The first of 4 German Iris-T systems has been handed over to the Ukraine. Surprise, surprise, originally they wanted to send just one, and not before Decembre, but the Americans and other NATO allies seem to have made pressure behind the diplomatic curtain. If it really is as good as is claimed, Russian missiles should have no chance to get through it as long as the system's firing and reloading capacity is not overwhelmed by "flooding" its defence perimeter wiht missiles. However,m this system is brandnew and not evenm the Germans have in in use. Its thus untested under real world conditions.

The system has a maximum range of 40 km and a maximum altitude of 20 km.
