Arrow 3: Germany’s Space-Based Missile Defense DebutArrow 3 can intercept missiles above 100 km, making Germany unique in Europe, but lacks an immediate threat to counter.
- Germany has commissioned the advanced Arrow 3 missile defense system in the Annaburger Heide, capable of intercepting medium-range ballistic missiles in space.
- Operating above 100 kilometers, it provides continuous protection for German territory against missile attacks originating outside the Earth’s atmosphere.
- Currently, no direct threat exists since Russian missiles typically remain within the atmosphere and are not designed for orbital attacks.
- Experts suggest shifting defense focus to deterrence through counterattack because systems like Arrow 3 cannot fully cover the volume of Russian missile threats.
The production capabilities of the Kremlin for missiles and cruise missiles exceed what Europe can provide in defense weapons.— Fabian Hoffmann, security expert from the University of Oslo, discusses the challenges of European defense.
