The head of the German defense concern Rheinmetall, Armin Papperger, in an interview with the Financial Times, said that the EU countries need to create an analogue of the Israeli Iron Dome air defense system.< /p>

According to him, the European Union should develop the “European Sky Shield” initiative proposed by representatives of Germany and create a short-range air defense system.

“I think this is a very good idea. EU countries need protection like the Iron Dome and more,” Papperger noted.

He clarified that European countries have increased their defense spending.
