#Israel says #Arrow-3 missile-killer sale to #Germany approved by U.S.

The United States approved a $3.5 billion sale of Israel's Arrow-3 missile defence system to Germany on Thursday, clearing the way for delivery in 2025 and full operational deployment by 2030, Israeli officials said.

The U.S. is a partner in the Arrow project, which was developed jointly by the Israel Missile Defence Organisation and the United States Missile Defense Agency.

The Germany deal, which would be Israel's biggest ever defence sale, follows a European arms build-up in response to #Russia's war in #Ukraine.
