The IRIS-T air defence system, provided by Germany, worked with 100% results on October 31 — the spokesman of the Air Force Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Yurii Ihnat

However, Ukraine needs more relevant systems. "We ask and continue to urge the world to provide Ukraine with weapons. We need air defence systems," Ihnat said.

As a reminder, the modern German air defence system "IRIS-T" arrived in Ukraine on October 12. "The "IRIS-T SLM" air defence system is a newly developed state-of-the-art air defence system capable of destroying missiles at an altitude of up to 20 kilometres and a distance of 40 kilometres," the German ministry's website says.
