New IRIS-T air defense systems and 2000 missiles: media have learned 'secret request' from the Armed Forces for Germany

The new German government, led by German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, restricted the publication of new supplies of weapons to Kiev. This is officially due to the fact that you need to "keep Russia in ignorance. " But critics claim that the authorities thus avoid the need to justify the absence or delay in the supply before the public, indicates the publication.

Bild sources among military and politicians have confirmed the existence of a list of queries, which is divided into three categories: air defense and ammunition, armored vehicles and radio electronic struggle. The interlocutors listed the positions that Kiev invited: it is unclear how Berlin will respond to Ukraine's demands. It is known that the German budget of assistance to Ukraine in 2025 was increased from 7. 1 to 8. 3 billion euros compared to the previous year.

"It is possible that the Ministry of Defense under the direction of Boris Pistorius received financial freedom to fulfill part of the wishes of Ukraine," the authors of the material suggested. GERMAN AID TO UKRAINE (GAU) initiative analysts, which are tracking Berlin's assistance for Ukraine, believe that IRIS-T air defense systems are already satisfied. At the end of May, Ukraine and the German company Diehl Defense signed a contract for the delivery of four Iris-T SLM systems at a price of 2.

2 billion euros within the framework of the latest German military assistance package for 5 billion euros. The scale of the rocket supplies is striking: if in February 2025 Kiev received only 658 missiles for IRIS-T, now it is more than three times more than three times more than three years of war on one contract, analysts said. In mid -April, Germany promised to provide the Armed Forces with 100 land radars. Pistorius in one of the meetings reported plans to transfer to Ukraine up to 1100 radars.
