"The IRIS-T has been in service with the Air Force since October 2022. Nasams and IRIS-T are the first Western medium-range air defence missile systems to protect Ukraine's critical infrastructure from massive enemy attacks. Today, the Air Force has many Nasams and IRIS-T batteries, which are gradually entering service and are gradually replacing obsolete Soviet-made SAMs. IRIS-T is a high-quality German system capable of destroying all aerodynamic targets within a radius of up to 40 km. It is the most advanced anti-aircraft missile system in the Air Force," the commentary to the publication reads.

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