The deal marks the rising defense cooperation and strategic investments between Germany and Israel across underwater and air defense systems.

Berlin approved an additional $3.1 billion package for the Israeli Arrow 3 anti-ballistic missile system in Dec. 2025, bringing the total value of Germany’s Arrow 3 procurement to around $6.7 billion, which is the largest defense export deal in Israel’s history, according to the Israeli Defense Ministry.

The Arrow 3 system, developed with US support, plays a key role in Germany’s broader missile defense architecture in Europe.

It’s a win-win for Germany. Arabs and Jews can both kill each other, in time for the new Reich to rise.

If anyone has anyone’s balls, it’s the US owning Israels. Virtually all military support for and imports to Israel are coming from the US. This is the one and only reason Trump could snap his fingers and Netanyahu had to bow, even when (parts of) his government strongly opposed.

That state exists because the US want it to.
