Israeli and German officials this week launched discussions on the potential sale of Israel’s Arrow 3 anti-ballistic missile system to the European nation.

“The advanced negotiations were launched this week in Germany, with the aim of drafting a detailed agreement for the delivery of the Israeli Arrow 3 system to the German Ministry of Defense,” the Israeli Defense Ministry says.

Germany has sought to purchase the Arrow 3 system from Israel for at least a year now.

As the system was co-developed with the United States, the export process to Germany is contingent on the approval of the US.
