Things are getting serious now ....

Things will be 'getting serious' if NATO will declare Russian attacks on the Danube ports as threatening international trade and Romanian shipping and declare them as a 'safety zone' with air defence umbrella.

Otherwise, what can be serious about air defence systems being supplied to Germany?

I do think it is serious.

No, the Arrow 3 is designed to shoot down long-range ballistic missiles which other anti-missile systems can't do because such missiles attain hypersonic speeds as they descend to their targets. Germany is clearly purchasing it to protect against a nuclear attack from Russia.

Maybe, I don't know much about this system. I read an article where the IRIS-T systems and the Arrow 3 were somehow intertwined. And so made my conclusion about that.

In any case, this move can only be welcomed.

Replacement? Why should we replace it? It's a pretty good system.

What's perhaps a little more elegant than to send as an reaction to a nuclear first strike of the Russians some million Germans to Russia who will kill every single Russian with a German longsword or a Franziska.
