Germany gives Ukraine additional missiles for IRIS-T air defence system
In the past week Germany has given Ukraine additional missiles for the IRIS-T anti-aircraft missile system.
According to a report by European Pravda, this follows from the ammunition list on the official website of the German government.
In addition, Ukraine has also received two armoured repair and evacuation vehicles, 30,000 40-mm mortar shells, 5,000 155-mm calibre artillery ammunition, 4 ambulances and 18 8x8 heavy trucks with changeable bodies from the German side.
In addition, Germany gave Ukraine the first of the four promised IRIS-T SLM anti-aircraft missile systems on 11 October. The supply of the three remaining systems is planned for next year.
The IRIS-T SLM ground-based anti-aircraft system is primarily designed to protect civilians by deflecting aerial attacks by the Russian army. It is considered one of the best anti-aircraft missile systems, which even the Bundeswehr does not have at its disposal.
To enhance Ukrainian security against the aerial attacks Berlin has also given 30 Gepard self-propelled anti-aircraft systems and, according to unofficial data, might also hand over two Skynex anti-aircraft missile systems.
