Germany will provide Ukraine with three-digit number of air-to-air missiles from its own stockpiles, - Pistorius
German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius announced the transfer of a three-digit number of air-to-air missiles from the Bundeswehr’s own stockpiles to Kyiv to strengthen its air defense.
He made this announcement following a meeting of the Contact Group on Ukraine’s Defense (the "Ramstein" format), according to Censor.NET, citing "EP."
Hundreds of air defense missiles and new IRIS-T systems
Pistorius confirmed that the German government continues to adapt its support to Ukraine’s needs, focusing on air defense.
"We have delivered another IRIS-T system to Ukraine. Very recently, we also accelerated the delivery of IRIS-T SLS and IRIS-T SLM missiles. In addition, we will supply a three-digit number of air-to-air missiles from our own stockpiles," said the German defense minister.
Pistorius also noted that Germany will allocate $200 million for the purchase of additional PAC-3 missiles as part of the "Jumpstart" program. He added that the necessary production capacity will be established in Germany.
Support from Germany
- As a reminder, Ukrainian and German defense companies previously signed an official agreement to launch joint mass production of the "Termit" ground-based robotic systems
