days of discussions with participation from Israeli defence industries, including IAI, Elbit Systems, and MBDA Deutschland GmbH.
The Arrow system, which includes the Arrow 2 and Arrow 3 interceptors, was developed in cooperation between Israel and the USA to counter long-range ballistic missile threats, with IAI as the prime contractor.
The system proved effective against Iranian missile attacks on April 14, 2024, and October 1, 2024. Arrow is considered one of the world’s most advanced defence systems, utilising cutting-edge technologies.
The IMDO at the DDR&D continues to lead the development and production of Israel’s aerial defence layers while strengthening ties and cooperation with international partners in missile defence and supporting Israeli defence industries.
