القوات المسلحة الألمانية تتلقى بطارية أولى من نظام صواريخ الدفاع الجوي IRIS-T SLM
The German Armed Forces have received the first battery of the IRIS-T SLM anti-aircraft missile system, according to Presseportal. This delivery comes a year after the adoption of the relevant budget, which stipulated the acquisition of six batteries of the IRIS-T SLM. The transferred missile system will now be integrated into Germany’s and NATO’s air defense systems. The total budget allocated for these systems is around €950 million, with serial deliveries set to begin in 2025 and be completed by 2027. The IRIS-T SLM has proven its effectiveness in intercepting air targets, making it a popular choice among European countries.
In related news, Germany has adjusted its plans to purchase IRIS-T air defense systems for its armed forces. Originally intending to buy eight systems, the number has been revised and reduced to six. Moreover, Bulgaria is considering the possibility of acquiring IRIS-T anti-aircraft missile systems from Germany to boost its own air defense capabilities. This may include additional SLMs and a longer-range SLX system. The article appears on Militarnyi, and the information has been obtained from Presseportal and Militarnyi sources.
