the, the, this is the w news lies from violin. germany propose to buy an advanced missile defense system. the us improve israel, sale of arrow 3 into set to is to shoot down high altitude missiles. is germany 6 to build a sky field in response to a rush of attack on ukraine. also coming up on the program, a crash cost in tank wafaa with but in sending school, is it more than the length of time to ukraine? dw, get to look inside the training grounds, where you crate in soldiers that being towards how to operate them. and west

african leaders, me to get to consider a military intervention in new jersey to those sections all hosting the economy that will start increasing supports for the military for the test itself. a storm strikes southwest, germany causing flooding across french, but a cascade of flight calculation. is what the countries busy is to add port thousands of passages transit the money keeps in the kitchen. welcome to the program. gemini is set to buy the advanced our 3 missile defense system from israel. that's improving overall, the following us approval of the sale as positive german assets to build up a sky shield in response to russia's invasion. if you price develop jointly by israel on the us, the arrow 3 is capable of interest set to on high altitude ballistic missiles. and

is used in israel, so called and israel says the system could be delivered to germany by 2025 and would be fully operational by the 20. so see a $3500000000.00 deal will be as rails biggest ever defense sale. and we can get more on this from dw correspondence. rebecca versus inducer, jerusalem, and simon young is here in the land. i'm going to start with you simon. can you tell us more about this deal? yeah, this deal had to be given the green light by the united states government. that's because this i wrote 3 system was jointly developed by israel and the us together. so that is now happened. the steel can go ahead. an arrow 3 is a very, a modem missile defense system designed to deal with an intermediate 10 medium range of threats. so those a ballistic missiles that fly very high up to

a 100 kilometers above the do you need a special type of missile defense shield to deal with that kind of threat. and so germany's acquisition of the system could, i think, make a, make a significant difference to the strategic balance in your okay, and let's talk about reactions to this. how are germany's european partners and i let lies likely to react to this purchase or well, one part of arrow 3 easy. it's a long range radar system. and that means that, you know, the system can, at the station in germany can cover a large part of european territory. could defend allies like the baltic states like poland, like remain here. so i think those allies are likely to look on this with favor others. i think will be more skeptical in particular frauds. we've had the

president macro on saying that he favors the idea of a european defense sovereignty. in other words, he would like money to be spent where it is spent and systems to be bought from european defense manufacturers at rather than 4 and one's. and so he may speak up against this. i think others may ask why the system is needed and some a worry that this might provoke russia even more than that, then there's already the case. so i'm sure that will be uh, debate about the wisdom of this purchase. okay, rebecca of why can i ask you to talk us through? why is royal needed us approval before the steel could go through? well on you, that's standard operating procedure in these procurement deals. as you mentioned in your late in this arrow 3 system was jointly developed by the us and israel, and therefore both countries needed to okay, any further sales?

uh that now has happened to me. it is very similar to other scenarios. look, for example, if germany, for instance, wanted to sell, it's trying to read stuff pile of a particular weapon to ukraine or to donate that perhaps, but say that that weapon had be developed twice a potty country. then germany would need approval from that 3rd party country in order to be able to do that. so it is a standard operating procedure as i say, but without the us support this deal would not be going through. okay. yeah. and what see, is there any government saying about the do? well, this is a very welcome to deal and is relative, been waiting for this moment the, the defense minutes. do you have go, i'm calling it an expression of confidence in is ralph defense industries? now, there are a couple of reasons. not only is this the country's biggest deal, but it's also so historically significant and you'll have gland going out to point out that is particularly meaningful. and i quote to every jewish person that germany is acquiring is ready defense capabilities. and that was something that was

echoed as well by the is uh, is ready and best to, to build in wrong process as so the historical implications and, you know, meaningful people here in is around is pretty high. but there are 2 reasons why the timing of this deal is significant of this government in particular. now this deal has been going on since before the current government, there's been talks about it going on since the beginning of the war or thereabouts in ukraine. but the timing is important for 2 reasons. specifically, israel us relations and the economy here in israel bows has been effected by the judicial as a whole. that's planned by this government at this fall, right. government, i should say, here in israel was a nationwide protest since the beginning of the year and the americans normally staunch allies with israel has been saying, but they don't happy that it has put a strain on that relationship as have all the policies that this fall right, government of trying to implement, particularly when it comes to settlement expansion in the occupied west bank. so

the relationship has been striving. this certainly is going to be the same as a step in the right direction for the x rays. who are going to be harold, in this as a shop, a show, a strength of that relationship between israel and the us and something that they're going to promote those in israel and try to get the message out to israel's adversary's, especially iran and the nice of that so that's really important. the image of the cost is the economy. since the, this elizabeth, since the judicial or the whole has been happening all these protests, the economy here in israel has become rather unstable. and of course, these $3500000.00 deal is going to be something that the government, hey, will be quick about rebecca. thank so much. that's rebecca versus reporting from jerusalem and simon young here in bell. and thanks to you guys, ukraine says that it has re taken the village of yours, young, you in the don't yet region as part of the counter offensive to reclaim tired tre

occupied by russia. keep has made slight progress since the count for offense began 2 months ago. a shell is loaded into an american how it's a cannon. this is the front line of ukraine's counter offensive. since june, the army has been pushing back from active positions that extend more than 1200 kilometers. and despite the supply of weapons from the west, they're only making limited progress with limited power and its forces stretched thin. but even small advances could turn out to be technically significant. this week ukrainian troops on the south eastern front claimed to have retaken the small village of a rush. china, located within a 150 kilometers of the ports of russia occupied mary, you pull and buddy on ski, and if you crate and where to take those cities, the land bridge that connects crimea to russia through occupied ukraine would be

