History
Jointly developed by IAI and Boeing as part of Israel's missile shield, Arrow 3 extends coverage into near-space, intercepting IRBMs outside the atmosphere.
First confirmed operational use in November 2023 against a Houthi ballistic missile; in 2023 Germany signed a ~€3.5 billion purchase agreement.
