Germany has intensified its military support for Ukraine amid the ongoing conflict with Russia. The German government announced on January 4th that it had delivered a Skynex air defense system to Ukraine, along with 10 Marder armored vehicles, ammunition for Leopard tanks, and other forms of military aid.
This aid package is part of Germany's continued support for Ukraine, which has included consistent weapons and equipment deliveries since Russia's full-scale invasion began. The supplies are sourced from the German army and through government contracts with private companies.
The importance of this delivery cannot be overstated, particularly in the context of Kyiv's request for more air defense systems following Russia's mass air attacks on the country during the winter holidays, which resulted in civilian casualties.
Moreover, Germany's latest shipment is comprehensive, including two air surveillance radars TRML-4D, 30 drone detection systems, missiles for IRIS-T air defense systems, 10 ground surveillance radars GO12, 155mm artillery ammunition, and munitions for firearms.
Additionally, Berlin sent two mine-clearing tanks, a bridge-laying tank, trucks, assault rifles, combat helmets, and winter camouflage nets and ponchos.
Looking forward, the German government plans to deliver even more military support to Ukraine.
This includes four more IRIS-T air defense systems, another Skynex system with ammunition, 20 more drone detection systems, thousands of anti-tank mines, and other aid.
