 Germany sent second IRIS-T system to Ukraine. Germany has delivered the second of four promised IRIS-T SLM surface-to-air missile systems to Ukraine. According to Spiegel's sources, the transfer of one IRIS-T system and 16 missiles to Ukraine occurred several days ago, around April 16. The first IRIS-T was delivered to Ukraine last October. The German government has been in talks with Sweden about purchasing wheeled launch vehicles for the IRIS-T system. As Spiegel claims, Sweden has already delivered 12 vehicles to Germany but has not yet handed over them to Ukraine. The ground-based air-define system showed itself well in the winter around Kiev. It made an important contribution to protecting civilian infrastructure from missile, cruise missile and drone attacks. It is unclear when the remaining two IRIS-T systems promised by the German government will be sent to Ukraine. They have not yet been manufactured. Each system comprises three vehicles, a missile launcher, a radar and a fire control radar with integrated logistics and support. The missiles can hit targets at an altitude of up to 20 kilometers and at a distance of up to 40 kilometers.
