The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine published fresh photos of the IRIS-T anti-aircraft missile system on combat duty

The other day, the Air Force of Ukraine published the first video of the combat operation of the IRIS-T anti-aircraft missile system.

The video was recorded in winter. Now the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has shown fresh footage of IRIS-T on combat duty.

What is known

As usual, the General Staff is laconic. The publication only says that IRIS-T is on alert. Judging by the environment, the photos were taken not so long ago.

The Air Force of Ukraine is armed with two anti-aircraft missile systems of the German company Diehl. In the future, Germany will transfer two more air defense systems.
