Israeli Defense Delegation Goes to Germany to Deliver First Operational ‘Arrow 3’ Anti-Missile System

Jerusalem, 1 December, 2025 (TPS-IL) — An Israeli delegation led by the Director General of the Ministry of Defense, Maj. Gen. (res.) Amir Baram, departed today (Monday) for Germany and will participate in the ceremony for the delivery to the German Air Force of its first operationally capable “Arrow 3” anti-missile system, which is manufactured by Israel Aerospace Industries.

This is the delivery of the first operational system as part of the deal signed with the German government about two years ago and is considered the largest defense export deal in the history of the State of Israel, explained the Ministry of Defense.

The Arrow 3 interceptor is part of the Arrow Weapon System (AWS) which is the world’s first operational, national, stand-alone ATBM (Anti Tactical Ballistic Missiles) defense system. Based on the uniquely effective Arrow 2 and Arrow 3 interceptors, the Arrow modular air defense systems detect, tracks, intercepts and destroys incoming TBMs carrying a range of warheads and over a large footprint, thereby protecting strategic assets and population centers.