broken. but getting through heavily fortified russian lines won't be easy. they'll need to cross open fields, which are extensively mind, where they also run the risk of attacks from the f and russian troops behind the tree line. and if they make it that fall next, they'll face and elaborate. mays of trenches and metal, and concrete and deep tank defenses, known as dragons teeth. still small advances by either side will reduce the capabilities of the other. russia recently intensified separation in the northeast, drawing ukrainian forces away from most strategic areas in the southeast. now ukraine is making gains on that front forcing most goes military to redeploy. but the to and fro cannot continue in its current form for long as autumn and modest season fast approaches. when oil tanks will be stopped in the tracts until spring

has got more from military analysts. marina moran. he joins us now from kings. college london, lorina good to see you were hearing about these gains for ukraine in the don't yet region. how would you say that the counter offensive is going right now a good evening? i know it well um, it is going very slowly and certainly it's not as it has been expected because of all the difficulties the ukrainian armed forces are facing. now they have managed to take and infringe themselves in the village of what we're trying in, which is important. they're in a tactical sense and it remains to be seen whether they can develop that success and push south to toward c o c. so that, that would be the, the idea of kind of the cut, the russian forces in, into however, we're also seeing some limited successes, another direction such as the wrong box moved. but we're also seeing

a lot of activity in, in the black sea where the ukrainian drove a challenging the black sea fleet. so there are small successes in different locations. but overall, the progress is not as fast as desire is given a number of factors such as the lack of air power. and the good defense is that the russians manage to build. so it will be difficult for the ukrainians to use this window of opportunity to get a big breakthrough before the month. season starts. i was just about to ask you, we're heading into awesome. that's going to bring more difficult, mu, multi terrain. will this be one of the biggest challenges for ukraine going forward? yes, most likely it will be because this for us both. it's a um, as a they call it will make it difficult on the ukrainians will say it's a face to essentially the same problems as the russians did as

a beginning of the invasion when their tanks got stuck in month, the tang said the ukranian forces have now the leopards and the challenger is they are some $70.00 to $75.00 pounds in weight, meaning that it will be very difficult to use them as cross country vehicles. so they, they will have to rely on the roads. and that will make offensive operations much more difficult for the ukrainians. and also if they get stuck in mud, each type of tank will need the different equipment to get it out of that mode. so we might be seeing as kind of a slow down of operations during this time until um the, the smart freezes and then it will be easier for the bringing on forces that to move forward. and what's the bottom of that say support from the west? i mean, is there a sense of pressure because the offensive is not progressing as,

as well, or as faust as was originally hoped. i think that the western allies have set somewhat unrealistic expectations, creating a sort of a causal relationship between investment in terms of military equipment and training and automatically leading to success on the battlefield. and i think that that was the big, the biggest cabby at that we're facing right now because military operations never unfold according to the plan. and this is a bast example. and the ukraine armed forces found themselves under a lot of political pressure. because now that the west has invested all this equipment and money into ukraine, they wanted to see some results. so some sort of return for their investment. and now, given the political situation, given the, the m g, a strategic situation in the world with us or potential hot spots. um, it remains to be seen how much of the support ukraine will be seeing,

as well as the fact that young fulton, burke said last october, as, as nathan needed to replenish its own stockpiles, which will take years. so slowly, the western countries are running out of resources to supply to ukraine, or at least what is permissible. this is why you create has received glass for munitions from the united states. so that is a reason for worry not just because it was a political situation, but also because of the availability and the long waiting list for production of specific equipment. and that 1st will affect affect the situation on the battlefield for the green armed forces. marina moran from kings college london. thank you so much for your analysis. thank you for having me to now in february 70 pledge to start sending battle tanks to help you trade in forces retakes, hair a treat from russia. and since then schools of left had one and 2 times have been

sent. and with those times that exhaustive your wide program to teach ukrainian soldiers how to use them. so for 6000 ukrainians have been trained and the w was given rare access to one of those training exercises just a couple of hours from bell. and it's a crash course in loading fighting tanks around a 1000 battle hot and ukrainian soldiers of being put to the test. and these gym and bill black with one tanks, the targets, downtown military hardware in the hillside. these exercise is designed to simulate a counter attack. the hope here is that these tanks will give them the head like in the school was brought out of the western equipment is different from our old equipment. and you see that in the quality except behind in other areas, you can really feel that you'll see it's not just operational training,

the soldiers that shown how to look after that tanks in the midst of all this 32 year old father was working as an electrician when rush are invited, not anymore. the cream of the moody lake. right. and we will the right to our country over the head, making a future, a good one. the russians should not attack city. so the sea and you're going to go to germany. aims to train $10000.00 soldiers by the end of the year, positive away to european effort to support to ukraine as invested. okay, in front of understand what i'd like to point out is the unbelievably impressive motivation and the willingness and passion that the ukrainian soldiers who are being trained face is always highly inspiring and motivating for the train is to off before the whole cottage is bulio. and one or more to the end of the hospital. the soldiers here have the 6th and final week of training ahead of them. then it's back home to the real thing. let's take a look now,
