US EditionIsrael Signs Major Deal to Boost Arrow Missile Production
ISRAEL, JUL 17 – Israel is accelerating Arrow missile production after the system intercepted 86% of over 550 ballistic missiles during recent conflicts, preventing extensive damage and saving lives.
- On July 17, 2025, Israel's Defense Ministry announced a contract to accelerate production of Arrow missile interceptors at Israel Aerospace Industries.
- The contract responds to the recent 12-day conflict with Iran, starting June 13, when Israel preemptively struck Tehran fearing its rival's nuclear advances.
- During the conflict, Iran launched over 550 ballistic missiles at Israel, with Israel intercepting roughly 86 percent, largely credited to the Arrow system's upper-tier defense.
- IAI CEO Boaz Levy called the contract vital and said accelerating production reflects the Arrow system's "unprecedented success during the war," while Baram praised its exceptional performance.
- The increased missile interceptor supply aims to maintain readiness amid continued hostility risks and includes development of Arrow-4, designed to counter emerging hypersonic threats.
