Details: According to the source, this concerns Berlin’s previous promises. The source stated that four IRIS-T units have already been supplied, two more systems are expected by the end of the year, and another six will be delivered later.
It is also reported that Germany intends to purchase six additional IRIS-T SLM systems for its Air Force.
Earlier, DW claimed, citing a German government representative, that Germany planned to transfer a variety of weapons to Ukraine by the end of 2024, including four IRIS-T air defence systems of various ranges and ten Leopard tanks.
Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung reported that the current budget planning of the German federal government does not provide for additional funds to support Ukraine and that at Chancellor Scholz’s request, additional applications from the German Ministry of Defence for military aid to Ukraine would no longer be approved.
The German government denied any intention to cut the military aid to Ukraine. A government spokesperson reported that the German government expects that international partners will provide Ukraine with a loan totalling US$50 billion next year, which will be covered by interest from frozen Russian assets.
