be israel's biggest ever defense sale is fabia and huffman. as a research fellow at the university of also whose focus has non nuclear strategic weapons and missiles technology. i asked him to tell us more about the capability, the arrow, 3 missile system error free is a very modern missile defense system that was specifically develop to defend against medium and intermediate range for us. so it was designed to engage missile targets that have a higher range ceiling than so called short range ballistic missiles. the ones that we see being used by russia right now in the ukraine. more the difference is that these higher range missile systems they, they have a higher range, a higher altitude ceiling, so they go higher up even outside like the sphere and then come down with the 5

higher speeds and to intercept those types of missile systems, you need missile defense systems that are specifically designed to defend against new threats and error for you, fulfilled score is supposed to fulfill that task. okay, so it's a gemini, is player, it wants to strength and its own. and europe's defense capabilities in the face of the russians. invasion of ukraine. um, in your opinion, has been made the right decision with a purchase like this as well. personally, i'm, i'm rather skeptical with regard to the procurement project. i don't see an immediate capability get that germany or, or nature of what phase in the needs and already the middle term future looking at what's nature and europe needs to defend against with, with higher priorities. i see, but it's all targets that are more in the shorter range. so i don't specifically

needs a i don't see a need for, for a system like for you to decide to engage these, these higher range targets coming in from medium into media ranges. and i would have liked to see berlin to, to better focus on these types of missile defense systems in terms of its procurement priorities. probably and hoffman from the university of us. nice speaking to us of the, of the. now in february, germany pledge to start sending baffled times to help you crazy. and it forces retakes harris street from russia. since then schools of left had one and 2 tanks have been sent with those tanks and exhaustive your wide program to teach ukrainian soldiers how to use them. so fall 6000 ukrainians have been trained and dw was given rare access to one of those training exercises. just a couple of hours from biling it's a crash course,
