Ukraine received the German air defense weapon system Iris-T a day after dozens of Russian missile strikes rocked the Ukrainian capital Kyiv, the weekly Der Spiegel news magazine reported Wednesday.
The actual transfer of the first of four promised air defense systems of the Iris-T SLM type took place earlier in the day near the Polish-Ukrainian border.
The ground-based flight defense system is intended to protect the civilian population by averting air strikes by the Russian army.
