Germany expands its exoatmospheric missile shield with second Arrow-3 deployment

Germany is expanding its exoatmospheric missile shield with a second Arrow-3 deployment in Bavaria, complementing an existing battery near Berlin. The new site in Kaufbeuren will include radar infrastructure, while launchers will be stationed at Fliegerhorst Lechfeld. The expansion, part of a broader procurement effort with Israel, aims to enhance Germany’s ability to detect and intercept ballistic missiles above 100 kilometers.
