As Russia's Shadow Grows, Europe Is Increasingly Turning to Israeli Defense Tech
(JNS) Yaakov Lappin - As the Russia-Ukraine war enters its second year, European states are scrambling to modernize their armed forces and air defenses. That, in turn, has translated into growing acquisitions of Israeli defense technology. In Ukraine, the government is planning to soon test an Israeli-made early warning system for civilians. Germany is keen on acquiring Israel's Arrow 3 air-defense system capable of intercepting ballistic missiles above the Earth's atmosphere, to protect itself against Russian missile threats. The Finnish Defense Ministry has decided to purchase the Israeli-made David's Sling air-defense system - its first international sale. David's Sling is designed to intercept ballistic missiles, aircraft, unmanned aerial vehicles and cruise missiles.
