    Is that a lot? That doesn’t seem like a lot. I’m an American, our government’s insanity gives us a false sense of what constitutes “a lot” in a military context.

      Air defense systems and radars are invaluable for securing energy infrastructure this winter.

      Iris-T is a state of the art medium range air defense system, reportedly with a hit rate in the upper ninety percentages. The Vector drones are also a couple hundred thousand per drone.

      I wouldn’t say that it’s a massive package, but it’s part of a steady stream support. However as you say, it is hard rival the US military complex in size.

      As someone already mentioned the Iris-T SLM system and radars are probably the highlight. Air defense is always needed and this is a modern system. Ukraine already got 2 of them before and presumably this is a newly produced one. So in this regard we really are limited by supply.
