Israel is set to complete<\/a><\/span> the delivery of the Arrow 3 anti-ballistic missile defense system to Germany today (December 3), marking the first time another country will have independent access to this high-level military technology.<\/p>\n

The contract between the Israeli and German governments was signed just over two years ago and constitutes Israel’s largest defense export deal to date.<\/p>\n

According to the German defense ministry at the time, the deal was valued at 3.6 billion euros ($4.2 billion), including launch systems, ammunition, and radar.<\/p>\n

The Arrow 3 was one of Germany’s first major procurement contracts following the war in Ukraine, which prompted governments across Europe to reassess their defense capabilities.<\/p>\n

For Israel, the system has been a key component in its efforts to repel missile attacks from Iran and Yemen during the 12-day war.<\/p>\n

Jointly produced by Israel and the US, the Arrow 3 system will be deployed at Holzdorf Air Base, approximately 120 kilometers south of Berlin, with additional bases to be established in the country’s northwest and south.<\/p>\n

Boaz Levy, CEO of the state-owned company Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), said in an interview, “The system was delivered to Germany on time in recent months, ahead of on-site training for German Air Force officials, despite the challenges posed by the war.”<\/p>\n

IAI is the main contractor for the development of the Arrow 3, with Rafael Advanced Defense Systems and Tomer taking on smaller roles.<\/p>\n

Levy, referring to the multi-front conflict stemming from the Al-Aqsa Flood operation and the subsequent war in Gaza, said, “We have incorporated all the lessons learned from the conflict over the past two years into the German Arrow system.”<\/p>\n

The Israeli Ministry of Defense announced that the Arrow 3 had an interception rate of 86% during the conflict with Iran.<\/p>\n

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz will travel to Israel over the weekend to meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. This will be the first official visit by a European leader to Israel in recent months.<\/p>\n

IAI CEO Levy stated, “Israel-Germany relations have a deep-rooted history, but disagreements do occur from time to time, even among allies. I believe there will be more agreements and cooperation in the future.”<\/p>\n

Levy said that the German government has also shown interest in the Arrow 4, which is planned to become operational “very soon.”<\/p>\n
