Media: Ukraine has handed Germany a "secret list" of desired weapons worth billions of euros

The German business daily BILD has published information about a "secret list" of weapons that Ukraine would like to receive from Germany, allegedly handed over by Ukrainian military officials. The document allegedly includes air defence systems, protected equipment and electronic warfare equipment.

According to the publication's sources, the list includes:

🔹 Air defence equipment:

• 4 advanced IRIS-T missile launchers;

• 1,500 guided missiles for the IRIS-T SLM system (medium range);

• 500 guided missiles for IRIS-T SLS (short range);

• 200,000 40mm anti-aircraft shells to counter Russian drones.

🔹 Protected vehicles:

• 1,000 mine-protected armoured vehicles;

• 200 tracked vehicles of various modifications;

• 30 armoured mine clearance vehicles;

• 20 to 30 WiSENT armoured engineering vehicles;

• 200 off-road vehicles for transporting special forces.

🔹 Means of electronic warfare:

• 1,000 GPS jammers for suppressing the homing of enemy drones;

• 200 mobile radars for ground surveillance and target detection.

Journalists estimate that the requested armaments are worth billions of euros. As BILD writes, information about the existence of such a list was confirmed by representatives of the defence industry and military sources. At the same time, the German Defence Ministry refrained from commenting.

For military security reasons and within the framework of the government's new communication policy to support Ukraine, we do not comment on requests for individual areas of assistance," the ministry said.

BILD also recalled that Germany increased the military aid budget for Ukraine in 2025 from 7.1 to 8.3 billion euros, which may give Boris Pistorius's Defence Ministry a financial manoeuvre to meet part of the Ukrainian requests.
