Germany looking at Arrow 3 for its ballistic missile defense needs

According to Germany’s Bild am Sonntag newspaper, Berlin is looking at the possibility of acquiring the IAI Arrow 3 exoatmospheric anti-ballistic missile system to defend the country from potential ballistic missile attacks from Russia.


The discussions took place when chief of defense, Gen. Eberhard Zorn, spoke to Chancellor Olaf Scholz last week.

Bild am Sonntag says the system will costs $2.2 billion and three Green Pine radars will provide all-round coverage. The radar coverage is wide enough that neighboring countries such as Poland will need only to buy Arrow 3 interceptors and Germany’s radars can supply the necessary targeting information.

The Arrow 3 system could be operational as early as 2025.
