3.5 billion dollar missile agreement between Germany and the Israeli regime.
According to Al Jazeera, Germany has signed a contract to purchase the Arrow 3 hypersonic missile system made by the Israeli regime. The missile is said to become an important part of Europe’s defense against air attacks.
German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius told a news conference alongside his Israeli counterpart, Tel Aviv War Minister Yoav Gallant, that the signing of the agreement on Thursday in Berlin was a historic day for both sides.
This sale deal worth about 3.5 billion dollars (3.3 billion euros) is the biggest deal for the military industry of the Zionist regime.
After the Ukraine war, Germany has made efforts to strengthen NATO’s air defenses in Europe and has asked its allies to buy deterrent systems together.
Gallant, the Minister of War of the Zionist regime, confirmed this missile agreement and said that the signing of this agreement was an important event. “It’s only been 80 years since the end of World War II, but today Israel and Germany are joining hands to build the future,” he said.
The long-range Arrow 3 system, designed to shoot down missiles above the Earth’s atmosphere, will provide a protective cover for EU countries.
The system was developed and produced by the Israeli regime and the United States, and its sale must be approved by Washington before it can be finalized.
This system was deployed for the first time in 2017 at the Israeli Air Force Base and was used to protect the Israeli regime from air attacks.
The money for the deal is said to come from a 100 billion euro ($105 billion) fund that German Chancellor Olaf Schulz created to strengthen Germany’s defense after the Ukraine war.
Also, more than a dozen European countries have signed a cooperation agreement with the joint German air defense project under the name “European Sky Shield Initiative”. This project includes the joint purchase of short, medium, and long-range systems, including the German-made IRIS-T, the American Patriot system, and the Arrow 3.
However, some of Germany’s neighbors, including France and Poland, have so far refused to sign the treaty.
Officials in Paris are emphasizing the use of European equipment instead of air defense systems.
Berlin has said it expects the Arrow 3 system to be delivered in the final quarter of 2025.
