00:00 Israel defence ministry has confirmed that the United States has finally given the green

00:07 light for Israel to sell the Arrow 3 missile defence system to Germany.

00:12 This $3.3 billion sale will be Israel�s biggest ever defence deal.

00:17 Germany has said that it expects to take delivery of Arrow 3 by the fourth quarter of 2025.

00:23 Berlin is seeking to boost its air defence capabilities as a reaction to Russia�s invasion

00:27 of Ukraine which has ignited security fears throughout Europe.

00:33 The Arrow 3 system has been developed jointly by Israeli and US missile defence agencies.

00:38 It is an exo-atmospheric anti-ballistic missile defence system which means it is designed

00:43 to intercept ballistic missiles outside of the Earth�s atmosphere.

00:47 It provides hypersonic capabilities and can defend a very large area providing comprehensive

00:52 defence of strategic sites and large populated areas.

00:56 It can destroy long-range threats including those carrying weapons of mass destruction

01:00 far away from the targets.

01:02 The missile system uses hit-to-kill technology to destroy incoming missiles.

01:07 The missile is launched vertically and then the direction is changed towards the estimated

01:11 interception point.

01:13 The kill vehicle is launched once the hostile warhead is identified and the target is close

01:17 enough.

01:18 The system features two solid propulsion stages including a booster and a sustainer.

01:23 It provides a range of 2400 km and can intercept threats at an altitude of 100 km.

01:30 Arrow 3 provides high lethality against all types of theatre ballistic missiles and warheads.

01:35 It can be integrated with the AWS battery comprising a ground-based radar and a battle

01:41 management system, launchers and a launch control centre.

01:45 The Arrow 3 interceptor is part of the Arrow Weapons System which is the world�s first

01:49 operational national stand-alone anti-tactical ballistic missile defence system.

01:55 It became operational with the Israeli Air Force in 2017.

01:59 Arrow 3 is a key element of Israel�s multi-layered defence missile array which also includes

02:03 the Arrow 2, David Sling and the Iron Dome active defence systems.

02:08 Based on the uniquely effective Arrow 2 and Arrow 3 interceptors, the Arrow Modular Air

02:13 Defence System detects, tracks, intercepts and destroys incoming TVMs carrying a range

02:19 of warheads and over a large footprint, thereby protecting strategic assets and population

02:24 centres.

02:25 Arrow 3 integrates seamlessly into the Arrow Weapons System, complementing the current

02:30 and future blocks of the Arrow 2 interceptor, thus enabling upper-tier multiple engagement

02:35 opportunities.

02:37 This confirmation marks a major turnaround for Germany after years of under-investment

02:41 in its armed forces and comes amid Russia�s war in Ukraine which has exposed a shortage

02:46 in western nations of ground-based air defence systems to counter missiles and drone attacks.

02:52 Thanks for watching!
