Germany stands against the Russian threat of the advanced Arrow 3 missile

which represents a qualitative leap in their defense capabilities.

The German Air Force stated that Inspector General Carsten Breuer

and Air Force Inspector Lieutenant General Holger Neumann will make an announcement on December 3rd.

This is at the Holzdorf Air Base in the Schönewalde region, regarding the start of the system’s initial operational capability.

Closing a critical gap in air defense

The acquisition of the system, which is Israeli-made,

is a direct response by Germany to the growing security threat posed by Russia in the region.

For the first time, the Arrow 3 system will give Germany the ability to detect

and intercept ballistic missiles coming from outside the Earth’s atmosphere.

It also destroys missiles at altitudes exceeding 100 kilometers,

thus enabling the neutralization of threats in the upper

layers of the atmosphere and in near space.

This new capability is intended to fill a crucial gap

in the German and European missile defense system.

Holzdorf base… the first publishing site

The Holzdorf base, located south of Berlin near the borders

of the states of Brandenburg, Saxony-Anhalt and Saxony,

It is the first of three sites planned for the deployment of the Arrow 3 system in Germany.

This huge investment comes as part of a broader initiative launched

by the German government called the “European Sky Shield Initiative”.

It is a multinational effort aimed at developing an integrated

continental missile defense network, in response to Russia’s war in Ukraine.
