Israeli officials stated that U.S. approval has paved the way for the delivery of this system to Germany in 2025 and its full operational deployment by 2030. The U.S. is a partner in the 'Arrow' project. This system has been jointly produced by the Israeli Missile Defense Organization and the U.S. Missile Defense Agency. This contract with Germany will be the largest defense sale by Israel to date. Europe is strengthening its military capabilities in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The Arrow-3 system is designed to intercept ballistic missiles outside the Earth's atmosphere using a detachable warhead that targets the incoming threat. Intercepting missiles at this altitude also allows for the safe destruction of any unconventional warheads.
