It includes the fifth IRIS-T system, tanks, howitzers, ammunition and drones. By the end of the year, in addition, with the support of our partners – Belgium, Denmark, Norway – we will deliver another package worth 1.4 billion euros to Ukraine. It will also include air defense systems IRIS-T, Skynex, Cheetahs, guided howitzers, self-propelled artillery installations, armored vehicles, attack drones, radars and ammunition,” the German Chancellor emphasized.
