Zitat:US approves Israel's historic sale of Arrow 3 to Germanyhttps://www.jpost.com/breaking-news/article-755081
The Arrow 3 Missile defense system is designed to intercept exo-atmospheric ballistic missiles.
The United States approved Israel’s sale of its Arrow 3 missile defense system to Germany, with the State Department notifying Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, Defense Ministry Director General Eyal Zamir and Director of the IMOD Directorate of Defense R&D (DDR&D) Dr. Daniel Gold of the Biden administration’s backing.
The Arrow 3 Missile defense system is designed to intercept exo-atmospheric ballistic missiles, making it the long-range missile defense tier of Israel's multi-tier missile defense against Iran, Hezbollah, and others.
The deal is expected to eventually be worth $3.5-4 billion and will include a wide variety of technological infrastructure which Israeli officials said would cover defending all of Germany from missile strikes and not just specific pieces. [...]
The Arrow 3 system is co-developed and co-produced by the Israel Missile Defense Organization (IMDO) and the United States Missile Defense Agency (MDA). The industrial team is led by Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI). " Israel and Germany will now move forward with a Letter of Commitment (LOC) signing ceremony, possibly as early as next week, to mark the deal and the already allocated commitment of $600 million will facilitate the immediate initiation of work on the project.
