Also increasing supports for the military and a storm strike south west germany, causing flooding across from the foot, a cascade of slight cancellations of the countries busy a sab horse and thousands of passengers crowns at the. Im on your campus mccain and welcome to the program. Germany is set to by the advanced arrow, 3 Missile Defense system from israel. Thats following us the approval of the sale. Now is part of the m and efforts to build up the sky shield in response to russias invasion. If you tried develop jointly by israel on the us. The arrow 3 is capable of antiseptic High Altitude Ballistic Missiles and is used in israel, so called on the israel says the system could be delivered to germany by 2025. It would be fully operational by the 20. So i see the 3500000000. 00 deal will be israels biggest ever defense sale. To some more on this we can bring inside the and huffman never such fellows at the university of oslo, his focus is non nuclear, strategic weapons, and ms solve technology. Welcome to dw, thanks for your time. Israel says the arrow 3 is the most advanced system of its kind. Can you tell us more about what arrows . 3 is capable of what, what time and content protect against . Well, error free is a very modern Missile Defense system that was specifically developed to defend against medium and intermediate range frets. So it was the sign in to engage missile targets that have a higher range ceilings and so called short range of elizabeth muscles, the ones that we see being used by russia right now in the ukraine. More the difference is that these higher range Missile Systems they, they have a higher range, a higher altitude ceiling, so they go higher up even outside like the sphere and then come down with the 5 higher speeds and to intercept those types of Missile Systems, you need Missile Defense systems that are specifically designed to defend against new threats and error for you fulfills or is supposed to fulfill that task. Okay, so its a gemini, is player, it wants to strength and its own, and youre up to defense capabilities in the face of the russians. Invasion of ukraine, in your opinion, has been made the right decision with a purchase like this as well. Personally, im, im rather skeptical with regard to the procurement project. I dont see an immediate capability gap that germany or, or nato would phrase in the meat edge or in the middle term future looking at whats nature and europe needs to defend against, with, with higher priorities. I see, but its all targets that are more in the shorter range. So i dont specifically needs a i dont see a need for, for a system like for you to decide to engage these, these higher range targets coming in from medium into media ranges. And i would just like to see berlin to, to better focus on these types of Missile Defense systems in terms of its procurement priorities. Okay, said before, ask you what the alternatives to our 3 would be. What you would suggest that, you know, isnt in argument the arrow 3, and its capable of also protecting other european countries. Light, bolts 6, which are very obviously very aware right now of defending themselves. So it wouldnt not be a, an argument for a system like this. A sure, i mean error free is a very capable of Missile Defense system. And specifically, i would argue, one of the big advantages that it offers is a very, very capable radar system that truly covers basically all of europe. So this certainly certainly is an advantage of cheap assessing this the system. My main issue is that, that we can talk about that and the 2nd that i think that would have been other properties that needed to be our systems that needed to be prototypes and all the threats that are more important to you and gauge right now. Okay, probably, and were almost out of time, but i do want to ask you, so what would the alternative be the end to Something Like this . Yes please. I think weve lost in hoffman that unfortunately so due to audio issues, well have to say we, we see the and im sorry, weve got some audio issues here so im going to have to stop you there. But thank you so much. Anyway, for your insights, bobby and huffman from the university, as also thanks for your time.
