Israel is seeking to manufacture components for its Iron Dome air defense system at a Volkswagen factory in Germany, according to Shehab Wire. The plan would revive a cooperation agreement between the German automaker and Rafael, Israel's state-owned weapons company, establishing production of military equipment linked to the Iron Dome system at Volkswagen's facility in Osnabrück, Germany.
The initiative has drawn opposition, though details of the objections remain unclear. The arrangement marks a renewed effort to expand production capacity for the air defense system's components through international industrial partnerships, with the German plant positioned to supply components for the widely deployed defense platform.
