"Iron Dome" in Europe? Europeans are concerned about Russia and are seeking defense from Israel.
European countries, concerned about Russian missiles, are turning to Israel and purchasing its highly effective air defense systems, such as Arrow 3 and David's Sling. Germany has already signed the largest arms deal in Israel's history, with other countries like Finland and Slovakia following suit.

European countries, increasingly concerned about the growing threat from Russia, have decided to invest in Israeli air defense systems to strengthen their security.

This growing reliance on Israeli technologies raises questions about the future of European security and its military cooperation with Israel. What impact will this trend have on Europe’s military independence and its relationships with other global powers?
