'Iron dome' over Europe: German Air Force supports Scholz's idea
On August 29, German Air Force chief Lieutenant General Ingo Gerharz backed Chancellor Olaf Scholz's proposal to create a pan-European air defense system
This was reported by Bild.
"Especially in the field of air defense and air defense ground support, it certainly makes sense for the Europeans to join forces", he said.
It is known that it is about the purchase of the Israeli Arrow 3 anti-missile defense system; it can be put into operation as early as 2025.
Earlier, the Chancellor of Germany stated that he intends to create a pan-European air defense system in response to Russia's war against Ukraine, because until now the EU was defenseless against possible enemy attacks.
Speaking to the students of the Charles Institute in Prague, Scholz emphasized that Germany is currently investing billions in the defense industry.
According to him, by choosing a pan-European air defense system, Germany will be able to protect its European neighbors.
