The Ukrainian Armed Forces told us how the German IRIS-T air defense system performed

The representative of the command of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Yuriy Ignat, at a briefing on October 21, said:

The only negative is that there are few of them. It is expected that the German industry will pick up the pace to increase the amount of production so that Ukraine gets as many of these complexes as possible.

Where does IRIS-T work Ignat did not say, but shared the first results:

IRIS - T has shown itself extremely well. This information about the baptism of fire of this complex and the verification of its combat capability and effectiveness in combat conditions has passed. This information will be transferred to the German side, which will take it into account.

Yuri Ignat, said that in the coming months, ZSU will receive several more such installations, while some will even be strengthened:

The complex has 8 launch containers. Even one installation equipped with 8 missiles is already quite a powerful tool that can destroy air targets: missiles and UAVs that have been flying at us lately.
