IRIS-T Air Defense: Missile Intercepts and Around 200 Targets Hit

This is an IRIS-T air defense system. It can engage and works quite effectively against aerial targets such as cruise missiles Kh-101s, Kh-555s, Kalibrs, Iskander-Ks, uh, and jet-powered Shaheds.

After its first combat deployment, we saw how effective it was compared with the older equipment we had.

Compared with, well, Soviet Buks, it's easier to use, both in operation and in repair.

Even during combat operations, if the vehicle occasionally breaks down, here, it's replaced—replaced in modules.

Literally, well, half an hour to an hour to replace it and then conti— continue combat operations.

The unit has around two hundred targets hit.

Our combat operations are practically almost twenty-four seven.

The equipment works and doesn't let us down.

Of course, we do use it. And we get results too.

The results are positive. We’re making our own—
