The German authorities are negotiating the acquisition of Israel's air defense systems. This circumstance gives the Israeli military-industrial companies hope for a breakthrough in the European market for military technology. However, Israel is closely monitoring and how to respond to sales of Israeli weapons in Europe, the United States.
It is no secret that one of the objectives of the United States is to provide maximum exposure for their defense products on the European market. Since European countries is a reliable and rich buyers of weapons. But Israel wants to put on the external market its military products. During a meeting with German Chancellor Olaf Holzem Prime Minister of Israel, Yair Lapid said that Israel will take part in the construction of the new defence forces of Germany, and in the direction of the defense.
We are talking about the acquisition of the Berlin air defense system of the Arrow-3 (Israeli name - Arrow-3). In Israel it is called a very advanced and modern system capable of solving many problems of buyers in the field of defense. If the sale of Israel's air defense system to Germany to take place, it will be the first ever example of the export Arrow to another country.

Because Germany plays a key role in continental Europe in economic terms, and the background of the Ukrainian conflict and is willing to increase its military potential, the success of the transaction will mean that Israel will become a very interesting buyer for the products of its military industry. In addition, the example of Germany can inspire other European countries for the purchase of Israeli weapons and other military systems.
Recall that a set of Arrow-3 (Arrow 3) is designed to protect against ballistic missiles. It is manufactured by Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) with the financial support and technical consultation USA. Therefore, the United States has veto power on the export system, created with the participation of American capital. However, many experts believe that Washington has given its tacit consent to a deal, since Berlin and Jerusalem already agree with each other. It is clear: the United States needs now and in Germany, and Israel against the background of confrontation with Russia, and to quarrel with them because some of the air defense system with no hands.
Meanwhile, Israeli sources reported that a number of European countries are already negotiating with the Israeli defense Ministry and the largest defense companies regarding the possibility of purchasing air defense systems. These systems, according to Europe must increase the defense of European States from the Russian missiles.
It is likely that we are talking about Poland, Romania and some of the Scandinavian countries as potential buyers of Israeli anti-aircraft weapons. It is known that currently the only air defense system of the Israeli production is located in Czech Republic. Prague in 2012 I decided to buy four batteries of SAM Rafael Spyder production in 2012, and bought a radar production IAI. The purchase of Israeli systems considering and Romania. Outside Europe, the interest in the Israeli weapons are large buyers of weapons as India and South Korea.
The only European States is unlikely to buy Israeli weapons at the moment is Ukraine. She had previously been denied the supply of Israeli arms, which is very offended Kiev.
