Germany, Zionists Sign ‘Historic’ $3.5bn Missile Shield Deal

BWERLIN (KI) - Germany has signed a deal to acquire the Israeli-made Arrow 3 hypersonic missile system that will become a key part of Europe’s defense against air attack.

The signing of the deal in Berlin on Thursday was a “historic day” for both countries, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said at a news conference alongside his Zionist counterpart Yoav Gallant.
Worth about $3.5bn (3.3 billion euros), the sale is the biggest ever deal for Israel’s military industry.
The Arrow 3 system would make “German air defense ready for the future”, Pistorius said.
Germany has led a push to bolster NATO’s air defenses in Europe after Russia, Ukraine war last year, urging allies to buy deterrence systems together.
“Only 80 years since the end of the second world war yet Israel and Germany join hands today in building a safer future,” he said.
The money for the deal comes from a landmark 100-billion-euro ($105bn) fund unveiled by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz to bolster the country’s defenses.
More than a dozen European countries have so far signed up to Germany’s common air defense project, the European Sky Shield Initiative.
The Sky Shield project would involve joint procurement for short-, medium- and long-range systems, including the German-made IRIS-T, the American Patriot system and Arrow 3.
