100% hit record - German IRIS-T has impressed Ukrainians !

The commander of the Ukrainian Air Force, Lieutenant General Mykola Oleshchuk, said in a Telegram post on May 3 that a division of the IRIS-T air defense systems had destroyed more than 60 hostile air targets over Ukraine since October 2022.

Lieutenant General Mykola Oleshchuk has also shared a video showing the systems in action.
Another Ukrainian military officer, who goes by the ‘Jeweler’ and is the deputy commander of an anti-aircraft missile unit said,
“Everyone had a great impression on the first day of using the system because they shot all (targets) down.”

Germany helping Ukraine to defend itself against the russian military. Just 10 years ago it would have sounded as ridiculous fantasy. Thank you Germany for your support! 🇩🇪 🤝 🇺🇦.

[johnslugger]

*German weapons tend to be manufactured Slowly and Carefully but BOY they can HIT-THE-SHIT!*

[philchristmas]

Iris-T is a quality system. The RuZZians are getting a look at just how much better western weapons are now that we're giving Ukraine more. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇸🇺🇦🇩🇪

[tonimontana]

Today the german goverment announced, that another four systems will be deliverd.

[ronaldrebulanan]

It just another German cutting edge military equipments. Just like other German products it's reliable & durable.

[flashnfantasy]

Ukraine is the first nation to get this system, even germany does not have it.
One battery can defend one big city like kiev, and with the high success rate, one battery will be enough for one city.
Combine this with the gepard aa-tanks, germany has provided ukraine an highly effective air defensive capability.

[andrerothweiler]

You could now say that Iris T will be a bestseller for decades to come

[Thisandthat]

This war has been a great showcase for military hardware. Except for russian one.

[berndhofmann]

Very good 👍
I'm proud that this system helps against the Russian terror.

[TheSvenson]

The new German 2.7 billion € arms package for Ukraine published yesterday also includes a further 4 IRIS-T systems - a total of eight. The 3th will be delivered in autumn.

[ibmecii]

Great! I hope that Germany delivers more of these systems and the middle range versions as well.

The IRES-T will also play a role to secure the airspace over Europe for the medium range Arow 3 for defense ballistic missiles

[KKopf]

rumour from germany for new deliveries: on a corresponding list there are, among other things, 20 Marder infantry fighting vehicles, 30 Leopard 1 tanks, 15 Gepard anti-aircraft tanks, 200 reconnaissance drones, four additional Iris-T anti-aircraft systems including ammunition, additional artillery ammunition and more than 200 armored combat and logistics vehicles.

There is also an IRIS-T HYDEF in the works against hypersonic cruise missiles.

[kralikkral]

Taiwan should invest in 10 Iris -T systems - I would do it, if I would be Taiwan.

[osher]

Israel is one of the most capable Air-defense protection country, As a person who saw many rockets and missiles interception i can tell that the IRIS-T system is a great system to defend against very challenging missiles attacks, like Cruise missiles that are very hard to intercept!

Great job Germany, very good design and together with other systems Ukraine can repel many attacks on their land.
Go Ukraine !

[hansulrichboning]

IRIS may be a little to expensive to use it on cheap iranian drones. Gepard or other AA-guns would be more cost-effective.

[Trojan]

Western combat systems getting real combat experiences

[RaoulKunz]

Took "us" (Germany that is) long enough but it's good to see top of the line systems in Ukraine - after all most German weapon systems, even the state of the art current ones, are essentially still meant to fight a "Super Citadel" style battle of annihilation against a Cold War era soviet advance out of East Germany, so it's somewhat unsurprising that the various high tech systems excel against a Russian advance over rather open ground in Ukraine.

Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦🇩🇪
