The transfer of Ukrainian Air Force personnel to the infantry is entering the next round. According to Ukrainian MP Oleksiy Goncharenko IRIS-T SLM technicians are also affected.
Germany's Minister of Defence Boris Pistorius today refuted reports that three additional IRIS-T SLM fire units are to be procured with the €3 billion currently under discussion.
During yesterday's 20th anniversary of the Ukrainian Air Force plenty of footage of German-delivered air defence systems and related equipment was shown.
On the 14th of June, the German government made the latest deliveries of military aid to Ukraine public. Particular focus was placed on armoured and engineering vehicles.
In order to support Ukraine with urgently needed air defence, Germany will provide Ukraine with a third Patriot battery. This means that three out of four Ukrainian Patriot batteries will originate from German stocks.
With the latest update, the German government made public that they have delivered a lot of air defence, infantry fighting vehicles, ammunition, engineering vehicles and more in the past weeks to Ukraine.
Nobody is perfect. That also applies to Germany. In this article, I discuss promises that Germany has made to Ukraine, which unfortunately cannot be kept for various reasons.
