**German parliamentary sources have indicated that the the country may be open to purchasing military technology from Israel to protect against a Russian threat.**
Germany is looking at buying an Israeli anti-missile shield system that could also offer protective cover for neighbouring EU states, parliamentary sources said Sunday, as Russia’s invasion prompts Berlin to ramp up its defence.
While the decision has not been finalised, Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s Social Democrats, which lead a three-way coalition, are in favour, said Bild daily.
“We must better protect ourselves against the Russian threat. To do that, we need quickly an anti-missile shield for Germany,” said Andreas Schwarz of the SPD, who sits on the parliamentary budget committee.
“The Israeli Arrow 3 system is a good solution,” he told Bild daily, referring to the long-range missile deterrence weapon.
According to Bild, the system, which costs two billion euros ($2.2 billion), could be operational from 2025.
The corresponding radar system would be installed in three sites in Germany, and their monitoring data then transmitted to a central site where soldiers will be watching for threats 24/7.
If a rocket attack is uncovered, an Arrow 3 would be sent up to intercept the missile in space, destroying it there.
The radar system is so powerful it can provide cover for Poland, Romania and the Baltic nations, said Bild.
“We can put the ‘Iron Dome’ over our neighbouring countries. We would then play a key role for the security of Europe,” said Schwarz.
That title is slightly misleading.
Germany, the country. Not just one German.
Hey cool they made a report about me, the one German who maybe will consider buying a anti missile system
With three batteries arrow 3 can protect eastern and central Germany Poland and the Czech Republic from Russian missile attacks medium range strategic nuclear missiles this is what arrow 3 does it has only one analog the American thaad.
Both systems use the same software arrow is cheaper
Thaad is more mobile.
To cover the German South you will need one or two more batteries.
Of course Israel will be happy to sell arrow to Germany You’re the second most important country for us as far as foreign relations go.
Arrow is fully integrated into nato command Rammstein Air Base has full visibility on Israeli arrow sites right now.
I thought Israel still needs it?
Arrow 3, not Iron Dome. They are very different. Not sure why they sometimes call it “Iron Dome” in the article.
