This was reported by Ukraine's Ministry of Defense.

"The complex has been successfully integrated into the air defense system of Ukraine. It has good tactical and technical characteristics, so we hope to receive more IRIS-T units from Germany. In addition, we are waiting for the NASAMS complex, which will also strengthen the air defense of our country," the spokesman for Ukraine's Air Force Command, Yurii Ihnat, said.

It was previously reported that the IRIS-T air defense system provided by Germany is already performing tasks in the Southern direction.
