Following the approval of an order for the Arrow-3 missile defence system, Germany's budget committee has agreed to allocate funds for the purchase of IRIS-T surface-to-air missile systems in the SLM modification. This was reported by Reuters news agency, citing a German lawmaker on the committee.
Germany has already handed over two IRIS-T air defence systems to the Ukrainian Armed Forces. At the same time, the European country has not purchased any anti-aircraft missile systems for the Bundeswehr. But this is about to change.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces have been using IRIS-T SLM medium-range surface-to-air missile systems since last autumn. They will soon be joined by IRIS-T SLS.
