German Navy receives BlueWhale submarine, developed by Thyssenkrupp and Israel Aerospace Industries, following Germany’s historic $6.7B procurement of Israeli Arrow 3 missiles - Anadolu Ajansı

The deal marks the rising defense cooperation and strategic investments between Germany and Israel across underwater and air defense systems.

Berlin approved an additional $3.1 billion package for the Israeli Arrow 3 anti-ballistic missile system in Dec. 2025, bringing the total value of Germany’s Arrow 3 procurement to around $6.7 billion, which is the largest defense export deal in Israel’s history, according to the Israeli Defense Ministry.

The Arrow 3 system, developed with US support, plays a key role in Germany’s broader missile defense architecture in Europe.
