German of the day: Luftabwehr

That means air defense.

Germany expands missile defense network with second Israeli Arrow 3 site – The Arrow 3, one of Israel’s most advanced air defense systems, is capable of intercepting ballistic missiles at altitudes of over 100 km. and with a reported range of up to 2,400 km…

The Bundeswehr announced on June 30 that the second Arrow air defense battery site would be in the greater Kaufbeuren area of Bavaria and will house the ELM-2080 Green Pine Block C radar to detect and track threats.

The second location would complement the initial battery located at Fliegerhorst Holzdorf/Schönewalde, south of the capital of Berlin. That battery was the first time the system had been deployed outside of Israel.
