NATO aid boost: Ukraine gets German air defense system, to be used for first time to defend against Russian attacks

NATO countries have increased aid to Ukraine following the Russian attack. Ukraine has said it has received the Iris T SLM air defense system from Germany. It has four systems.

It is being claimed that this is a sophisticated air defense system, which has not yet been used. It dodges missiles to avoid attacking aircraft, helicopters, cruise missiles or rockets.

A medium sized city can be protected with such a system. The SLM can target any target up to 20 km altitude and 40 km range.

This system could play an important role in thwarting a Russian attack. Before this, a meeting of defense officials of 50 countries was also held in Brussels, the capital of Belgium, in which there was a discussion about giving air defense system to Ukraine.
