Germany has supplied a third powerful IRIS-T air-defense system to Ukraine as the country braces for another possible Russian missile onslaught this winter. The system was handed over this week, the Defense Ministry in Berlin said on October 27. Defense Minister Boris Pistorius stressed Germany's continued support for Ukraine in its fights against invading Russian forces. In his evening video address, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy expressed gratitude for the "very strong package from Germany,” saying it will “greatly help our soldiers and the defense of our cities."
