Overview

• Moscow’s defense ministry reported that an Iskander missile struck the system in Ukraine’s Dnipropetrovsk region.
• The ministry claimed the attack destroyed the radar station, missile launcher, command center and two support vehicles.
• A roughly 30-second video released by Russian authorities purports to show the impact but its authenticity remains unverified.
• Germany has delivered six Iris-T batteries to Ukraine since the 2022 invasion to protect key cities from aerial threats.
• Both sides have deployed dummy systems in past operations, complicating independent assessment of battlefield losses.
