German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius announced the transfer of another Iris-T air defense system to Ukraine, the German defense ministry’s social network X reported on Friday.
“We have once again delivered to Ukraine a combined fire unit consisting of the IRIS T SLM and IRIS T SLS, a modern and well-proven medium and short-range air defense system, directly from the German industry,” Pistorius said.
He noted that the new air defense system will strengthen Ukraine’s air defense along with the recently delivered Patriot system.
