Ukraine will receive a huge military package from Germany, which will provide a major boost for its air defense systems.General Christian Freuding revealed details of the aid on Wednesday, describing the weapons that will be sent to Ukraine by the end of the year.They include two medium-range IRIS-T SLM batteries and two short-range IRIS-T SLS batteries , 10 Gepard self-propelled anti-aircraft guns and a Lenkflugkörper IRIS-T guided missile system.
