I have already mentioned our air defence support. Apart from the aforementioned IRIS-T systems, Germany will send another Patriot system there [to Ukraine] this winter," the diplomat said.

Details: Back in October, the German defence ministry stated that it would send an additional Patriot system and IRIS-T systems to Ukraine, although no deadline for their delivery had been revealed.

In mid-November, Jaeger said Germany would supply two more IRIS-T air defence systems to Ukraine by the end of the year.
