Germany and Israel together modernize the anti-missile defense of the Federal Republic of Germany

18

The German company Hensoldt announced that it had won a tender for the supply of new radars to the country's military. Concern Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) is also involved in modernizing Germany's missile defense.

Seth Franzman writes about this in an article published by the American magazine Defense News.



Following the June deal with IAI subsidiary Elta Systems for the delivery of 69 mobile radars to the German Ground Forces, another contract was awarded for 200 million euros. Both agreements were signed with the Bundeswehr Federal Office for Equipment, Information Technology and Technical Support.

The second was concluded for the supply of four long-range radars as part of the Hughes Air Defense Radar Nachfolgesystem program, and it provides for the participation of Hensoldt in the project.

Thus, Germany and Israel are together modernizing the anti-missile defense of the Federal Republic of Germany.

According to Amir Dan, head of marketing for naval radars at Elta, they have worked with Hensoldt in the past to equip submarines, but this is the first time they are working together on radars. He noted that the partnership with the German company makes it easier for Elta to enter European markets.

These two manufacturers signed a strategic cooperation agreement in December last year. The parties agreed on the joint production of ballistic missile defense equipment, as well as airspace and space surveillance systems.

    I don’t know how anyone, but I really respect both German and Israeli technology. Their armament cannot be underestimated.

      That's for sure. Sometimes they even take envy. Only one moment is not clear ... Why is there an article about German missile defense, and on the splash screen is the Israeli anti-ship Gabriel ???

        Because this is not exactly the missile defense that you think of. This is all "the effect of Caliber and Zircon". In the west, they realized that a disarming strike will not work, which means they need to be spent on defensive systems. It plays into our hands.

          He thinks right.
          This is the S-Band missile defense radar.
          In 2019, the company sold ELM-2084 radars worth $ 125 million to the Czech Republic. The radar for Germany will be slightly larger, with a range of hundreds of kilometers, but the company did not indicate the exact range.

        Yes, it’s incomprehensible. S-Band "SPEKTRA" (IAI-Elta) will probably supply.

      Relations between Germany and Israel. Without exaggeration, a miracle happened.
      -Vlad: Why does Germany need missile defense, who would explain?
      In the future, Arabs, for example, from Austria will start shelling, for example, Berlin, where 70% of German Jews live.

        Why does Germany need sovereignty?
        Why does Erdogan need S-400?
        The reasons are roughly the same.

    Russia is ready to fully ensure the safety of its main gas consumer. Just whisper.
    In general, Germany can soon be accepted as a premium partner in the CSTO.

      But where does the missile defense have to do with it? This is a form of continued payment of compensation to Jews from the descendants of the Nazis.

          National Socialists, to be precise.

          One of the varieties of fascism, according to some classifications.
          Fascism is an open terrorist dictatorship of the most reactionary, most chauvinistic, most imperialist elements of finance capital.

          Israel is absolutely beside the point here - it does not fit the definition at all. (Right now there was a fat trolling, but the goyim do not understand wassat )

      prior ...Why Germany ABM, who would explain?

      Eastern neighbors, led by Poland, makes them have their own "Berdanka". Germany and France back in the early 2000s, tried to shake the question of their own army in the EU, but they were quickly put in their place by the Anglo-Saxons. hi

      In my opinion, it looks more like a consistent development of the US strategic plans for ETVD using an "additional arm" (they have such a supporting enclave in the BV with a state within a state and a couple more on the side at another level, combined in one country and located partially on self-sufficiency and partly on subsidies by the owner) is little subject to control by the outside, both in the financial and in the legal field. Very comfortably.

    It seems to me that soon Germany will demand from Poland its eastern lands back.

    Likewise. Moreover, they established the same industry, surrounded by enemies. Why can't we do this?

    But what about the NATO chief and his assurances of protection? In this case, sanctions for cooperation with Israel in the military sphere will certainly not be intimidated. It turns out that Germany sometimes has the right to decide defense issues itself.

    Yes, at the heart of the Elta ELM-2090S SPECTRA, scalable, according to customer requirements, to "long-range" from "strategic", which are only ground-based. Four radars will be installed on serious towers in western Germany. Gallium nitride, GaN, of course, etc., etc. The ship radars of the Dutch Thales on the German F-124 frigates will also be replaced by the same composition of participants, and for the same, there is a contract.
