This was reported by the spokesman for Ukraine's Air Force, Yurii Ihnat, according to the Strategic Communications Center created under Ukraine's Ministry of Culture.

IRIS-T SLM missiles can hit a target at a distance of 12 km and at an altitude of up to 8 km, and their maximum speed is 3672 km/h. The installation is loaded with 8 IRIS-T SLM missiles, the radius of attack is 360 degrees, and radio command and infrared guidance allows the military to hit almost any target.

Yurii Ihnat noted that IRIS-T can work in a single information field with NASAMS or Patriot air defense systems.

"NASAMS is an already proven complex that has a good reputation in the world, and is in service with 12 countries of the world. With this complex, it may be easier in terms of supplies - it is available, and there are enough missiles for it," he added.
