Universal weapons: Germany confirmed the transfer to Ukraine by the second IRIS-T air defense system

In addition, Germany handed over eight more Zetros trucks and two 8x6 trucks with eight rolled containers. Ukraine will receive another Iris-T SLM air defense system, this information was confirmed by the German Federal Government. This was written on the Bundestag website, which published a list of military assistance provided. Thus, Kiev has already received two Iris-T anti-aircraft missile systems from Berlin.

In addition, Germany handed over eight more Zetros trucks to the Ukrainian military (total is 84) and two 8x6 trucks with eight rolled containers. All equipment is transmitted directly from manufacturers. Iris-T SLM is a new system that is not even in service with the Bundeswehr. Iris-T (Infrared Imaging System Tail) is a self-evil missile that uses infrared radiation to fix the target and knock it down in the air.

The IRIS-T system uses low-range missiles that are launched from both installation and aircraft, which makes them universal weapons. The system includes a powerful launcher that affects the target of rockets within 40 km, a radar station with a range of 250 km and mobile management headquarters. Earlier, Focus wrote that Patriot air defense systems arrived in Ukraine.
