During an interview published on September 28, 2022, by the eurointegration.com.ua website, German Ambassador to Ukraine Anka Feldhusen announced that Germany will provide Ukraine with four batteries of IRIS-T air defense missile systems. These systems are still in production and the first IRIS-T and first air defense system will be completed at the end of October 2022.

The IRIS-T air defense systems are manufactured specifically for Ukraine, and they are not in service with the German army, added the German Ambassador to Ukraine Anka Feldhuzen.

On June 1, 2022, the Army Recognition editorial team reported that German Chancellor Olaf Scholz announced that Germany will provide Ukraine with the German-made IRIS-T air-dense missile system manufactured by the company Diehl Defence.

Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, Germany has shown its involvement in helping Ukraine with the supply of a large quantity of military equipment and combat vehicles including 30 self-propelled anti-aircraft guns GEPARD, one counter-battery radar system COBRA, 54 M113 armored personnel carriers, 10 self-propelled howitzers Panzerhaubitze 2000, 3 multiple rocket launchers MARS II M270 with ammunition as well as ammunition and individual equipment for soldiers.

Recently, Germany has also approved the sale to Ukraine of 18 RCH-155, 155mm wheeled self-propelled howitzers manufactured by the German company Kraus-Maffei Wegmann (KMW).
