JERUSALEM (Reuters) – Israel is in advanced negotiations with Germany to sell its Arrow-3 missile defense system, Israel’s Defense Ministry said on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Germany has ramped up its military spending – a decision prompted by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The Arrow-3 is designed to intercept ballistic missiles outside of the earth\u2019s atmosphere.<\/p>\n

It is the top layer of Israel’s missile defense array, which extends from Iron Dome that intercepts short-range rockets to Arrow-3’s long-range missiles that destroy any non-conventional warheads at a safe altitude.<\/p>\n

Talks with the German defense ministry have been accelerated and the aim is to export the system in the near future, said Israel’s Defense Ministry.<\/p>\n

The project has U.S. backing so the sale would require approval from Washington, the ministry said.<\/p>\n

State-owned Israel Aerospace Industries is the project’s main contractor and Boeing is involved in producing the interceptors.<\/p>\n
