Germany is considering buying a missile defence system from Israel or the United States.
This is to defend against threats including Russian Iskander missiles in Kaliningrad, German weekly Welt is Sonntag reported on Sunday.
The Daily Sabah reports that the Germany's Chief of Defence, Eberhard Zorn saying that the Iskander missiles can reach almost all of western Europe and there is no missile shield in place to protect against this threat.
Zorn said; "The Israelis and the Americans possess such systems. Which one do we prefer? Will we manage to establish an overall (missile defence) system in NATO? These are the questions we need to answer now."
Russia said in 2018 it had deployed Iskander missiles to its Kaliningrad exclave, a slice of Russia wedged between Poland and Lithuania.
The Iskander replaced the Soviet Scud missile and its two guided missiles can carry either conventional or nuclear warheads.
