Russian military sources shared video of destruction of German IRIS-T medium-range system with Russian missile. The ADS was reportedly destroyed near the village of Lesnoe in the Kharkiv region.
The Armed Forces of Ukraine have deployed a German anti-aircraft complex at a well-known military site, which has been equipped for air defense forces since Soviet times. Before the start of the Russian special military operation, the S-300 air defense system was deployed there, but it was destroyed by Russian forces in 2022.
The footage confirms that German IRIS-T system is ineffective for interception of Russian missiles. Its destruction in the Kharkiv region will greatly facilitate Russian air strikes throughout Ukraine.
