The AFU destroyed 100% of airborne targets today with the help of the German IRIS-T air defense system

Recently we told that the German IRIS-T air defense system in the hands of the AFU destroys 9 out of 10 missiles. But today, on October 31, during the morning firing, the air defense system handed over by Germany destroyed 100% of the targets.

What is known

This was reported by the speaker of the Air Force of the AFU Yuri Ignat, writes the newspaper ҐRUNT. Most likely, we are talking about the X-101/X-555 cruise missiles that were fired today by Russian Tu-95 and Tu-160 aircraft from the Caspian Sea on one of the regions of the country.

Flashback

IRIS-T is a medium-range surface-to-air missile system. It was developed by the German company Diehl Defense in 2014. The system is designed to destroy aircraft, helicopters, unmanned aerial vehicles, cruise and ballistic missiles. IRIS-T is considered one of the most modern air defense systems.

By the way, Ukraine received the first IRIS-T system a couple of weeks ago. By the end of this year we will receive another one. At the beginning of 2023, two more systems will be supplied to the AFU.
