Germany will put Ukraine another 45 GEPARD by the end of the year
To date, Berlin has transferred 34 such systems to Kiev, and in the coming months there will be another 15. The German authorities will appear in the coming forces. This was stated in an interview with Welt Am Sonntag by the head of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry, a brigade General Christian Freuding. According to journalists, Germany has submitted 34 Gepard systems to Ukraine to Ukraine, and another 15 is expected to be supplied in the near future.
The Bundeswehre representative explained that, according to him, the air defense is the main vulnerability of the current counter -offensive operation of the Defense Forces of Ukraine. According to him, the allies are doing everything possible, but now Ukraine is definitely insufficient opportunities for anti -missile defense, Freuding explained.
By the end of 2023, the official Berlin will put two more Iris-T SLM anti-aircraft missile complexes, which have "almost 100 percent accuracy", the representative of the German Defense Ministry said. The cost of one of the mentioned systems is about 17 million euros. Delivery of four more installations is scheduled for next year.
