Combat work of the Ukrainian crew of the German IRIS-T SAM

The Air Force Command has published a video recording showing fragments of the combat work of the Ukrainian crew of the German IRIS-T air defense system.

As reported by Censor.NET, the video shows the actions of Ukrainian soldiers during combat missions, launching a missile and destroying an enemy target.

"The IRIS-T air defense system has been in service with the Air Force since October 2022. Nasams and IRIS-T are the first Western medium-range anti-aircraft missile systems that began to protect Ukraine's critical infrastructure from massive enemy attacks. Today, the Air Force has many Nasams and IRIS-T batteries, which are gradually being put into service and gradually replacing the morally and physically obsolete Soviet-made air defense systems. IRIS-T is a high-quality German system capable of destroying all aerodynamic targets within a radius of up to 40 km. This is the most modern anti-aircraft missile system in the Air Force," the publication notes.

IRIS-T SLM is a medium-range air defense and missile defense system developed by the German company Diehl Defence. It uses IRIS-T missiles and is designed to destroy aircraft, helicopters, unmanned aerial vehicles, and cruise missiles. The development of IRIS-T SLM was completed in 2014.
