Ukraine announced the signing of a new contract with Germany's Diehl Defense, the maker of IRIS-T SLS and IRIS-T SLM air defense systems, which Ukraine has been using extensively. Ukraine has noted that the systems have a 95% success rate of shooting down Russian drones and cruise missiles.

Germany has commited 17 IRIS-T batteries to Ukraine and has already delivered 11 of those systems. The remaining 6 systems are scheduled to be delivered throughout 2025, as additional funding comes online in Germany.

Today's announcement is set to TRIPLE the number of IRIS-T batteries that Ukraine will receive, to a total of 50 batteries. It will also TRIPLE the number of interceptor missiles that Ukraine will receive.

This is a massive purchase and will be delivered over several years. Each battery is valued at nearly $500 million usd. IRIS-T will slowly overtake the U.S. NASAMS systems as the most readily used "Tier 2" air defense system in Ukraine.
